"Yes, I know exactly what you will say: Friday, went to the Lower Rooms; wore my sprigged muslin robe with blue trimmings plain black shoes appeared to much advantage; but was strangely harassed by a queer, half-witted man, who would make me dance with him, and distressed me by his nonsense." "Indeed I shall say no such thing." "Shall I tell you what you ought to say?" "If you please."
Lady Portia's, dress was displayed a rose velvet, with point-lace trimmings and found fault with, of course. Lady Gwendoline and the Hon. Mary transacted their affairs at a little distance.

Do you think you can find them, Sweetwater?"
"You may wear them to school to-day in honor of your birthday," said her mother; "but Birger's soldier suit seems a little out of season." Birger had taken a fancy to have a suit of gray with black trimmings, such as the Swedish soldiers wear, and it had been given to him with a new Swedish flag, as a match for Gerda's furs.
"What d'you mean, strange way? airplane or submarine?" I growled. "He brought it," Whipple's words marched out of him like a solemn procession, "in a brown, sole-leather suitcase." "With brass trimmings," Dykeman supplemented, and leaned back in his chair with an audible "Ah-h-h!" of satisfaction. If ever a poor devil was flabbergasted, it was the head of the Boyne agency at that moment.
"Tea! it's poor trash. I never could drink tea in my life. But I like coffee, when 'tis boiled till it's quite black. But coffee is not good without plenty of trimmings." "What do you mean by trimmings?" He laughed. "Good sugar, and sweet cream. Coffee is not worth drinking without trimmings."
