"You may be very happy for a time, and you will need only nightgowns and wrappers that will be very economical." The two lovers went on towards the dining-room, but Lucien's patron signed to the pretty pair to stop. And they stopped. "I have just been talking of your servants, my child," said he to Esther. "I must introduce them to you." The Spaniard rang twice.
'So when mummie and daddie run up to kiss baby good night. I remember once in Russia, Nicky, all the evening clothes we had was our nightgowns, but when you and your little twin brother were two and a half years old, one night I " "Mrs. Turkletaub, did you have twins?" "Did I have twins, Nicky, she asks me. She didn't know you were twins. A red one I had, as red as my black one is black.
Lydia and Martie said together. Martie went through the bare little hallways upstairs, and peeped into shabby bedrooms full of small beds and dangling nightgowns and broken toys. Mary was sitting up in her crib, tumbled, red-cheeked, tears hanging on her lashes. The room was darkened for her nap; she wore a worn little discoloured wrapper; she clung to her rag doll.
And we used to see who could go furthest down in our nightgowns and get nice things to eat, without being seen, out of the dishes as they came out of the dining-room. Eliza can't cook very nice things. She told Father she was a good plain cook, but he says it was a fancy portrait.
Soon she was sufficiently herself to scold a prodigally-minded spinster relative who had proposed that Little Dierck should be coffined in his new black Sabbath suit. "But you old maids have no sense, no more than so many cabbages. Little angels in the hemel can fly about in clean nightgowns look in the grandfather's big picture-Bible if you don't believe me.
I can't tell you how it affects me; it seems as though I must stay here forever, that if I tried to get away I'd be forced back. And I dreamed that everything I owned had been turned blue my nightgowns and nail files and travelling clock and the oranges. You wouldn't believe how depressing a blue orange could be. We will forget it as soon as possible, Lee.
While I sat monopolizing the full light of the lantern, and accoutring myself as decently as the hurry would admit of, I noticed the officers, in their nightgowns and night caps, as they extricated themselves from their coops; and picturesque looking subjects enough there were amongst them, in all conscience.
The necessary ablutions having been performed, and the clean nightgowns put on, the little ones walked to their trundle-bed hand in hand. Charley pulled the long hair once more, as they passed, and began to sing, "Willie went a-hunting"; but the young knight-errant was too sleepy and tired to return to the charge.
Besides, I've never thought these new-fangled garments was just the thing for a respectable woman there ain't enough to 'em. When I was young they was made of good thick cotton, long-sleeved an' high-necked, trimmed with Hamburg edgin' an' buttoned down the front. Speakin' of nightgowns, how are you gettin' on with your trousseau? Have you decided what you're goin' to wear for a weddin' dress?
Harris shouted "murder," and "thieves," and finished with "I'm absolutely drowned." The crash had roused the house. Mr. X pranced in, in his long night-garment, with a candle, young Z after him with another candle; a procession swept in at another door, with candles and lanterns landlord and two German guests in their nightgowns and a chambermaid in hers.
