Among these was a young lady, apparently about nineteen, in a tight-fitting basque of black velvet, which showed her elegant figure to fine advantage, a skirt of garnet silk, looped up over a pretty Balmoral, and the daintiest imaginable pair of kid walking-boots.
"And now," said Garnet, who had listened with attention to the dialogue, "since thy last words have banished from my mind the anxiety called forth by the recital of thy fair daughter's illness, we may again turn our thoughts toward other matters, and listen to good Catesby here." "As thou knowest," began Catesby, "it hath ever been my desire to act quickly.
The Garnet "look," indeed, though based upon a strong family resemblance, was nothing more than the restless, preoccupied expression of an inflamed sense of importance. The father was a Democrat, in the sense that other men were doctors or lawyers. He scratched up some sort of poor living for his family behind office windows inscribed with the words "Real Estate.

"I was young and didn't know any better." "But later on, you " "I wanted the largest size." "D'd you ever cry for a brother of the largest size?" "Why, yes; I nearly cry for one yet, sometimes, when somebody makes me mad." "Miss Garnet, I'm your candidate!" "No, Mr. March.

"The ruby, the garnet, the aqua-marine; are they speechless?" "No," replied Durtal. "The ruby speaks of tranquility and patience; the garnet, Innocent III. tells us, symbolizes charity.
