The carriage wheeled round, and William let down the steps, with a face bright as a sunflower. Miss Janet stood at the top of the portico steps, in her dove-colored gown, and her three-cornered handkerchief, with open arms. Alice bounded like a deer, and was clasped within them. Then Mrs. Weston, then Ellen; and afterwards, the aged relatives warmly embraced each other.
He was in dove-colored cloth, his coat very richly laced with gold, his waistcoat of white brocade with jeweled buttons, the flower-pattern outlined in finest gold thread descended midway to his knees, whilst the ruffles at his wrists and the Steinkirk at his throat were of the finest point.
Parlin was to wear the same dove-colored silk and bridal veil she had worn then, and Mr. Parlin the same coat and white vest, though they were decidedly out of fashion by this time. Dotty was resplendent in a white dress with a long sash, a gold necklace of her aunt Eastman's, and a pair of white kid slippers. Johnny was to be groomsman.
The settlers, who were busy at the Chimneys, ran, fearing some vexatious incident. What did they see? Two fine animals of a large size that had imprudently ventured on the plateau, when the bridges were open. One would have said they were horses, or at least donkeys, male and female, of a fine shape, dove-colored, the legs and tail white, striped with black on the head and neck.
"You wish to frighten me." She got up, and began to draw on her dove-colored Swedish kid gloves. "Tippie," she said to Mrs. Chetwinde, "I must go home now and have a little rest." Only then did Dion realize how marvelously she was bearing a tremendous strain. He began to admire her prodigiously. When he said good-by to her under the great porch he couldn't help asking: "Are your nerves of steel?"
Holabird and she had made out before, from the brightest breadths of her old dove-colored one and a bordering of crimson Venetian, of which there had not been enough to put upon the staircase, looked, as Barbara said, "just as if it had been done on purpose." "It says it all, anyhow, doesn't it?" said Ruth.
"Remarkable! well, no, I suppose not!" The victoria is quite out of sight now quite out of sight the delicately poised head, the dove-colored parasol. "You are joking, of course," says Frank, presently, turning toward me, and still speaking in that needlessly lowered key.
He kissed her, with a certain jaunty grace, upon her hair, and prepared to dissolve, while he lightly tapped a tattoo upon his leg with the dove-colored gloves he carried. "Good-by, my dear!" he said; "henceforth I shall sleep o' nights; my heart is quite at rest." "But mine is breaking," she wailed, madly trying once more to clasp his vanishing form.
Something in her tone reminded the mother of the boasting of a workingman who had completed a difficult piece of work to his own satisfaction. She was now dressed in a flowing, dove-colored robe, which fell from her shoulders to her feet in warm waves. The effect was soft and noiseless. She appeared to be taller in this dress; her eyes seemed darker, and her movements less nervous.
I keep it now for her to sleep in; it's Mag's cot-bed." Edith's eyes, still roving, espied a handsome kitty asleep on the lounge. It must be the zebra kitty because of its black and dove-colored stripes. Most remarkable stripes, so regular and distinct, yet so softly shaded. The face was black, with whiskers snow-white. How odd! Edith had never seen white whiskers on a kitten.
