Young, daintily dressed exquisites and young, stylishly dressed women, and also old gentlemen and old ladies, sat in couples and groups about innumerable marble-topped tables and ate fancy suppers, drank wine, and kept up a chattering din of conversation that was dazing to the senses.
Limited as were his means, and uncertain as were his prospects, Phil felt not only cheerful, but actually buoyant, as every minute took him farther away from Planktown, and so nearer the city where he hoped to make a living at the outset, and perhaps his fortune in the end. Presently perhaps half way on a young man, rather stylishly dressed, came into the car.
There were serious college professors, with gold-rimmed spectacles, buxom nounous in their uniform cloaks and long ribbon streamers, nicely dressed children romping merrily but not noisily, more queer-looking students in shabby frock coats, tight at the waist, trousers too short, and comical hats, stylishly dressed women displaying the latest fashions, brilliantly uniformed army officers strutting proudly, dangling their swords an attractive and interesting crowd, so different, thought the two Americans, from the cheap, evil- smelling, ill-mannered mob of aliens that invades their own Central Park the days when there is music, making it a nuisance instead of a pleasure.
Jacox, the widow whose wrongs had made such an impression on Malkin, announced herself, in a thin, mealy face and rag-doll figure, as not less than forty, though her irresponsible look made it evident that years profited her nothing, and suggested an explanation of the success with which she had been victimised. She was stylishly dressed, and had the air of enjoying an unusual treat.
Yes, there she stood, all gayety, grace and animation, stylishly gowned and fairly burdened with roses; and it was right at him she was gazing, nodding, smiling, all sweetness, all confiding, trusting joy; with just a little of triumph, too, and a tinge of sentimental sorrow in the parting.
There she sat with his hair before her and her own beside it; she wept. "Mother, where are you?" She might have answered, "Rafael, where are you?" She went about with him everywhere. In France two handsome, stylishly dressed people are always certain to be noticed, a thing which she thoroughly appreciated.
By the time they had finished explaining, Alf was dazed; and when invited by Walter to repeat the hit with a view to his being further impressed with its want of style, did so in such half-hearted fashion that Walter had time to step stylishly aside and show Alf how futile it is to be unscientific. To the club this episode was decently buried in an unremembered past.
Then he took his hat and stick, which were with a lot of other things on the broad white counterpane, and went off stylishly. "You don't understand," she threw at him with a delicious side-glance of reproof as he opened the door. She reproached herself for the deceiving coquetry of the glance. "Don't I?" he returned airily. He was quite sure that nothing escaped his intelligence.
"I wonder," remarked Cleopatra, as she cocked her head to one side to take in the full effect of an attractive summer gown "I wonder how that waist would make up in blue crépon, with a yoke of lace and a stylishly contrasting stock of satin ribbon?" "It would depend upon how you finished the sleeves," remarked Madame Récamier.
I had an unpleasant recollection associated with this name. It was a Marigny of whom Scipio had spoken to me a Marigny who had proposed to purchase Aurore. Of course I remembered the name. "Marigny!" I listened. "So, Marigny, you really intend to bid for her?" asked one. "Qui," replied a young sprig, stylishly and somewhat foppishly dressed.
