We must have two dressing-rooms in the third story, one for the gentlemen, one for the ladies and a little fainting-room besides; the small east room will do for that we can put in it the easy-chair, with the white batiste cover I brought over from the city, with a pitcher of iced-water, and restoratives, all ready. It is always best, Mrs.
But tio Batiste, from his place on the tip of the bow, where every dash of spray was reaching him, gave a sudden call: "Look, Pascualo, Pascualo! Look! There she comes! There she comes!" The old fisherman was pointing to the horizon, where the leaden mantle of cloud seemed to be condensing into a blackish vapor. The Rector had been watching the men hauling at the net.
She visioned herself in an airy creation of batiste very simple, but the colour combination a ravishing mingling of palest pink and baby-blue, with ribbons fluttering; delicately tinted long gloves; delicately tinted slippers and silken stockings on her slender, high-arched feet; a few glittering rings on her restless fingers; one blush-pink rose in her hair which, simply arranged, suffered two or three stray rippling locks to wander wantonly across her forehead.
Susan was about to pay, when Mary stopped her. "If you pay," said she, "maybe you'll get your money back from the house, and maybe you won't. If I pay, they'll not make a kick on giving it back to me." The dress Mary had selected was a simple white batiste, cut out at the neck prettily, and with the elbow sleeves that were then the fashion. "Your arms and throat are lovely," said Mary.
After that on each of his return trips Ferragut saw a new son, although always the same one; first it was a bundle of batiste and lace carried by a showily-uniformed nurse; then by the time he was captain of the transatlantic liner, a little cherub in short skirts, chubby-cheeked, with a round head covered with a silky down, holding out its little arms to him; finally a boy who was beginning to go to school and at sight of his father would grasp his hard right hand, admiring him with his great eyes, as though he saw in his person the concentrated perfection of all the forces of the universe.
Mine has dressing-gowns of batiste and diamond rings for the evening!" said a lawyer's clerk. "But she has a box at the Francais!" said an army officer. "At any rate," cried another one, an elderly man who spoke as if he were standing on the defence, "she does not cost me a sou! In our case wouldn't you like to have the same chance, my respected friend?"
Then he would go away having enjoyed his visit, he won't reason why, and will come again; and then when I am gone, he can be pushed into the marriage with Victorine! She rang for Agnès while she spoke, and I was simply pitched into the blue batiste, and hustled downstairs. Such a scene in the salon!
Nancy was wearing her first train that night; it was only a wee bit of a train, nothing regal and sweeping; but it gave her a secret thrill to throw it over one arm, displaying her lace trimmed petticoat underneath, while she tripped along the garden path. The dress was of pink batiste and delicate lace, and from the round neck her throat rose soft and white like a column.
"Kindly pour out the water for me to wash now, please," Darya Alexandrovna cut her short. "Certainly. We've two women kept specially for washing small things, but most of the linen's done by machinery. The count goes into everything himself. Ah, what a husband!..." Dolly was glad when Anna came in, and by her entrance put a stop to Annushka's gossip. Anna had put on a very simple batiste gown.
What's the stuff goes into that, Cy?" "'Material, batiste, trimmed with embroidered batiste. What in time is batiste?" "I don't know. Do you, Bailey?" "No; never heard of it. Ketury never had nothin' like that, I'm sure. French, I shouldn't wonder. Well, Ketury's down on the French ever sence she read about Napoleon leavin' his fust wife to take up with another woman. Does it say any more?"
