"Oh, Lord!" murmured the man, removing his hands from his dinner-jacket pockets, but not offering to take his winnings. "What a lot of trouble I have given you." "Of course you have," she said tartly. "Why didn't you stay?" "I don't know," he replied. "How can one tell why one doesn't do things?" "Well, please take the money now and let me get rid of it. There are seven pieces of five louis each."
We had plenty of time for everything; we lived out of doors or in doors, just as we pleased, and we dressed to suit ourselves, and nobody criticised. Why, if I drop into the Magnolia on my way up-town and forget to wear a derby hat with a sack coat, or a black tie with a dinner-jacket, everybody winks and nudges his neighbor. Did you ever hear of such nonsense in your life?"
There's my own half-brother Martin runs the little ole general store my Dad used to keep. Say, I'll bet he don't know there is such a thing as a Tux as a dinner-jacket. If he was to come in here now, he'd think we were a bunch of of Why, gosh, I swear, he wouldn't know what to think! Yes, sir, they're jealous!" Chum Frink agreed, "That's so.
Instead, once a month, he got into his dinner-jacket, brushed his hair very sleekly, walked six blocks, said good-evening to his uncle's butler, and went on back to the library, where, in a room rich with costly bindings, and smelling pleasantly of leather, and warmly yellow with the light of two shaded lamps, he would find his uncle reading before a crackling wood fire.
I see by the Advocate that the Presbyterian General Assembly has voted to quit the Interchurch World Movement. That " "George! Did you hear what I said? You must be home in time to dress to-night." "Dress? Hell! I'm dressed now! Think I'm going down to the office in my B.V.D.'s?" "I will not have you talking indecently before the children! And you do have to put on your dinner-jacket!"
She studied him and Jake while she talked to Mrs. Winter. Jim seldom wore conventional evening clothes, but he had put on an American dinner-jacket. He and his comrade were strangely agile; their movements were quick, their step was light, like a cat's, and she noted how they lifted their feet. She did not know the prospector gets the habit by walking through tangled bush and across rough stones.
His dress was not nearly so neat as usual. Mr. Waddington, whose bachelor evening clothes a loose dinner-jacket and carefully tied black tie were exactly as they should be, glanced disparagingly at his visitor. "My dear Burton," he gasped, "whatever is the matter with you? You seem all knocked over." Burton had thrown himself into a chair.
Soames, who held that torn letter in a hand thrust deep into the side-pocket of his dinner-jacket, said: "I'm going to shut the window; the damp's lifting in." He did so, and stood looking at a David Cox adorning the cream-panelled wall close by. What was she thinking of? He had never understood a woman in his life except Fleur and Fleur not always! His heart beat fast.
Signer Carminatti was tall, with a black moustache, a hooked nose, well-formed languid eyes, lively and somewhat clownish gestures; he was at the same time sad and merry, melancholy and smiling, he changed his expression every moment. He was in the habit of appearing in the salon in a dinner-jacket, with a large flower in his button-hole and two or three fat diamonds on his chest.
Davis it was a simple and pleasant pattern good and bad, honest and dishonest, kind and cruel, with the good, the honest, and the kind rewarded; the bad, the dishonest, and the cruel punished; where the heroes are modest, the brave generous, the women lovely, the bus-drivers humorous; where the Prodigal returns to dine in a borrowed dinner-jacket at Delmonico's with his father, and where always the Young Man marries the Girl.
