Her Majesty's train was of lilac velvet, petticoat of lilac and silver moire antique, with a flounce of Honiton lace; corsage ornamented with diamonds, the Koh-i- noor as a brooch; head-dress, a magnificent diadem of diamonds and pearls. The three younger princesses Alice, Helena, and Louise, girls of fifteen, twelve, and ten went hand-in-hand behind their mother.
Vaura managed while speaking to detach from her corsage some violets and a crushed rose, which, when Everly and De Vesey were not observing, she dropped at Trevalyon's feet; and turning her head as she took Sir Tilton's arm, gave him her own syren smile from eyes and lips and Lionel was alone.
For it is true, I love beautiful things; I love them so passionately that at times I wish for impossibilities, gowns woven of sunbeams, impalpable veils made of the blue of heaven. How beautiful I am going to look! how beautiful I am going to look!" Radiant in her ecstatic gratitude, she drew close to him, still looking at the corsage, and compelling him to admire it with her.
It was not a dress to be hurried with; every quill and gather of its trimming must be "set just so;" and there was still one flounce to be made, and these others were only basted, as also the corsage. After the hours were up that afternoon, Miss Tonker called Aunt Blin aside. She uncovered the large white box in which it lay, unfinished. "You have a nice room, Miss Bree.
How tall, and slender, and graceful she looked in that long gown, the folds of which fell from her waist in flowing lines, a waist as round and flexible as the branch of a willow; what elegance there was in her modest corsage, which displayed for the first time her lovely arms and neck, half afraid of their own exposure.
And so Vaura, her trailing skirts of cream satin, front width richly embroidered in gold floss, with the perfume of tea roses from her corsage and bouquet she carried, in all the fulness of her rich beauty, with proud head bent as she chatted with the dark-eyed, black-haired boy beside her, followed Trevalyon with his burden and the priest who walked at his side.
Suddenly Miss Ingate beheld in the mirror the masterpiece of an illustrious male dressmaker-a masterpiece in which no touch of the last fashion was abated-and little Essex Winnie grinning from within it. She screamed. And forthwith putting her hands behind her neck she began to unhook the corsage. "What are you doing, Winnie?" "I'm taking it off." "But why?" "Because I'm not going to wear it."
There was no great hurry, so she leisurely put on the pretty scarlet and white-striped skirt, the velvet apron, the white bodice and laced corsage, clasped the necklace round her throat, and twisted the gay silk handkerchief as a head-dress on her dark hair. It was a prettier and more effective costume even than the Greek one.
I should think you would be perfectly happy." "I shall be, if I can contrive to keep them fresh to wear to-night. Mamma how sweetly they would dress me." "They're a great deal too good to be wasted so," said Mrs. Evelyn; "I sha'n't let you do it." "Mamma! it wouldn't take any of them at all for my hair and the bouquet de corsage too there'd be thousands left Well Joe, what are you waiting for?"
Her robes of rich brocaded silk were of a brilliant golden yellow, heavily embroidered with gold thread, and thickly studded with various jewels. In the bright flood of sunlight that struck full upon her from the painted dome above, the diamonds and rubies enriching her handsome corsage gleamed and flashed white, green and blood-red.
