As he looked at his sister's charming, youthful face, and saw her sitting there in her handsome street dress with its various little indications of wealth and fashion the gold-meshed purse on its slender chain, the rare jewel in the brooch at the throat, the flashing rings on the white hands he drew in his breath in an incredulous little whistle. "Is it really you, Sis?" he said.
Suddenly Ursula opened her gold-meshed bag and snatched a miniature diary from it. "But wait a moment yes, it is next week! I knew it was next week he's coming to Ruan! But, you darling, that makes everything all right.
As Robinette entered the door of the Manor House she took out her little gold-meshed purse and handed Mark Lavendar a penny. "It's none too much," she said, meeting his astonished gaze with a smile.

She selected the table next to ours, and dropped into a seat, her attenuated form sharply at right angles, like a half-closed jack-knife.

She was wearing a blue and white silk gown with a handsome fur over her shoulders and a cluster of purple heron feathers on top of her wide hat. The black hand-bag that had always accompanied her on her journeys had been replaced by a gold-meshed one of showy richness, Australian gold of a greenish tone like an overlay of Florentine bronze.
