Besides the accounts of the waist makers, the National Consumers' League received in its inquiry specific chronicles from skilled and from unskilled factory workers, both hand workers and machine operatives among others, packers of drugs, biscuits, and olives, cigarette rollers, box makers, umbrella makers, hat makers, glove makers, fur sewers, hand embroiderers, white goods workers, skirt makers, workers on men's coats, and workers on children's dresses.
Whether it was Marjorie's or Miss Grayling's I could not tell. He watched me as I examined it. 'Is it yours? 'No. It is not mine. Placing his hat and umbrella on one chair, he placed himself upon another, very leisurely. Crossing his legs, laying his folded hands upon his knees, he sat and looked at me.
Pál Gregorics's old umbrella smiled at them, and seemed like an old friend, only the handle, yes, the handle was unknown to them, for it was of silver. Gyuri gazed at it speechlessly, and felt that the end was near. A demon was behind him, constantly urging him on, and whispering: "Go on, go on, and look for your inheritance!"
There will be no extra charge. It's really my fault. I should have brought an umbrella." "You are a noble fellow," said Napoleon, grasping his hand and squeezing it warmly. "In the heyday of my prosperity, if my prosperity ever goes a-haying, I shall remember you. Your name?" "Junot, General," was the reply. Bonaparte frowned. "Ha! ha!" he laughed, acridly. "You jest, eh?
Mravucsán, the mayor, and Mr. Galba, one of the senators, immediately turned to the young man with the question: "What can I do for you, sir?" "Are you Mrs. Müncz?" "Yes, sir."

Among these there was a splendid umbrella, or small canopy, to be carried over the head of the emperor, all covered over with gems.

She replied, for the present at least, by an elevation of the eyebrows that resembled even to her own humour the vain raising of an umbrella in anticipation of a storm. M. de Mauves was left alone to finish his wine; he sat over it for more than an hour and let the darkness gather about him. At last the servant came in with a letter and lighted a candle.
Here, screened by the hedge, she stood and considered a while. Drip, drip, drip, fell the rain upon her umbrella and around; she had come out on such a morning because of the seriousness of the matter in hand; yet now she had allowed her mission to be stultified by a momentary tremulousness concerning an incident which perhaps had meant nothing after all.

On the opposite side of the path stood a few of the prehistoric creatures which accompanied the children on their excursion to the Crystal Palace. They were looking at the Little Panjandrum with a mild surprise, and seemed quite at a loss to know what all the hullabaloo was about. "Gulla hubly olla bolee!" shouted the Little Panjandrum, pointing to the animals with his umbrella.
