"She is a stylish dresser, ain't she?" "I wish you'd see the white linen my Bella's got. It's got sixteen yards of Cluny lace in the waist alone and such Cluny, too! I paid a dollar and a half a yard wholesale." "Just look at this waist I'm wearin', Mrs. Blondheim. You wouldn't think I paid three and a half for the lace, would you?"
Cluny took the reins, and, walking by the side of the horse's head, led him through the gates as these were opened, the others following behind. As soon as they were through, the gate closed behind them, and they were safely out of the town of Berwick.
Brother James told the guest-cook as soon as you came." He seemed to want no answer, but talked on genially and restfully about the commissioners who had come from Cluny to see after their possessions in England, and their queer French ways. "Dom Philippe would not touch the muscadel at first, and now he cannot have too much. He clamoured for claret at first, and we had to give him some.
