Imogen felt that she was holding herself as she had never held herself. "Don't you think I see all that, Jack?" "Well, I only meant that I, since coming to know her, really know her, in Boston, see it most of all." "And you can't see, too, how it must stab me to have papa papa put, through her trivial words, into the category of black-edged paper?" Her voice had now the note of tears.
Shaking her head gravely over the black-edged holes which the coals had burned in the peplos and the under-robes, Euryale secretly rejoiced at the accident. She remembered that when her heart was torn and bleeding, after the death of her only child, her thoughts were taken off herself by the necessary duty of providing mourning garments for herself, her husband, and the slaves.
He put the tray with the breakfast and the letter on the dressing-table, before which Becky sat combing her yellow hair. She took up the black-edged missive, and having read it, she jumped up from the chair, crying "Hurray!" and waving the note round her head. "Hurray?" said Rawdon, wondering at the little figure capering about in a streaming flannel dressing-gown, with tawny locks dishevelled.
The two spent a most industrious morning, so much so that the household marvelled at their goodness, and remarked to one another, "The children are no trouble at all." Towards the end of the sitting Tom flung down his paper with a whistle of dismay. "I say, Jill, they ought to be black-edged!" Jill turned pale. "What is to be done?" she gasped.
Farren," interrupted Scott cheerfully; "we haven't anything to do till Kathleen comes back, and you know it perfectly well!" "Yes, you have, dearie; Mrs. Severn has just sent you this list of lessons." She held out a black-edged envelope. Geraldine, who had been leisurely occupied in dropping cologne on a lump of sugar, thrust the lump into her pink mouth and turned sharply on Mrs. Farren.
So he had bought, at her desire, a black-edged sheet of fine-wove paper, and a couple of good pens, on the previous Saturday; and while waiting for her to begin her dictation, and full serious thought himself, he had almost unconsciously made the grand flourish at the top of the paper which he had learnt at school, and which was there called a spread-eagle.
For some days Sweep and I were absent, fishing. When I returned, I found on my mantelpiece a black-edged letter in an unfamiliar hand. But for the black I should have fancied it was a bill. The writing was what is called "commercial." I opened it and read as follows: "North Side Mills, Blackford, Yorks. 4/8, 18 .
Let me have note paper and envelopes quickly: not black-edged. 'Plain; that's right, said Lord Romfrey. Black appeared to him like the torch of death flying over the country. 'There may be hope, he added. She sighed: 'Oh! yes. 'Gannet will do everything that man can do to save him. 'He will, I am sure. 'You don't keep watch in the room, my dear, do you?
This hotel is full of them young officers mostly, with their heads tied up or their arms in black silk slings, or limping about on canes or crutches. Until a few days ago the columns of the back pages of the Aix and Cologne papers were black-edged with cards inserted by relatives in memory of officers who had fallen "For King and Fatherland!" the cards always said.
No one, of course, believed this, but no one wanted to argue with Doyle about it. Father McCormack went on reading from the black-edged card which he held in his hand. "'Mortuary Sculptor," "Sculptor!" said Dr. O'Grady. "You hear that, Major, don't you? Sculptors are people who make statues." "Mortuary sculptors, I suppose," said the Major viciously, "make statues of dead men."
