COAT There should be two coats, an undercoat and an overcoat; the one a soft fluffy undercoat, the other a long, perfectly straight coat, harsh in texture, covering the whole of the body, being very abundant round the neck and fore part of the shoulders and chest where it should form a frill of profuse standing off straight hair, extending over the shoulders.
She was so surrounded in America by men who knew her wealth and prized her beauty, she was so much a figure in Virginia, that any reserve with regard to herself was noticeable. She was enough feminine to have pleasure in the fact that she was thought desirable by men; yet it played an insignificant part in her life. It did not give her conceit. It was only like a frill on the skirts of life.
Her sister slowly turned back the frill from her wrist and examined the scarlet stain of Bernard's finger-print. "Does it show so plainly? I hope other people haven't noticed. Bernard doesn't remember how strong his hands still are." "Doesn't care, you mean." "Do you want me quite naked?" said Laura. "Well, doesn't care, then." Yvonne was not accustomed to the smart of pity.
Just the edge of her wavy light-brown hair could be seen under the frill of the hood, with lines of gold upon it painted by the sun. She laughed and talked gayly as our horses climbed the hills. I thought, as I rode by their side, how happy we all were, and how beautiful was she this flower plucked from the rapine and massacre of the Old War!
'Well, but, my dear, you couldn't possibly sit down without him, observed Mrs. Jog mildly. 'Possibly! 'There's no possibly in the matter, retorted he, blowing more furiously into the frill. Mrs. Jog was silent. 'Well, but, my dear, you know hunters are always allowed a little law, observed Mrs. Jog. 'Law! 'I never want any law, thinking of Smiler v. Jogglebury.
Her face is almost hidden under a voluminous frill, made of innumerable rows of lace, crimped with a crimping-iron, and her crown, half a yard in height, surrounded by golden rays, looks like a hideous catafalque erected over her head. Of the same material, and embroidered in the same manner, are the trousers of the Infant Jesus.
Hazel Hastings was simply sumptuous in the tonneau she had spread every available frill and flounce, but there was still plenty of unoccupied space on the luxuriously cushioned "throne." It seemed a pity to passers-by that two girls should ride alone on that splendid morning in the handsome machine so many of those afoot would have been glad of a chance to occupy the empty seats.
"Would you tell a body," says the cock that was perched on the ass's head, "who was it that opened the door for the robbers the other night?" Ah! maybe the porter's red face didn't turn the colour of his frill, and the Lord of Dunlavin and his pretty daughter, that were standing at the parlour window unknownst to the porter, put out their heads.
"Aside from his insisting on cooking breakfast every morning and feeding me in bed, forcing me to eat fried eggs and sour-dough hotcakes swimming in butter and honey when I crave grapefruit and thin toast and one French lamb chop with a white paper frill on the handle and garnished with fresh parsley he's the soul of consideration.
The fat of this meat is like mutton, apt to cool soon, and become hard and disagreeable to the palate; it should, therefore, be served always on warm plates, and the platter kept over a hot-water dish, or spirit lamp. Many cooks dish it up with a white paper frill pinned around the knuckle bone. A haunch of mutton is carved the same as a haunch of venison.
