"I I think Monsieur Covington must be waiting for us." "Yes, mademoiselle." Her ears caught at the word. "Marie." "Yes, mademoiselle." "I wish even after this to have you always address me as mademoiselle." "But that " "It is my wish." It was a blue-and-gold morning, with the city looking as if it had received a scrubbing during the night. So too did Monte, who was waiting below for her.
I wondered what Anthony would have said could he have visioned for the moment this blue-and-gold enchantress. When coffee was served there were no cigarettes or cigars. Nancy had her own silver case hanging at her belt. I knew that she would smoke, and I did not try to stop her. She always smoked after her meals and she was restless without it. It was Olaf who stopped her.
A lovely pea-green is the precise shade on which to found aristocratic distinction. But then we are liberal; we associate with the Moths, who are gray; with the Butterflies, who are blue-and-gold coloured; with the Grasshoppers, yellow and brown; and society would become dreadfully mixed if it were not fortunately ordered that the Crickets are black as jet.
The carriage rolled away, the powdered footman in blue-and-gold very stiff behind it, M. de La Tour d'Azyr bowing to mademoiselle, who waved to him in answer. Then M. de Vilmorin put his arm through that of Andre Louis, and said to him, "Come, Andre." "But you'll stay to dine, both of you!" cried the hospitable Lord of Gavrillac.
"Yes," replied Manicamp; "I am in mourning." "For whom, or for what?" "For my blue-and-gold suit, which has disappeared, and in the place of which I could find nothing but this; and I was even obliged to economize from compulsion, in order to get possession of it." "Indeed?" "It is singular you should be astonished at that, since you leave me without any money."
"She is almost as big as Lottie," someone gasped. Lottie clapped her hands and danced about, giggling. "She's dressed for the theater," said Lavinia. "Her cloak is lined with ermine." "Oh," cried Ermengarde, darting forward, "she has an opera-glass in her hand a blue-and-gold one!" "Here is her trunk," said Sara. "Let us open it and look at her things."
This reredos, reaching up to the blue-and-gold apse vault, was given to the cathedral in 1508 by Bishop D. Jorge d'Almeida, and was the work of 'Master Vlimer a Framengo, that is, a Fleming, and of his partner, João D'ipri, or of Ypres, two of the many foreigners who at that time worked for King D. Manoel.
Next morning he called again at the Metropole before the ladies were about, but to his chagrin, he learnt from the blue-and-gold concierge that Monsieur Courtin, of the Ministry of Justice, had left at ten-fifteen o'clock on the previous night by the rapide for Paris. He had been recalled urgently, and a special coupe-lit had been reserved for him from Ventimiglia.
This young officer is in full uniform, as if on parade. He is all agleam with bullion a blue-and-gold edition of the Poetry of War. A wave of derisive laughter runs abreast of him all along the line. But how handsome he is! with what careless grace he sits his horse! He reins up within a respectful distance of the corps commander and salutes.
That solid blue-and-gold square of Place supporters suddenly became an insane tossing, screeching mêlée. The great hit also seemed to unleash the fiery spirit which had waited its chance. The Wayne players came in for their turn like angry bees. Trace got a base on balls. Dean sacrificed. Ken also essayed to bunt and fouled himself out on strikes.
