As she uttered this exclamation, the grandmother laid her spectacles on a little work-table, shook her skirts, and clasped her hands on her knees, raised by a foot-warmer, her favorite pedestal. "But, mother, all artists are obliged to have models." "He took good care not to tell us that when he asked leave to marry you.
"A suit of clothes gets to be an emergency-case mighty often if it lasts three years." "Going up to Harlem to-day, T. T.?" his neighbor at table asked him as he sat down to breakfast. "Right there," he answered. "I've ordered the limousine round, with the foot-warmer and fur rugs." "I guess a day wouldn't really matter much," said Mrs. Bowse, good- naturedly.
On the contrary, Hester was quite warm, thanks. Bishop, foot-warmer, etc. "You are looking much stronger." Hester felt much stronger. Certainly married people grew very much alike by living together. Mr. Gresley hesitated. He never saw the difficulties entailed by any action until they were actually upon him. He had had no idea he would find it wellnigh impossible to open a certain subject.
Her walk reminded one of a storm, as she swayed about, and her head, which was always covered with an enormous white cap, whose ribbons fluttered down her back, seemed to traverse the horizon from north to south and from south to north, at each step. I adored Mother Clochette. As soon as I was up I went into the linen-room where I found her installed at work, with a foot-warmer under her feet.
On seeing Monsieur Jules this particular portress, holding her knitting in one hand, took a knife and stirred the half-extinguished peat in her foot-warmer; then she said: "You want Madame Etienne; do you mean Madame Etienne Gruget?" "Yes," said Jules, assuming a vexed air. "Who makes trimmings?" "Yes."
There is no occasion upon which this precious element of talkability comes out stronger than when we are on a journey. Travel with a cheerless and easily discouraged companion is an unadulterated misery. But a cheerful comrade is better than a waterproof coat and a foot-warmer.
It is intolerable; I no longer have any feeling in my right foot; I would pay that woman for her foot-warmer 'I bow my head in the dust under the weight of repentance, and of........" "Ah! Madame de P. has finished; she is as red as the comb of a turkey-cock." Four ladies rush forward with pious ardor to take her place. "Ah! Madame, do not push so, I beg of you."
But, one evening, when she returned home after an errand, she met M. Boupart's coach in front of the door; M. Boupart himself was standing in the vestibule and Madame Aubain was tying the strings of her bonnet. "Give me my foot-warmer, my purse and my gloves; and be quick about it," she said. Virginia had congestion of the lungs; perhaps it was desperate.
As soon as I arrived, she made me take the foot-warmer and sit upon it, so that I might not catch cold in that large, chilly room under the roof. "That draws the blood from your throat," she said to me.
Alec had her on the sofa rolled up in the bear-skin coat, with Phebe rubbing her cold feet while he rubbed the aching hands, and Aunt Plenty made a comfortable hot drink, and Aunt Peace sent down her own foot-warmer and embroidered blanket "for the dear." Full of remorseful tenderness, Uncle Alec worked over his new patient till she declared she was all right again.
