Their home was a little hut on the edge of a little village a Flemish village a league from Antwerp, set amidst flat breadths of pasture and corn-lands, with long lines of poplars and of alders bending in the breeze on the edge of the great canal which ran through it.
I discovered also that the three-cornered scraper is excellent for obtaining various breadths of line in the background." "I made a successful experiment in sandpaper mezzotint." "M. de Fontenay and I made creme d'argent very cheaply indeed." "To-day I tried experiments on grains: the grains given by the sandpaper and rosin. That given by the fine glass-paper was the best."
"Her husband gave it to her," resumes Caroline, with a shrug of her shoulders. "Ah!" "Yes, a four hundred franc dress! It's the very finest quality of velvet." "Four hundred francs!" cries Adolphe, striking the attitude of the apostle Thomas. "But then there are two extra breadths and enough for a high waist!"
There was a white dress which could be sent to the cleaner's, and an old pink one whose superfluous breadths could be combined with lace and achieve wonders. "Indeed, I think I shall be very well off for dinner-dresses," said Emily. "Nobody expects me to change often. Every one knows if they notice at all." She did not know she was humble-minded and of an angelic contentedness of spirit.
John Smith has a mantle of marvelous adventure. It seems that he began to make it when he was a boy, and for many years worked upon it steadily until it was stiff as cloth of gold and voluminous as a puffed-out summer cloud. Some think that much of it was such stuff as dreams are made of. Probably some breadths were the fabric of vision.
When you get home you gather up all the back breadths you've got, and you do them up in a bundle, and you put them in that barrel the Ladies' Sewing Society is going to send to the missionaries next week, and don't you ever touch a back breadth again, or I'll tell it right and left, and you'll see how much business you'll have left here, I don't care how sickly it gets."
"Monsieur Deschars does things on a grand scale," replies Adolphe, taking refuge in a jest. "All men don't pay such attentions to their wives," says Caroline, curtly. "What attentions?" "Why, Adolphe, thinking of extra breadths and of a waist to make the dress good again, when it is no longer fit to be worn low in the neck." Adolphe says to himself, "Caroline wants a dress." Poor man!

Now and then we ran by a stony old town on a distant summit like the outcropping of granite or marble, and there were frequent breadths of woodland, oak and pine and, I dare say, walnut and chestnut. Evidently there had been efforts to reclaim the Maremma from its evil air and make it safely habitable, and the farther we penetrated it the more frequent the evidences were.
He fancied that she wore the lustrous black silk, with the breadths of white Venetian lace about the neck which he had praised, because he praised it. Her cheeks burned with a Jacqueminot crimson; what should be white in her face was chalky white.
