Harriet, laughing as she put down her bag and divested herself of her hat and wraps, went from the child's wild embrace into the arms of Linda herself, a tall, broadly built, pleasant-faced woman with none of Harriet's own unusual beauty, but with a family resemblance to her younger sister nevertheless. "Well, you sweet good child!" she said, warmly. "Fred here's Harriet!
Royce one evening as they were stamping off the snow and removing their heavy wraps in Rayner's hall-way after a series of garrison calls, "Mrs. Waldron says she expects you to play for her to-morrow afternoon, Miss Travers. Of course it will be my luck to be at stables." "You hear better music every afternoon than I can give you, Mr. Royce." "Where, pray?" asked Mrs.
The night came, and she and Mrs. Labadie, fully equipped in cloaks and hoods, waited together, Anne moving about restlessly, the elder woman advising her to rest while she could. The little Prince, all unconscious of the dangers of the night, or of his loss of a throne, lay among his wraps in his cradle fast asleep.
"Huc-cum you-all gettin' eve'y thing pink, Miss Becky?" Mandy asked. "For a change," said Becky.

I had not expected to, but it is my disposition to be thorough. These wraps I saw all hung in an adjoining closet, the door of which I locked, here is the key, after which I handed my guests over to my son who led them into the drawing-room where they joined the few others who had previously arrived, and went myself to telephone to you." I bowed and asked where the young people were now.
While we were going to the house to get our wraps, I overheard two ladies talking of Godmamma. They said she gave herself great airs, and considering that every one knew that years ago she had been the amie of that good-looking Englishman at the Embassy these high stilts of virtue were ridiculous. I suppose to be an amie is something wicked in French, but it doesn't sound very bad, does it, Mamma?
He drew near to Jeanne and whispered in her ear: "Are you sure you've wraps enough? a shawl, or a cape, or some kind of pelisse?" She gave a merry nod of assent. "Don't worry yourself, father; I am prepared for all emergencies."
