Her Madame Ref is quite a noted cat, but Mrs. Wilcox's favorite and the handsomest of all is named Banjo, a gorgeous chinchilla and white Angora, with a silken coat that almost touches the floor and a ruff, or "lord mayor's chain," that is a finger wide. His father was Ajax, his mother was Madame Ref, and Mrs. Wilcox raised him. She has taught him many cunning tricks.
To produce the greatest sneeze that was ever heard in the valley of the Mississippi, give us, then, a man who is called a "sawed-off" by those who love him a very thick, very short, very tobaccofied, strong man in cavalry pants, with a jacket of the heaviest chinchilla a restless, oathful, laconic, thirsty, never-drunk "editor."

I managed to avoid giving in to the temptation to snatch Phyl's sumptuous chinchilla coat, Madge's perfectly adorable hat, Theo's bronze shoes, Dot's embroidered silk handbag, and Bess's hand-wrought collar and cuffs." "It was a matter of clothes, then? How much heart-burning men escape!" mused Mr. Warne.
I know women who have a dozen sets of furs ermine, chinchilla, black fox, baby lamb, and mink and sable; and I know a man whose chauffeur quit him because he wouldn't buy him a ten-thousand-dollar fur coat! And once people used to pack their furs away and take care of them; but now they wear them about the street, or at the sea-shore, and you can fairly see them fade.

Ger liked the sound of the laugh it was not making fun of him.
"No," she said, with a laugh, "they simply think, for the present, that you're giving me pearls and chinchilla cloaks." He wrinkled his brows good-humouredly. "Well, so I would, with joy at this particular minute. Don't you think perhaps you'd better take advantage of it? I don't wish to insist but I foresee that I'm much too rich not to become stingy."

Before it was finished Rita was sitting bolt upright, her chinchilla robe thrown back, her hands clasped over her knee, her eyes alight with interest; and Margaret cried, "Oh, Peggy, Peggy, what a splendid story!"
