Her simple but becoming dress a large straw hat and a white cotton gown contrasted favorably with the gorgeous apparel now worn by the little damsels of the rising generation. A colored fichu round the neck was the only ornament she wore. The young lady I am describing was the Princess Victoria, now our Gracious Sovereign."
Marfinka coloured, smoothed her hair, gave a tug to her fichu, and cast a glance in the mirror. Raisky shook his finger at her, making her colour more deeply. "The person who stayed one night here," said Vassilissa to Raisky, "is also asking for you." "Markushka?" asked Tatiana Markovna in a horrified tone. "Yes," said Vassilissa. Raisky hurried out. "How glad he is, how he rushes to meet him.
The wink was entirely by way of explanation; it was to enlighten us as to why a certain rare bottle of port a fresh one was being secreted beneath her fichu.
At the farther end of it, seated before a low tea table, was a stately, white-haired lady, very erect, very handsome and very elegantly dressed in a gown of soft black material. At the neck, which was turned away, she wore a fichu of filmy lace tinted by time to a creamy tone and held in place by an old-fashioned medallion of seed pearls.
The postilion offered a ten sols billet, which the landlady refused: one persisted in its validity, the other in rejecting it till, at last, the patriotism of neither could endure this proof, and peace was concluded by a joint execration of those who invented this fichu papier "Sorry paper."

She looked like a vision of spring, a grateful vision for a sick room. When Holt tapped on her door on his way out the second time, muttering characteristically: "Coast clear.
She knelt down, threw back her fichu, and for a long time applied a handkerchief to her face a handkerchief which she had soaked with the miraculous fluid like a sponge; and the crowd around rushed upon the fountain in such fury that folks no longer noticed her diseased face, but washed themselves and drank from the same pipe at which she constantly moistened her handkerchief.
"Here, sir," said he, "are my papers. Will you be pleased to verify?" But the Commissary was now intent upon dinner. "No use," he replied, "no use; I am busy; I am quite satisfied. Give your entertainment." And he hurried on. "Fichu Commissaire!" thought Léon. The audience was pretty large; and the proprietor of the café made a good thing of it in beer.
I sha'n't be able to eat a bite. It's as much as I can do to sit still, much less move about. I'll put on a fichu, and then I can leave some hooks unfastened, to give myself a little air."
