And I probable wuzn't so dressy as Miss Sheba, 'tennyrate I hadn't no crown or septer, a brown straw bunnet and umbrell meetin' my wants better, but not nigh so dashy lookin'. But my feelin's all come from the name of the place we wuz bound for, and the patriarchical, Biblical past my mind wuz rovin' round in. Yes, my mind wuz rousted up and runnin' on the trimmin's of the Ark and Temple.
I fear me I cannot describe it justly to you, but I will do my endeavour. 'T is a black velvet with pink satin sleeves and stomacher, and a pink satin petticoat, over which is a fall of white crape; the sides open in front, spotted all over with gray embroidery, and the edge of the coat and skirt trimmed with gray fur. Oh, Tibbie, 't is the most elegant and dashy robing that ever was!
A month before Janice would probably have been moved to tears at the discovery that her "elegant and dashy robing," as well as her Mischianza costume, had been stolen, but now she scarcely gave either of them a thought, so grateful was she merely to feel that they were safe from violence and insult.
I shall have to diminish your vanity, Alice, by telling you Walter will never 'die for love of Alice Weston. He will be captivated some day with a more dashy lady, if not an Italian countess.

Aint the water jest 'live with 'em? Aint it shinin' an' clear an' " The voice faltered an instant, then went on: "Yes, sir, I 'm comin' I 'm glad, dreffle glad to come.
He delivered his message, and the three walked slowly toward the house. Advancing to meet them came a dashy checked suit. Above it was a large Panama hat with a gaudy ribbon.

It was Mr.
Jeremy," exclaimed the doctor; "what is there delightful, I want to know, in travelling about with an arrogant old tyrant, his blind daughter, upstart dashy wife, and her two fine-lady nieces? A pretty position Gertrude would be in a slave to the whims of all that company." "Why, Dr. Jeremy," interrupted his wife, "you forget Emily."
