Flanders would have flounced upon her only it was Jacob who came first, in his dressing-gown, amiable, authoritative, beautifully healthy, like a baby after an airing, with an eye clear as running water. Florinda followed, lazily stretching; yawning a little; arranging her hair at the looking-glass while Jacob read his mother's letter.
The rug had been drawn back to show the crew what had happened. I drew it reverently over the body again. After the men had gone, I knocked at Mrs. Turner's door. It was some time before she roused; when she answered, her voice was startled. "What is it?" "It's Leslie, Mrs. Turner. Will you come to the door?" "In a moment." She threw on a dressing-gown, and opened the door. "What is wrong?"
It was one of the most shattering shocks of all his career, which nevertheless had not been untumultuous. And within his dressing-gown which nobody remarked upon he was busy picking up and piecing together, as quickly as he could, the shivered fragments of his ideas. He literally did not recognize Rose Euclid. True, fifteen years had passed since the night in the pit!
Wrapped in a dressing-gown, with bare feet, her face pale, her eyelids red, her complexion clouded, she rushed to meet her friend, who was almost as much disordered as herself. It seemed as if Madame de Talbrun might also have passed a night of sleeplessness and tears. "You have come!

He had a cigarette between his lips, but this he removed with a flicker of humour as he observed her glance. "Caught in the act," he remarked. "Please come in!"
During the entire journey I sat with my handkerchief over my head, even while the guard collected the tickets. Exhausted!"

We were formally introduced.
Drawing his dressing-gown closely around her, Regina sat down near the bedside; and as she felt the pleasant warmth of the pearl-grey merino, and detected the faint odour of cigar smoke in its folds, she involuntarily pressed her lips to the garment that seemed almost a part of its owner.
