My beautiful book was gone too ravished from my grasp by the dressy lady, who joined in the outburst of denunciation as heartily as if she had been a relative and naught was left me but to blubber dismally, awakened of a sudden to the harshness of real things and the unnumbered hostilities of the actual world.

We astonished them with such eccentricities of dress as we could muster.
