Across the smoke floating through the entrance Sir James looked at the sergeant. His own coat-cuff had been shorn through by a bullet. The sergeant shook his head. With a motion of his hand he gave the order to desist. In silence the soldiers picked up their dead and wounded and began their retreat, the crowd pressing forward to watch them a line of faces peering through the hazel-boughs.
Her friend took up his hat and his umbrella, and after giving the former article two or three strokes with his coat-cuff, "On the whole, I think," he said, "you had better leave it to me." After he had left her she went, the first thing, and lifted from the mantel-shelf the attenuated coffee-cup in which he had mentioned the existence of a crack; but she looked at it rather abstractedly.
Just see if Miss Nelson's plate is empty, there's a good fellow. Can't eat ice in a hurry. And George remained in his safe corner, while Dolly struggled through the crowd to do his duty, coming back in a fume, with a splash of salad dressing on his coat-cuff. 'Confound these country chaps! they go blundering round like so many dor-bugs, and make a deuce of a mess.
This was the grim fancy which darkly troubled Mat's mind, at the very same moment when Madonna was thinking how cold his hand was. He turned away impatiently from some wine offered to him just then by Zack; and, looking vacantly into the fire, drew his coat-cuff several times over his eyes and forehead.
Newman got up. "Well, we shall see," he said smoothing his hat with his coat-cuff. "Brother," said Madame de Cintre, "invite Mr. Newman to come again."

He wore a dragoon's uniform: his right arm, which rested on the table before him, was large and brawny, apparently well fitted to wield the ponderous sword that hung from his hip; but his left had been severed between wrist and elbow, and in its stead an iron hook protruded from the empty coat-cuff.
"Well, about to-morrow," observed Kenny "ha, ha, ha! there'll be lots o' swearin' Why the whole parish is to switch the primer; many a thumb and coat-cuff will be kissed in spite of priest or magistrate.
I don't kiss my coat-cuff; I kisses the book. It was not so much in deference to these strong testimonials to character, as in his restless casting about for any way or help towards the discovery on which he was concentrated, that Bradley Headstone replied: 'You needn't take offence. I didn't mean to stop you. You were too loud in the open street; that was all.
'Why yes I believe so, assented Mr Merdle, putting the spoon aside, and clumsily hiding each of his hands in the coat-cuff of the other hand. 'I believe the people in my interest down there will not make any difficulty. 'Model people! said Bar. 'I am glad you approve of them, said Mr Merdle.
I followed next to her, and Joe came last. When I looked back at Joe in the long passage, he was still weighing his hat with the greatest care, and was coming after us in long strides on the tips of his toes.
