They are the dark places of the earth, full of unimaginable cruelty, touching the Railway and the Telegraph on one side, and, on the other, the days of Harun-al-Raschid. When I left the train I did business with divers Kings, and in eight days passed through many changes of life. Sometimes I wore dress-clothes and consorted with Princes and Politicals, drinking from crystal and eating from silver.
He had Christmas dinner in state, with the California Exiles Club. He was craftily careless about the manner in which he touched a letter in his pocket for gloves, which tailors have been inspired to put on the left side of dress-clothes. Twice Carl called at Ruth's in the two weeks after Christmas.
I think that would be a rather nice excuse: it would have the surprise of candor." "It is such a bore putting on one's dress-clothes," muttered Hallward. "And, when one has them on, they are so horrid." "Yes," answered Lord Henry, dreamily, "the costume of our day is detestable. It is so sombre, so depressing. Sin is the only color- element left in modern life."
To which sentiment two men at Msala bore generous testimony later on. The simple dinner was almost at an end, and it was at this time that Jocelyn Gordon began once more to dislike Durnovo.

And when presently a tall waiter in dress-clothes appeared, and said, "Jelly? Yes, sir, immediately, sir; would you like, sir, Maraschino, sir, or Portovino, sir?" Tomlinson gazed at him gloomily, wondering if he would take five dollars. "What does the doctor say is wrong with Fred?" asked Tomlinson, when the waiter had gone. "He don't just say," said mother; "he said he must keep very quiet.
