"Halt all!" he said, "and tell me if in very truth I see what I see!" "Go on!" said St. Clair. "Item No. one, a pink dress of some gauzy, filmy stuff, with ruffle after ruffle around the skirt." "Correct." "Item No. two, a pink slipper made of silk, perchance, with the toe of it just showing beyond the hem of the skirt." "You observe well, my lord."
The girl began to take more notice of the sea maidens following after her. More than a dozen were in the group; all were lovely in appearance and clothed in the same gauzy robes as Merla and the Princess. These attendants did not join in the conversation but darted here and there in sportive play, and often Trot heard the tinkling chorus of their laughter.
The dense white veil that swung from the zenith became suddenly pervaded with vague shivers; then tenuous, gauzy pennants were detached, floating away in great lengths; the sun struck through from a dazzling focus in a broad, rayonnant, fibrous emblazonment of valley and range, and as she rose and went to the window to note the weather signs she could not resist the lure of escape.
All round, like the hissing of fat in the pan, is the monotonous crackle and rattle of the Mausers; but the air is full of it, and no one can define exactly whence it comes. Far away on some hill upon the skyline there hangs the least gauzy veil of thin smoke to indicate whence the six men who have just all fallen together, as if it were some grim drill, met their death.
Rugs took the place of carpet. Gauzy lace curtains hung at the windows. A canary in a gilt cage sung above an open window. Oh, plainly he was bewitched or the world was topsy-turvy! The look he turned on the girl was so helpless, so entreating that her face, which had begun to set coldly, softened instantly. The hand clasping the curtain fold fell to her side and she took a step toward him.
There is nothing to keep it up, so down it comes continually, and is always being caught up again. I never saw a train down, except once for my edification. Their hair is cut in a straight fringe across the forehead and is in little plaits hanging behind. They wear a loose veil of a gauzy nature, with which they conceal half their faces at times.
Somebody was absurd, she said; if she were certain who sent it, she would return it, and then she smiled bewitchingly over the gauzy trifle that had cost more than half a month's salary. Miss Sarah was in some measure to blame. She should have taken her nephew into her confidence.
No footprint except that of birds erratic, rectangular, scribbling dented the sand. No human being had ever visited those groves perfumed by orchids, gauzy as the wings of the butterflies which poised over them and sipped the nectar stored in their slender throats. Each bay and inlet and cove differed in delightsomeness.
In the warm, sunny days of late September, numbers of some species of ephemerae were seen on the sedges and willows, with black bodies and gauzy wings, which the dace and bleak were swallowing eagerly, in quite summer fashion. The water is now unusually clear, and as the fish come to sun themselves in the shallows every shoal can be seen. The two orchids named are very interesting plants.
Margret listened, waked reluctantly to the sense of a different pain in the world from her own, lower deeps from which women like herself draw delicately back, lifting their gauzy dresses. "Miss Marg'et!" Her face flashed. "Well, Lois?" "Th' Master has His people 'mong them very lowest, that's not for such as yoh to speak to.
