Davies and Risk, when called to supper, smelled strongly of rose-scented cold-cream; and Lund was unsparing in sarcastic remarks on the extreme floridness of complexion of the entire party. "Ben, don't have any powder lying round loose to-morrow, with such a face as that. As for Creamer, he can't have any cotton sheets to-night, for fear of a conflagration.
It was for him that she filed her nails with the care of a chaser, and that there was never enough cold-cream for her skin, nor of patchouli for her handkerchiefs. She loaded herself with bracelets, rings, and necklaces. When he was coming she filled the two large blue glass vases with roses, and prepared her room and her person like a courtesan expecting a prince.
He seemed to be aware that there must be considerable difficulty, and he not only anointed the parts with cold-cream, but he also refrained from attempting to force it in by any violent exertion on his part, apparently wishing that the junction should be brought about in a manner that would run less risk of occasioning me pain by my pressing gently down upon it myself.
"Glad!" said Hattie, and laughed as if her mirth were a dice shaking in a box of echoes. "Your hair's right red yet. Looked mighty natural walkin' into the theater to-night. Take off those kinks, honey." She reached for her cleansing cream, then stopped, her eyes full of the foment of torture. "What's my looks to you?" "You've filled out." "You haven't," she said, putting down the cold-cream jar.
She sang grotesquely as she brushed her teeth and scumbled her face with cold-cream, rubbed it in and rubbed it out again. She was so glad to be a mere girl in her own flesh and not much else that she went about the room crooning to herself.
Groome's skin had never felt the guilty caress of cold-cream or powder, and if it was mahogany in tint and deeply wrinkled, it was at least as respectable as her past. In her day that now bourgeois adjective twin to genteel had been synchronous with the equally obsolete word swell, but it had never occurred to even the more modern Mrs.
Now pull the bits of silk often, and cold-cream your ears every night, and you'll soon be ready for the rings," said Ariadne, well pleased with her job, for the girl who spoke French with "a fine accent" lay flat upon the sofa, looking as exhausted as if she had had both ears cut off. "It does hurt dreadfully, and I know uncle won't like it," sighed Rose, as remorse began to gnaw.
I could step into that outfit to-morrow, look the part, and land back that job or any other. I had a way with the trade, even back at Finley's." "Here, hold my jewel bag, honey; I'm going to die of cold-cream suffocation if she don't soon come back and unsmear me." "Opal beetle in it?" "Yes, dearie; but it won't bite. It's muzzled with my diamond horseshoe." "Nothing doing, Kit.
Cold-cream! and be sure you put it on your face before you go to bed." Sylvia apparently did not hear her mother's comment. At all events she disregarded it, and Monsieur Pettigrat once again shook his head at Sylvia with a kindly magnificence. "They have no message for me, mademoiselle," he said, with a sigh, as though he for once regretted that he was so uncommon. "I once went up there to see."
"His eyes were like beads, His tail like a mop, And it waggled as if It never would stop. "His hair was like silk Of the glossiest sheen, He always ate milk, And once the cold-cream "For Yappy he died Just two months ago, And we oughtn't to sing At a funeral, you know." The "Poem" met with immense applause; all the children laughed, and shouted, and clapped, till the loft rang again.
