He sobbed so violently that he could not say more; and Edward went away in a most strange state of feeling, to look for Eleazar, who lived in a house by himself lower down in a narrow valley, carrying on his favorite pursuits there. Eleazar was sitting in a loose flame-coloured bed-gown before a small furnace with a still.
For her creature comforts, her silk gowns, and her humble luxury, Sylvia did not care; Philip was almost annoyed at the indifference she often manifested to all his efforts to surround her with such things.

"Come near enough to see this." She opened her bed-gown at the throat, and drew up a loop of ribbon over her head. 'The pocketbook was attached to the ribbon. She held it out. "Your father's book," she said. "Won't you take your father's book?" For a moment, and only for a moment, Emily was repelled by the profanation associated with her birthday gift.
The sight of his own image, puffed and blinking in nightcap, bed-gown, and slippers, when he came upon it in a long mirror, set him chuckling.
