Hedworth stood up as she paused, and leaned against the mantel, looking down at her. They were in her boudoir, a yellow satin room that looked like a large jewel-casket. Lady Carnath's long slender round figure betrayed its perfections in a gown of black chiffon; on her white neck and arms and in her black hair were many diamonds; she had dressed for the opera, then given the evening to Hedworth.
Lady Queenie had not mentioned her; it was understood that the inseparables had quarrelled in the heroic manner and separated for ever. She entered the boudoir slowly. G.J. grew self-conscious, as it were because she was still the martyr of destiny and he was not.
They tapped gently at the door. Manon gave me a kiss, and escaping from my arms, quickly entered the boudoir, turning the key after her. I imagined that, not being dressed to receive strangers, she was unwilling to meet the persons who had knocked; I went to let them in. "I had hardly opened the door, when I found myself seized by three men, whom I recognised as my father's servants.
Just because the French near-actresses at the Winter Garden wear silk lace and sea-foam nighties in their imported boudoir skits, and just because they display only those frilly, beribboned handmade affairs in the Fifth Avenue shop-windows, don't you ever think that they're a national vice.
"Forty-two Cadogan Square, I might be tempted. I came out as a mimic, you know, at Corsher and Byall's in Philadelphia." Miss Schley gazed reflectively upon the brown carpet of Mrs. Wolfstein's boudoir. "Folks said I wasn't bad," she added meditatively. "I think I ought to warn Viola," said Mrs. Wolfstein. She was peculiarly intimate with people of distinction when they weren't there.
"Come, brother, away from the scene; let us go play a game at cribbage!" and retiring to the Margravine's boudoir, the two warriors sat down to the game. But though 'tis an interesting one, and though the Margrave won, yet he could not keep his attention on the cards: so agitated was his mind by the dreadful secret which weighed upon it.
Then the curtain being drawn halfway, so that only the subdued light of a boudoir came in, she awaited Zephyrin's arrival amidst all this primness, through which a pleasant scent of thyme and laurel was borne. At half-past three exactly Zephyrin made his appearance; he would walk about the street until the clocks of the neighborhood had struck the half-hour.
"She'll marry some mill-hand," he reflected, "and wear a boudoir cap, and have a lot of children who need their noses wiped." But he was uncomfortable. Anna was not in her office. Her coat and hat were not there. He was surprised, somewhat relieved. It was out of his hands, then; she had gone somewhere else to work. Well, she was a good stenographer. Somebody was having a piece of luck.
What it did not stop was the consumption of mince-pies and claret-cup in the small breakfast-room; people mumbled about her between munches. She, having been sustained with turkey and beer in the kitchen, was led by the backstairs up to Vera's very boudoir, that being the only suitable room. And there she waited. Of her hands the less said the better.
Are you quite convinced that you have news of sufficient importance to warrant the expectations you have raised in her?" "Let me see her," I prayed. She made a sign and we both left the room. Mrs. Ocumpaugh awaited me in her own boudoir on the second floor.
