However, nobody seemed to take any notice of the announcement, the room beyond being in a perfect turmoil of gaiety, and Margery's consternation at sailing under false colours subsided. At the same moment she observed awaiting them a handsome, dark-haired, rather petite lady in cream-coloured satin. 'Who is she? asked Margery of the Baron. 'She is the lady of the mansion, he whispered.
The loud murmur, increasing to a roar, of the sea, was trying enough as we approached, buoyed on the last long undulation. "Now sit still, massa, bote." We sank down into the trough, and presently were hove forwards with a smooth sliding motion up on the beach until grit, grit, we stranded on the cream-coloured sand, high and dry. "Now, jomp, massa, jomp."
At the end of the Bottoms a man stood in a sort of old-fashioned trap, bending over bundles of cream-coloured stuff; while a cluster of women held up their arms to him, some with bundles. Mrs. Anthony herself had a heap of creamy, undyed stockings hanging over her arm. "I've done ten dozen this week," she said proudly to Mrs. Morel. "T-t-t!" went the other. "I don't know how you can find time."
The procession, beginning with trumpeters and Life Guards, wound its way in relays of foreign ambassadors, members of the royal family and their suites the Duchess of Kent first the band of the Household Brigade, the Queen's bargemaster and her forty-eight watermen honorary servants for many a day twelve carriages with her Majesty's suite, a squadron of Life Guards, equerries, gentlemen riders and military officials, the royal huntsmen, yeomen-prickers, and foresters, six of her Majesty's horses, with rich trappings, each horse led by two grooms; the Knight-Marshal, marshalmen, Yeomen of the Guard, the State coach drawn by eight cream-coloured horses, attended by a Yeoman of the Guard at each wheel, and two footmen at each door the Gold Stick, Viscount Combermere, and the Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard, the Earl of Ilchester, riding on either side.
'Yes, yes: I must show you my cream-coloured dinner-dress, and my ruby dress, too. You haven't seen that either, cried Olive. 'Come along, Barnes, come along. 'But I see you use your bedroom, too, as a sitting-room? she said, as she glanced at the illustrations in a volume of Dickens and threw down a volume of Shelley's poetry. 'Oh, that's this lady, here! cried Olive.
Peerybingle and Miss Slowboy, with a cream-coloured mantle for its body, and a sort of nankeen raised-pie for its head; and so in course of time they all three got down to the door, where the old horse had already taken more than the full value of his day's toll out of the Turnpike Trust, by tearing up the road with his impatient autographs; and whence Boxer might be dimly seen in the remote perspective, standing looking back, and tempting him to come on without orders.
In the barouche sat a big old lady, a big soft, humorous-eyed old lady, in cool crêpe-de-chine, cream-coloured, with beautiful white hair, a very gay light straw bonnet, and a much befurbelowed lavender-hued sunshade.

The ceramic wares of Japan may be classified under three headings: Pottery, ornamented by scoring and glazing; A cream-coloured faience with a glaze often crackled and delicately painted; Hard porcelain. Under the first of these classifications may be included Bizen, Seto, Raku, and some other wares. Under the second I place Satsuma and some less important similar products.
