"One night, my sister awoke me and my brother. "'What is the matter? said Caesar. "'She has gone out, whispered Marcella. "'Gone out! "'Yes, gone out at the door, in her night-clothes, replied the child; 'I saw her get out of bed, look at my father to see if he slept, and then she went out at the door.
O'Malley in his night-clothes stood close against me on the floor, slight as a spirit, eyes a-shine, lips moving faintly into speech through the most wonderful smile a human face has ever shown me. "Do not send him away," he whispered, joy breaking from him like a light, "but tell him that I love it. Go out and thank him. Tell him I hear and understand, and say that I am coming. Will you...?"
Behind the servant stood the doctor, in his night-clothes and greatcoat, and he, too, had a candle in his hand. "Our bell is broken," he said, yawning sleepily. "It ought to have been mended long ago." Yulia broke open the telegram and read: "We drink to your health. "Ah, what idiots!" she said, and burst out laughing; and her heart felt light and gay.
All being done, and I sorry for my coming, missing of what I expected; which was, to have had a child born and dressed there, and a great deal of do: but we broke up, and nothing like it done: and there I left people receiving the Sacrament: and the Queen gone, and ladies; only my Lady Castlemayne, who looked prettily in her night-clothes, and so took my coach, which waited, and away through Covent Garden, to set down two gentlemen and a lady, who come thither to see also, and did make mighty mirth in their talk of the folly of this religion.
"Carry the key with you that you may let yourself in, and be back at half-past seven." Then Nancy began to fly about the kitchen like sputter-ings out of the frying-pan filling the kettle, lighting the lamp, and getting together the baby's night-clothes. Kate watched her and glanced at the clock. "Was the town quiet when you were out for the bacon, Nancy?" she said. "Quiet enough," said Nancy.
Planting his thick boot on the man's face, he seemed about to dash out his brains with its ironed heel, when, at that instant, the octoroon woman rushed, in her night-clothes, from his room, and with desperate energy pushed him aside, exclaiming: 'What would you do? remember WHO HE IS! The negro rose, and the Colonel, without a word, passed into his apartment.
It took from him, by some sheer physical power which he did not understand, the courage with which he would have faced a hundred Morins. When Jacques Morin began to speak, his wife and daughter took courage and spoke also; a babel of French words, angry, terrified, arose from the group, whose grey night-clothes, shaken by their gesticulations, gave them a half-frenzied appearance.
But here the lights shone only on three little ones, lying in their clean night-clothes, asleep. He went back to the dining-room; more lights, and a table laid for two, a snowy cloth and flowers, and a single carnation stuck into his napkin that must be from Louise little Louise. At last Merle was awakened by the touch of his hand on her shoulder. "Oh, are you there?" "Good-evening, Merle!"
The child was brought down in his night-clothes, wide awake, wondering apparently at the noise he heard, which he seemed to think was for his special amusement. "See if he will go to that lady," said his father. Both of us held our breath as Laura stretched her arms towards little Maurice.
As the winter was coming on, one year, she complained to me that we were not as well supplied with warm night-clothes as two of the nuns she named, whom she said she "abominated." She soon after found means to get possession of their fine warm flannel nightgowns, one of which she gave to me, while the other she put on at bed time.
