So silently had the horse of Caius moved in the muffling snow that, coming up on the other side, he was able to look at the lady for one full moment before she saw him, and in that moment and the next he saw that the sight of him robbed her face of the peace which had been written there. She was wrapped as usual in her fur-lined cloak and hood.
"No, I guess he'll be right along when his work's through." "And his work?" The girl's tone was one of relief. Murray's confidence was infectious in spite of her instinctive fears. The man shrugged his fleshy shoulders under his fur-lined pea-jacket. "Trade, I guess. We're not here for health.
And he flung himself into the chair, drawing his fur-lined coat about him. "Let me hear from you!" he snapped. Minee, the unfrocked bishop, preserving still a certain episcopal portliness of figure, a certain episcopal oiliness of speech, respectfully implored the representative to be more precise. The invitation flung him into a passion. His irascibility, indeed, deserved to become a byword.
No doubt the woolly sheep of Astrakhan do wear their coats in these little heaven-sent ringlets. But ... well ... "I do not like thee, Doctor Fell."

In place-of this article I would write an ode to a fur-lined coat.
The heavy sleeping-bags would have made our progress, encumbered as we were with our fur coats, too slow; but I had hopes that we would reach the trappers' huts that afternoon, and so decided to discard them in favour of the fur-lined sleigh-rug, which would, at least, keep Jacqueline warm.

She fastened it at the neck and then turned to the fire for a moment before leaving. 'Rufus, she said gravely, after a moment's pause, and looking down at the coals, 'you're an angel.
Finally Peter gathered up the fur-lined coat, the velours hat, gloves, and stick, and placed them on the piano in front of the younger man. "I'm sorry you must go," said Peter calmly, "but, as you say, Miss Wells is tired and there is supper to be eaten. Don't let me hurry you." The Portier was at the door as McLean, laughing and protesting, went out. He brought a cablegram for Anna.
Winds and waves, however, had no disturbing effect on the mental or physical balance of Amadis de Jocelyn, who, wrapped in a comfortable fur-lined overcoat, sat in a sheltered corner on the deck of the Calais boat, smoking a good cigar and congratulating himself on the ease with which he had slipped out of what threatened to have been a very unpleasant and embarrassing entanglement.
No one, I think, would deny that it would be a service if the woman of fashion ceased to drape fur here, there and everywhere on her gowns except where she might really need the thick pelt to keep her warm, and instead saved the price of the garment which serves no purpose but that of display, and gave the money in Liberty Bonds to buy a fur-lined coat for some soldier, or food for a starving baby abroad.
