He was partially dressed when he paused to listen, sure that he heard the murmur of excited voices coming from the store below. He threw a white flannel dressing gown about him with facings of pale blue silk, and cord and tassel of the same delicate hue, bearing evidence of its being a relic of better days.
To Darius, to Bursley in general, it was just a nice house, of red brick with terra-cotta facings and red tiles, in the second-Victorian Style, the style that had broken away from Georgian austerity and first-Victorian stucco and smugness, and wandered off vaguely into nothing in particular. To the plebeian in Darius it was of course grandiose, and vast; to Edwin also, in a less degree.
In ascending to her own chamber, Bathsheba opened the girl's door an inch or two, and, panting, said "Liddy, is any soldier staying in the village sergeant somebody rather gentlemanly for a sergeant, and good looking a red coat with blue facings?" "No, miss ... No, I say; but really it might be Sergeant Troy home on furlough, though I have not seen him.
The house itself, more than three hundred years old, is of dark red brick with facings of stone, long since worn by wind and weather. The windows are enormous, and would appear abnormal in any other city but this. The Hotel of the Old Shooting gallery stands on the Toornoifeld and the unobservant may pass by without distinguishing it from the private houses on either side.
And there recurred to him the conversation he overheard at the monastery, when one said, "and once Sir John gets to this country." But nay; his very last words in his own waistcoat pocket? So he spoke out disdainfully, "And thou dost embroider thy facings with dead men's autographs?" "They are the better preserved, my lord," said the Duke, with a smile.
As long as you're on the square, there ain't nothing I won't do. I ain't a-blaming you, only stick to her." "Damn it all!" said Ralph, turning round again in the other direction. But there was Neefit still confronting him. "Only stick to her, Captain, and we'll pull through. I'll put her through her facings to-night.
The Eumenes does not resort to this general coating: her building is too strong to need it; she leaves the pebbly facings uncovered, as well as the entrances to the cells. The two sorts of nests, although constructed of similar materials, are therefore easily distinguished. The Eumenes' cupola is the work of an artist; and the artist would be sorry to cover his masterpiece with whitewash.
I wanted to turn in my saddle and cry to her that beneath the flannel facings at which she laughed these men wore deep, uncared-for, festering wounds; that to march thus through the streets of this tiny Capital they had waded waist-high through rivers, had starved in fever camps, and at any hour when I had called on them had run forward to throw cold hands with death.
If men are to be fools, I would rather they were fools in little matters than in great; dulness turned up with temerity is a livery all the worse for the facings; and the most tremendous of all things is the magnanimity of the dunce.
This was the red facings of the chief of police's coat, which were polished equally with his collar, and resembled varnished leather on the edges. Ivan Ivanovitch thought to himself, "It's not bad that Peter Feodorovitch has come to talk it over with me."
