She was a tall, handsome girl, from what he could judge of her half-sitting figure in her torn silk dust-cloak, which, although its cape and one sleeve were split into ribbons, had still protected her delicate, well-fitting gown beneath. She was evidently a lady. "What is it? what has happened?" she said faintly, yet with a slight touch of formality in her manner.
An eager attendant rushed forward to relieve her of the dust-cloak and parasol which she was carrying. "Does Madame wish to go straight to the Room of the Games?" he inquired eagerly. Sylvia bent her head. It was there, or so she supposed, that Anna would be.
But at this point he fairly ran into the arms of a woman, in alpaca dust-cloak and shikarri helmet; a woman who clutched his left arm with both hands: and before he could collect his scattered senses, Quita's voice was in his ears. "Oh, Captain Desmond . . tell me . . is he . . . ?"
There were people dotted all about and they stared, but they touched their hats to the gentleman, and he returned their salute with stern politeness. Inside the tent with "Esmeralda, &c.," outside there was a lady in a hat and dust-cloak. But we could see her spangles under the cloak. "Now," said the gentleman to Dicky, "you stand at the door and let people in, one at a time.
"How could I?" Aunt Emma answered, looking back at me appealingly. "The circumstances were too suspicious. As it was, everybody was running after the young man in knickerbockers. Nobody took any notice of a little old lady in a long grey dust-cloak.

The wind had moulded her light-colored veil close to her half-defined features, to the outline of her cheeks and low-knotted hair; her form, which was youthful and slender, was swathed in a clinging raw-silk dust-cloak.
Her mother remained standing. The dust-cloak lived in Kensington, it informed Mavis, "which was so convenient for the West End: it was only an hour's 'bus ride from town." "Less than that," said Mavis to the dust-cloak. "I have known it to take fifty-five minutes when it hasn't been stopped by funerals," declared Mrs Perkins. Mavis looked at the dust-cloak in surprise.
Therewith he coiled the tube of his narghîleh carefully around the bowl thereof, and, rising with the same deliberation, threw upon his shoulders a white dust-cloak, then looked at me, and questioned: 'Are you ready? 'But I do not know the judge. 'No more do I. But that, my dear, is a disease which can be remedied. Without much trouble we found out the judge's house.
Armine at first stood perfectly still looking at the monster. Then she made Nigel a sign to spread her dust-cloak upon the ridge of the sand, and she sat down on it, and looked again. She did not speak. The pallor of the twilight began to grow dusky, as if into its yellow grey and grey white, from some invisible source a shadowy black was filtering.
Medenham, standing by the side of the car, was deep in the contours of a road map of Sussex when a sweet if somewhat petulant voice, apparently at his elbow, complained that its owner could not see Simmonds anywhere. He turned instantly. A slim, straight-figured girl, wearing a dust-cloak and motor veil, had come out from the Savoy Court doorway and was scrutinizing every automobile in sight.
