"Indeed Salina you must tell me!" Salina folded her blanket-shawl tightly around her upright person. "Judge Sharp, it's of no use I'm flint." With these words that strong-minded female turned, with her nose in the air, and left the room, planting her footsteps with great firmness, as if she meant by their very sound to impress the judge with the strength of her determination.
Here and there, a ruddy-faced Irish woman, wrapped in a large blanket-shawl, with a coarse straw bonnet blown back from her head, breasted the breeze with a little trotting child, who took half a dozen steps to one of hers, tugging hard at her hand. It was not likely I should meet a fashionable acquaintance at this early hour; and if I did, I was shrouded from recognition.
I know 'em!" and she put on her hood and blanket-shawl as she gave one last fond look at the improvements.

A BLANKET-shawl we call it, and not a plaid; and we wear it like the aborigines, and not like the Highlanders. We are the Romans of the modern world, the great assimilating people.

All eyes were fixed on the steamer-end of the gang-plank, and every heart beat wildly as Blizzer appeared, leading a figure displaying only the top of a big bonnet and a blanket-shawl hanging on one arm. They stepped on the gang-plank, they reached the shore, and then the figure raised its head and dropped the shawl.
