Let me see thy callimanco shoes. Thee knows that I may not wear these others." The storekeeper brought the plainest footgear that his stock afforded. "They are of a very small size, perhaps too small. Had you not better try them ere you buy? I could get a larger pair from Mr. Carter's store." Truelove seated herself upon a convenient stool, and lifted her gray skirt an inch above a slender ankle.
She is altogether satisfying to the lover of fantastic Oriental costumes, except in the matter of footgear, and this slight exception might be allowed, for she has so amply decorated every other available part of her anatomy. Moreover, the boots form a very necessary adjunct to her personal equipment, besides providing a covering for her feet.
Even while madame was speaking, Jean was opening the great front doors to those who proved formal introductions being duly effect by Mr. Whitaker Monk, of New York. These personages were really not at all in a bad way. Their wraps were well peppered with rain, they were chilly, the footgear of madame la comtesse was wet and needed changing.

Russian ingenuity, boasted the Kremlin, would succeed in conquering the grass where the decadent imperialists had failed.
How if suddenly a book were to make its appearance in the world bearing the title of "The Poetical Works of Makar Dievushkin"? What THEN, my angel? How should you view, should you receive, such an event? To think that the great writer Dievushkin should walk about in patched footgear!
