He asked me he actually asked me, last night how many hundreds a year the wife of a rich man could spend on her dress. 'Don't put it too low, the idiot added, with his intolerable grin. 'Neelie shall be one of the best-dressed women in England when I have married her. And this to me, after having had him at my feet, and then losing him again through Miss Milroy!
Look at her: she is the best-dressed lady in the room; her muslin is Indian, and of a quality unknown to these provincial shopkeepers; a rajah gave it us: her pearls were my mother's, and have been in every court in Europe; and she herself is beautiful, would be beautiful dressed like the dowdies who are criticising her: and I think, sir, she dances as well as any lady can encumbered with an Atom that does not know the figure."
In Russia it is a sacrament. There were thousands of people in St. Peter's, many of whom the best-dressed and the worst-behaved were Americans. It seemed very homelike and intimate to hear my own language spoken again, even if it were sometimes sadly mutilated. But I remember St. Peter's that Easter Sunday chiefly because I had with me a sympathetic companion; one who knew that St.
She was quick enough to notice that her clothing was not quite according to London fashions; but if she were not as gaily dressed as the ladies who stared at her, she had the comforting thought that her cavalier was the best-dressed and handsomest man that walked along Chepe that September day.
Well said, Grey! Here's another of the many ways of wasting life by your embellishment of it. Mr. Key. I don't know precisely what Mr. Tomes means; but as to ill-dressed people, I'm sure that the set you meet at the Jones's are the best-dressed people in town; and I never saw in Paris more splendid toilettes than were there this morning. Miss Larches. Why, to be sure! What can Mr. Grey mean?
Hardly five minutes after he had interrupted his guest in her call to the police, Jim Logan was inquiring of the hall porter whether Mr. Fred Fortescue had come in that evening. "He came, sir, but has gone out again," replied the man, thinking that the immaculate Mr. Logan one of the best-dressed, best-groomed members of the New Cosmopolitan appeared to be feeling the heat severely.
Their best-dressed men are apparently turned out not by menservants but by modistes. I will not say their women are without a gift for wearing gowns, and their chefs have unquestionably got at the inner meaning of food, but as a people at large they would never do with us. Even their language is not based on reason.
Why, I had an elegant shroud stolen from there one morning think a party by the name of Smith took it, that resides in a plebeian graveyard over yonder I think so because the first time I ever saw him he hadn't anything on but a check shirt, and the last time I saw him, which was at a social gathering in the new cemetery, he was the best-dressed corpse in the company and it is a significant fact that he left when he saw me; and presently an old woman from here missed her coffin she generally took it with her when she went anywhere, because she was liable to take cold and bring on the spasmodic rheumatism that originally killed her if she exposed herself to the night air much.
"I thought we had as handsome a turn-out at the entertainment last evenin' as any village on the Saco River could 'a' furnished: an' my Phoebe an' your Cephas, if I do say so as shouldn't, was about the best-dressed an' best-appearin' couple there was present.
His wife passed for the best-dressed woman in Rome, as she was undeniably the most remarkable in many other ways. She was not above taking an interest in dress, and her old husband had an admirable taste; moreover, he took a vast pride in her appearance, and if she had looked a whit less superior to other women, his smiling boast that she was above suspicion would have lost some of its force.
