"Of course, in a rainbow, my boy. But in a cravat no! The cravat is the chevron of gentility. You shall see. Symphonies in browns and gray-greens! I'll make you a heart-breaker." "Why do you put such rubbish in his head, Ballard?" I said testily. "Because he's got quite enough essential matter there already," he laughed. "For ten years you've been packing him with facts.
That explains your Judgment of Flatters. "For my part, my dear fellow, my first garrison was at Boghar. I arrived there one morning in October, a second lieutenant, aged twenty, of the First African Batallion, the white chevron on my black sleeve.... Sun stripe, as the bagnards say in speaking of their grades. Boghar!
"Darling, I'm so glad so very glad," she was whispering, and Sanchia, with the same light laughing in her eyes, "Dear old Melot how sweet you are to me." Mr. Worthington pushed back his mortarboard and revealed the crimson chevron which it had bitten into his bald brow. "A charming scene two charming young ladies! Mrs. Gerald Scales and her sister, I think.
She took Sergeant Tom's cap and cloak and put them on. She drew the envelope from his pocket and put it in her bosom she showed the woman there, though for the rest of this night she was to be a Rider of the Plains, She of the Triple Chevron.
But the arms a chevron between three lions a fine coat, yet probably not so ancient as the gates." "It was such a thing as bothered me in Florence," said Sir Walter. "I'd seen it before somewhere, but where I know not a bull's head of gold on a red field." Signor Mannetti started and laughed. "Ha-ha! We will come to the golden bull presently, Sir Walter. You shall meet him, I promise you!"
Rothschild in Novitates Zoologicae for 1905, the upper part of the face has the hair rufous and shorter than in the ordinary eland, while from the lower angle of each eye a white stripe runs inwards and downwards, recalling the white chevron of the kudu, although the two stripes do not meet in the middle line.
The other regiment was the Eleventh Maine. Their colonel, strapped with his silver eagles, was watching the disposal of the colors by a sergeant wearing the broad stripe, blue diamond and triple underscoring on each sleeve. With the sergeant marched eight corporals, long-limbed, rugged giants of the color company, decorated with the narrow stripe and double chevron.
The tower-vault has quadripartite groining, with curious ornaments at the base of the ribs, and is supported by two Norm. recessed arches, with double chevron and other mouldings, resting on fluted pillars. The S. door has likewise a fine Norm. arch with the lozenge moulding. The chancel windows have rear foliations. The other windows are modern restorations.
In the spaces between the shafts of the middle arch, but not of the others, are crockets for the whole height, and the innermost cavetto is entirely filled with dog-tooth ornament. All the shafts have floriated capitals; and the great arches have similar mouldings. Four sets of ornaments run round each arch; a continuous chevron, a richly floriated roll, a roll with bands, and a series of billets.
Being an escort, we could not delay for further operations against the enemy. Our duty was to return at once to the train. Frank and I were both uninjured, but a bullet had raised the chevron on the boy's sleeve, and another had shattered the ivory hilt of his revolver.
