"Come here, then, and let me look at her sewing." Ishmael went to the lady, who took his arm and carefully examined the stitching of his jacket and shirt sleeve. "She sews beautifully. That will do, my boy. Ring that bell for me." Ishmael obeyed and a servant answered the summons. "Jane," she said, "hand me that roll of linen from the wardrobe."

"Me," replied the Mexican, and managed to speak without removing the cigarette. "I'm glad to know you." she answered. "I am Marianne Jordan." At this, Manuel Cordova removed his cigarette, regardless of the ashes which tumbled straightway down the bell-mouthed sleeve of his jacket; for a Mexican deems it highly indecorous to pay the slightest heed to his tobacco ashes.

He waited until he knew from the sound of their footsteps that the pair had regained the street, then, resting his arm against the closed door, and pressing his forehead to the damp sleeve of his coat, he stood awhile, the lamp, which he held limply, shining down upon the floor. His lips moved, and almost inaudibly he murmured his wife's name.

It was amusing enough to see him and his son, d'Antin, playing with Madame d'Orleans and Madame la Duchesse, and presenting the cards very politely, and kissing his hand to the Princesses, who were called his own daughters. He thought it a joke himself, and always turned aside a little to laugh in his sleeve.

Strether liked him for it, on the spot, as he hadn't yet liked him; it affected him while it lasted as he might have been affected by some light pleasant perfect work of art: to that degree that he wondered if they were really worthy of it, took it in and did it justice; to that degree that it would have been scarce a miracle if, there in the luggage-room, while they waited for their things, Sarah had pulled his sleeve and drawn him aside.

Mama's face flamed, and she looked right down to her nose without saying a word. "Why did you not tell me you were going to invite them, and I would have brought home some flowers?" said Honey's papa. Honey, who sat next to her papa, resplendent in a white dress and flowing curls, clutched his sleeve, and said: "It's my party papa. I 'wited 'em frew the phone.

One's soul is shaken inside out.... Towards daybreak one is fearfully exhausted by the cold, by the jolting and the jingle of the bells: one has a passionate longing for warmth and a bed. While they change horses one curls up in some corner and at once drops asleep, and a minute later the driver pulls at one's sleeve and says: "Get up, friend, it is time to start."

He was all out of breath, he told me, with the pushing and striking, and held on to the red-painted barrier with both hands. The King stooped and whispered with at cardinal, who was plucking him by the sleeve, for the space of a paternoster, and the murmuring began to break out again. Then he turned, and lifted his hand once more for silence. "What are the tidings, sir?"

One of my erstwhile jobs at the University of California had been piloting college girls around through factories in just that fashion. I had to laugh in my sleeve as I suspected the same remarks may have been passed on us after our departure! We have much fun at our lunch table. A switchboard operator and file clerk from the office eats with us.
