The glimmer of the candle flung a circle, outside which all was dusk. Within the glimmer there was Markovitch, his hair rough and strangely like a wig, his face pale yellow, and wearing an old quilted bed-jacket of a purple green colour. He was in a night-dress, and his naked legs were like sticks of tallow.
Ellsworth's pleasures was to represent herself in the light of a martyr. The girl made no remark, however: she was far too experienced for such mistakes in tact. Still in silence, she peeled the stout figure of its dressing gown and helped it into a short, knitted bed-jacket. "When you get the dining-room scuttle, put out the light there and in the corridor," Mrs. Ellsworth said.
He likes me to take off the tops of his eggs for him, and he usually eats three...." Lady Hannah tripped off with her load, and deposited it before the idol, who was sitting up in a Japanese bed-jacket of wadded pink satin, left-handedly reading the Herion newspaper that comes out once a week, and is published at St. Tirlan's, twenty miles away.

As he went along the Rue Saint-Honore to reach the Rue Saint-Roch from the Place Vendome, he came up behind a girl in slippers, and dressed as a woman dresses for the night.

All his friends ceased whispering about him, suspecting him. At the Athletic Club they asked after her daily.

The vest had come in a parcel of goods from the London Committee of the French Red Cross, and I only wished that the angel of goodness and tenderness who is the Presidente of the Croix Rouge, Mme. de la Panouse, and that Mr.
"There is no age for underclothing. Don't you want them? Isn't that the loveliest nightgown? Don't you want it?" "Yes, I'd like to have it, but " Drusilla thought of her two Canton flannel nightdresses lying in her little trunk. "Well, you shall have them. And this fluffy gray dressing-gown it is a dear.
