If ever they do regain Venetia it will be through the blood of our Brandenburghers and Pomeranians, and not their own. During this tirade a little old Belgian in black, with the chain of St. Peter at his buttonhole by way of watchguard, capered off to communicate the grateful news to a group of his ecclesiastical fellow-travellers, shrieking out in ecstasy: 'Rosses, Messieurs!
"Yes, parbleu!" said Pioche, wiping a large tear from his eye as he spoke; "he can make thee be a man, and make me feel like a girl." As Duroc attached the cross to the buttonhole of the vivandière's frock, she sat pale as death, totally overcome by her sensations of pride, and unable to say more than "Oh, Sire!" which she repeated three or four times at intervals.
George at his buttonhole and a plain forage cap set straight on his head. He took off his wet felt cloak in a corner of the room, and without greeting anyone went up to Denisov and began questioning him about the matter in hand. Denisov told him of the designs the large detachments had on the transport, of the message Petya had brought, and his own replies to both generals.
There was a flower stand on the corner, and Sheener bought a red carnation and fixed it in the old man's buttonhole. "That's the way the boy'll know him," he told me. "They ain't seen each other for since the boy was a kid." Evans accepted the attention querulously; he was trembling and feeble, yet held his head high.
"Hermy, dear, come t' me oh, Hermy dear!" called the little voice. "Yes, go in, my dear, you know y' way, I guess," sighed Mrs. Bowker, passing a small, worn hand across her faded eyes.

This done, instead of returning the box to my pocket I passed the chain through the buttonhole of my cloak and let it dangle on my breast as an ornament. When the cigarette was smoked, I cleared my throat in the orthodox manner and fixed my eyes on Runi, who, on his part, made a slight movement to indicate that he was ready to listen to what I had to say.
As I took my final leave of her she put a flower in my buttonhole. My reflection was then, and is now, that if she already knew the truth from John himself, how well she managed it!
He caught it in its fall, fixing her again after she had watched him place it in his buttonhole. "Come down quickly!" he said in an Italian not loud but deep. "Vengo, vengo!" she as clearly, but more lightly, tossed out; and she had left him the next minute to wait for her.
He was a likely man to rise in his office, and she thought she'd find a way to keep him out of debt and drinking and gambling too. Well, in comes the Commissioner and his friends, very grand indeed, all dressed like swells always do in the evening, I believe, black all over, white tie, shining boots, white kid gloves, flower in their buttonhole, all regular.
