In some countries such a creature may be considered an acquisition, and so long as he reigned at the Wells, people made the best they could of him, though it was painfully apparent to the livery-stable keepers, and others, who had the best interest of the place at heart, that such a red-faced, gloveless, drab-breeched, mahogany-booted buffer, who would throw off at the right time, and who resolutely set his great stubbly-cheeked face against all show meets and social intercourse in the field, was not exactly the man for a civilized place.
But one important detail I have omitted from my description of the sleeper. Her left hand lay gloveless, and of the four rings on her third finger one was a wedding-ring. "Such red hair, and a wedding-ring!" I exclaimed inwardly. "How this woman must have suffered!"
For a moment the new-comer hesitated, looking about her. Then she came towards me. "Oh," she said. "I want to choose a bath." For an instant I looked at her. Then I remembered that I was hatless, stickless, gloveless. I bowed. "Certainly, madam. What sort of bath do you require?" She was looking at me now narrowly rather. Quickly she swung round and glanced about the great hall.
"Why what's she got on?" The Story Girl joined us with a quizzical smile on her face. Dan whistled. Cecily's pale cheeks flushed with understanding and gratitude. The Story Girl wore her school print dress and hat also, and was gloveless and heavy shod. "You're not going to have to go through this all alone, Cecily," she said.

"What shall I show you, sir?" "I wish to speak to Mr. Morton. Which is he?" "Mr. Morton is engaged, sir. I can give you what you want." "No it is a matter of business important business." The boy eyed the napless and dripping hat, the gloveless hands, and the rusty neckcloth of the speaker; and said, as he passed his fingers through a profusion of light curls "Mr.

It was the real moment of separation for her.
It was the one supreme moment of their life and their love. Time passed uncounted.... Then interruption came, suddenly and tragically. Without knock or ring, the door was flung open and slammed again. Beatrice stood there, still in her shabby clothes, her veil pushed back, gloveless and breathless. Her clenched hand flew out towards Philip as though she would have struck him.
They say that he has no right to annoy other people by his whims; that the gentleman to whom his letter comes with no "Esq." appended to the address, and the lady whose evening party he enters with gloveless hands, are vexed at what they consider his want of respect, or want of breeding; that thus his eccentricities cannot be indulged save at the expense of his neighbours' feelings; and that hence his nonconformity is in plain terms selfishness.
