"Thanks, Nelton, I'm well as well. So is Master Lewis. Got his room ready? Show him the bath." Lewis, looking upon Nelton, suddenly remembered a little room in the Sul Americano at Bahia. He felt sure that when Nelton opened his mouth it would be to say, "Will you be wearing the white flannels to-night, sir, or the dinner-jacket?"
One of these was a plump young man who wore a coloured scarf round his waist and babbled of golf handicaps ... I saw him again in the villa dining-room, wearing a dinner-jacket, and lisping a little.... I sat opposite him at bridge, I beheld him collared by two of Macgillivray's men, when his comrade had rushed for the thirty-nine steps that led to the sea ... I saw, too, the sitting-room of my old flat in Portland Place and heard little Scudder's quick, anxious voice talking about the three men he feared most on earth, one of whom lisped in his speech.
I'm not at all sure that I'm properly hooked up the back. I know I feel draughty." Then, as though she had not remembered that he was expected, "Why, hullo, Tabs! In a dinner-jacket! You do look peaceful and jolly." They had taken their places at the square handsome table, illuminated at each corner by a silver candle-stick, red-shaded and electric-lighted.
Anyway I tell you it's mighty important to I was saying to Verg Gunch, just last evening, most people don't take sufficient care of their diges " "Shall we have the Gunches for our dinner, next week?" "Why sure; you bet." "Now see here, George: I want you to put on your nice dinner-jacket that evening." "Rats! The rest of 'em won't want to dress." "Of course they will.
Prohack, esteeming that a quiet domestic meal at home demanded no ceremony, had put on his old velvet, but Eve had sharply corrected his sense of values so shrewishly indeed that nobody would have taken her for the recent recipient of a marvellous necklace at his hands and he had yielded to the extent of a dinner-jacket. Charlie had not yet come.
Jane Jukes Jopp, the wife who had divorced him for systematic and ingrowing fiendishness on the ground that he had repeatedly outraged her feelings by wearing a white waistcoat with a dinner-jacket. She continued to look at him dumbly, and then uttered a sort of strangled, hysterical laugh. "Those legs!" she cried. "Those legs!" Vincent Jopp flushed darkly.
And a dinner-jacket suit. Two business suits, a light and a dark. You won't need a morning coat, I expect, for a while. Anyway, we've got to save somethin' out for shirts and boots, haven't we?" "I haven't the money with me" remarked Banneker, his innocent mind on the cash-with-order policy of Sears-Roebuck. "Now, see here," said Cressey, good-humoredly, yet with an effect of authority.
He brought no dress-suit for one thing, not even a dinner-jacket, and he wore very low collars with big balloon ties like a Frenchman, and let his hair grow longer than was nice, she felt. Not that these things were important, but that she considered them symptoms of something a little disordered. The ties were unnecessarily flowing.
No doubt we shall be able to discover some solution of Mr. Bickersteth's difficulty, sir." "Well, have a stab at it, Jeeves!" "I will spare no pains, sir." I went and dressed sadly. It will show you pretty well how pipped I was when I tell you that I near as a toucher put on a white tie with a dinner-jacket. I sallied out for a bit of food more to pass the time than because I wanted it.
There he was at sixty-five and no more in command of things than if he had not spent forty years in building up security always something one couldn't get on terms with! In the pocket of his dinner-jacket was a letter from Annette. She was coming back in a fortnight. He knew nothing of what she had been doing out there. And he was glad that he did not. Her absence had been a relief.
