"It would satisfy you to see his toilet," whispered Vinet in her ear. "But the king makes counts," said Madame Marion, who had now joined the group and was surveying the bevy of young ladies.

On my way to Zenobia's I bought five pairs of white silk stockings, men's and women's gloves, two fine castor hats, two burlesque men's masks, and three graceful-looking female masks. I also bought two pretty china plates, and I carried them all to Zenobia's in a sedan-chair. I found that charming woman engaged in her toilet.
In fact, there was a longish silence, till I suggested using some two-inch iron pipe I had at home, instead of the light boat spars Tom had cut for the purpose.

When Paula had finished her toilet and proceeded to take the necklace off Katharina, the empty setting, which Hiram's knife had bent, caught in the thin tissue of her dress. Mary disengaged it, and Paula tossed the jewel back into the trunk. While she was locking the box she asked Katharina whether she had met Orion.
Most fibulae are in bronze; but one, found in the treasury of Curium, and now in the Museum of New York, was of gold. This, however, was most probably a votive offering.
