As they approached the group, the shorter of the two black dominoes spoke. 'You need not trouble to introduce Captain Rallywood, Anthony. We are already friends; are we not, Monsieur? The sweet high voice and the inconsequent childish laugh came upon Rallywood with a slight shock. 'I could hardly have dared to claim so much, he said; 'but I cannot forget that Madame de Sagan
I met her at the Opera-house, and she told me a cock-and-bull story about a young officer who had come to see a lady there, and had left his regiment at Moscow without leave to do so. His colonel, who was at the Opera-house, had heard of his being there and was looking for him, and I was persuaded to change dominoes with him to enable him to slip off." "Oh that was it!" Alexis said.
She used not to be frightened. Ask her to remember the afternoons when I had the broken ankle she and Sabetta Debernardi used to come nearly every day and Sabetta brought her zither and Nina and I played dominoes.
How to be happy! not to read Baudelaire and Verlaine, not to enter the Nouvelle Athènes, unless perhaps to play dominoes like the bourgeois over there, not to do anything that would awake a too intense consciousness of life, to live in a sleepy country side, to have a garden to work in, to have a wife and children, to chatter quietly every evening over the details of existence.
"Steward," he directed, "bring me a glass of Vermouth and some dominoes." Peter's eyes were suddenly bright. Sogrange touched his foot under the table and whispered a word of warning. The dominoes were brought. The newcomer arranged them as though for a game. Then he calmly withdrew the double-four and laid it before Sogrange.
I am going to scare those girls within an inch of their wretched lives. They are masked and in dominoes. You can imagine what Marjorie went through for a minute. I know a dance called the dance of the vampire bat. It is terribly, horribly gruesome. I am going to prance in on them with that. I have danced it in this very cloak. See how full it is." Ronny held up a fold for inspection.
Merton Gill resolved never to play the part of an Arab sheik at the mercy of man-eating camels and having to smoke something that looked murderous. Under Henshaw's direction the grizzled proprietor now served tiny cups of coffee to the sheik and his lesser patrons. Two of these played dominoes, and one or two reclined as in sleep. Cameras were brought up.
Once, Margaret would have been incapable of accepting that situation so gracefully. She gave a reception to Mrs. Slade in honour of her election, and that night had a little return of her lost peace. Then during one of the meetings, a really good paper was read, which set her thinking. That evening she played dominoes with Maida and Adelaide, and always after that a game followed dinner.
Soda-water here baccy there letter-paper, bacon, jam, cards and dominoes you'll find, he continued, as they descended the steps again, 'you'll find that nothing what ever has been forgotten, when we make our start this afternoon. 'I beg your pardon, said the Rat slowly, as he chewed a straw, 'but did I overhear you say something about "WE," and "START," and "THIS AFTERNOON?"
She could not endure that her fat, lazy husband should amuse himself at games while lying in his bed; and whenever she caught him beginning a game she pounced furiously on the dominoes, overturned the plank, and carried all away into the bar, declaring that it was quite enough to have to feed that fat, lazy pig without seeing him amusing himself, as if to annoy poor people who had to work hard all day long.
