"It's no joke to have aroused an energy like the Rajah's, and I can see myself worked to a shadow. Please forgive my get-up, Miss Cary, but this isn't an official call. I only wanted to fetch Stafford." "I'm afraid you can't," Mrs. Cary put in. "We have engaged the poor exhausted man to tea, and you are strictly forbidden to worry him with your tiresome business.
It's a fine morning, and I thought you would be the better of my company." "That's a good girl!" cried the Major cheerily; then his brow puckered, and he stared uneasily at the untidy figure. He was so unnoticing about clothes that it required a good deal to attract his attention, but surely there was something wrong about the girl's get-up to-day?
There—now you won’t take cold, Aunt Mary." The cap, with its fore-piece, was the crowning glory of Aunt Mary’s get-up. The brain measurements of him who had bought the cap being to its present wearer’s as five is to three, the effect of its proportions, in addition to the goggles and the ear-trumpet, was such as to have overawed a survivor of Medusa’s stare.
A man precisely dressed, something of a fop, with just a note of the "sport" in his get-up; a man to fear, a man cool, wary and dangerous Maxim Waldron, in fact, the Billionaire's right-hand man and confidant. Waldron, for some time affianced to his eldest daughter.
"Maybe it ain't so hard when you've got some get-up and go," Hannah retorted rather cruelly. It was thus characteristically and with unintentional sharpness she expressed her maternal pride by a reflection not only upon Edward, but Lise also. Janet had grown warm at the mention of Ditmar's name.
"I can't bear to have you see me in the ridiculous get-up Lady Turnour is making me wear, that's the selfish part of my reason and and it will be so horrid for you, in every way." "I'm callous to anything they can do now, except one thing." "What?" "If you don't know already, I mean where you're concerned." "You're very kind to me." "Kind?
Did you ever see such a get-up?" "It's marvellous. I thought she was a grand duchess." "That's what SHE thinks, if airs count for anything. I think she's a freak." "I suppose she was good-looking in her day," remarked his hostess's husband, appraising the grande dame with calculating eyes. "Do you think they're real?" asked Corky, and his hostess said she thought they were.
And as for having you show yourself on this lawn in a get-up that would set every dog in Clematis to barking, I won't. Go up-stairs and dress like somebody beside a Fiji islander, but first give your feet and legs a good rubbing. If you don't, the next thing you know, you'll be down with pneumonia."
This, the Hyde Park of Batavia, is where the beauty and fashion of the capital take the air in the cool of the day. The effect of this get-up was somewhat marred by his mount a Deli pony so small that it took the rider all his time to keep his feet from dragging along the ground. We left the next day at 11.30 a.m., by train, for Buitenzorg.
On this particular day, in spite of his garish "get-up," he seemed to belong to the life in which he was lightheartedly whistling a solo from one of Meyerbeer's operas. Meyerbeer was certainly incongruous to the prairie, but it and the whistling were in keeping with the man himself.
