Why, there's one ratty little Englishman up at our place, and our girls just swarm after him; their mothers are worse. Well, it's so, Jenny," he said to the lady who had joined them and whom March turned round to see when he spoke to her. "If I wanted a foreigner I should go in for a man. And these officers! Put their mustaches up at night in curl-papers, they tell me. Introduce you to Mrs.
'Hollo! cried John, twitching one end of the dragged veil. 'Coom, wakken oop, will 'ee? After several burrowings into the old corner, and many exclamations of impatience and fatigue, the figure struggled into a sitting posture; and there, under a mass of crumpled beaver, and surrounded by a semicircle of blue curl-papers, were the delicate features of Miss Fanny Squeers.
Harry appeared at length, very pale and languid, in curl-papers, and scarce any appetite for his breakfast; and the chaplain, fumbling with his schedule in his pocket, humbly asked if his patron had had a bad night?
Which fact likewise explained the curl-papers as well as the slattern shirt-waist, donned to save the evening bodice worn to the factory that morning and now tucked away in a big box under the table. A whole side of our pretty violet-sprinkled bower caved in as a little "turner-in" lurched against it in passing with a top-heavy column of boxes.
Indeed, Bourhope had a strong suspicion that Corrie retreated to her pillow again after showing him her lovely face lovely even in the pink curl-papers. But Chrissy certainly dressed immediately, and took a morning walk, by which her complexion at least did not profit.
The young lady had only her voice and her harp, but Jasmin had his "Curl-papers." Mdlle. Roaldes was beautiful; could her beauty have influenced Jasmin? For beauty has a wonderful power in the world. But goodness is far better, and it was that and her filial love which principally influenced Jasmin in now offering her his assistance. The two made their first appearance at Agen.
When Veronique was alone with me, putting my hair into curl-papers, she said that she loved me much more now that I behaved discreetly. "My discretion," I replied, "only means that I have given up the hope of winning you. I know how to take my part." "Your love was not very great, then?" "It sprang up quickly, and you, Veronique, could have made it increase to a gigantic size."
"Take my word for it," said Bridget to Pat, "the next thing'll be Miss Nelly havin' her breakfast in bed like Lord Dunshanbo's daughters. Five of them there was, Pat, all old maids. And they used to sit round in their beds, every one with a satin quilt, and their hair in curl-papers, and a newspaper spread out to save the quilt."
"Carry has not finished her breakfast, Miss Channing," quoth she. "She was lazy this morning!" "I think some one else was lazy also," said Constance, gently drawing the child to her. "Why did you come down half-dressed, my dear?" "I am quite dressed," responded Fanny. "My frock's on, and so is my pinafore." "And these?" said Constance, touching the curl-papers.
It was Hester who found out where Harry Warrington's lodging must be, by remarking Mr. Gumbo in an undress, with his lovely hair in curl-papers, drawing a pair of red curtains aside, and opening a window-sash, whence he thrust his head and inhaled the sweet morning breeze. Mr. Gumbo did not happen to see the young people from Oakhurst, though they beheld him clearly enough.
