The bear and the man that strike alternately a wooden anvil with a ditto hammer are scarcely less exciting to the infantile mind; but, being of wood, they are steady boarders permanently attached each to his ward. The dominos fell to the lot of the male scarlets.
By my faith, said I, I am no great pardon-taker in this world if I shall be any such in the other, I cannot tell; yet let us go, in God's name; it is but one farthing more or less; But, said he, lend me then a farthing upon interest. No, no, said I; I will give it you freely, and from my heart. Grates vobis dominos, said he. So we went along, beginning at St.
Paul had been told what she was to wear; but he probably knew her by some sign, agreed upon beforehand, from all the other black dominos; for a number of other ladies had chosen the same over-garment to hide the brilliant costumes until the time came for unmasking.
"She can still weep!" whispered Bixiou. "A strange sight, tears from dominos! It is like the miracle of Moses." "How burnt up!" cried Joseph. "In the fires of repentance," said Flore. "I cannot get a priest; I have nothing, not even a crucifix, to help me see God.
Dominos of no character, and fancy dresses of no meaning, made, as is usual at such meetings, the general herd of the company: for the rest, the men were Spaniards, chimney-sweepers, Turks, watchmen, conjurers, and old women; and the ladies, shepherdesses, orange girls, Circassians, gipseys, haymakers, and sultanas.
The street, at all events, would have looked rather brilliant under a sunny sky, the balconies being hung with bright-colored draperies, which were also flung out of some of the windows. . . . . Soon I had my first experience of the Carnival in a handful of confetti, right slap in my face. . . . . Many of the ladies wore loose white dominos, and some of the gentlemen had on defensive armor of blouses; and wire masks over the face were a protection for both sexes, not a needless one, for I received a shot in my right eye which cost me many tears.
Here the dominos arrived, and M. Georges began shuffling them; the other turned to Graham and asked politely if he understood the game. "A little, but not enough to comprehend why it is said to require so much skill." "It is chiefly an affair of memory with me; but M. Georges, my opponent, has the talent of combination, which I have not."
I can't prove that those dominos were the Sans, for I didn't see their faces. Of course, if I accused them of hazing me, in making a report to President Matthews, they would probably be summoned and put through an inquiry. In that case some of them would be certain to weaken and confess." "True," Leila nodded. "Dr. Matthews would be hard on them. He is so bitterly opposed to hazing.
On the very birthday of the adorable Bonau I was obliged to set out.....She heard of it.....She put no trust in my heart!" "Well, then, Brahmin, take advantage of the present moment. The New Year makes up all quarrels. Is the Countess here?" "Do you not see her over there the Carmelite on the left of the third pillar beside the two black dominos. She has laid aside her mask.
But wise men certainly are scarce, and when one has hit on a wise man's name it is so little known to the vulgar that it would carry no more weight with it than Spot or Toby. But necessarily some name the dog must have, and take to sympathetically." Sophy meanwhile had extracted the dominos from Waife's bundle, and with the dominos an alphabet and a multiplication-table in printed capitals.
