"The great feats of war," said Vieuville, "require noble blood in those who perform them. These are matters for knights, and not for hairdressers." "But yet there are estimable men in this 'Third Estate," rejoined Vieuville. "Take that watchmaker, Joly, for instance. He was formerly a sergeant in a Flanders regiment; he becomes a Vendean chief and commander of a coast band.
"Well, I fail to see how that clue could have led him to me," I said, forcing a laugh. I didn't mean to let Southbourne, or any one else, guess that I knew who that hairpin had belonged to. "It didn't; it led him nowhere; though I believe he spent several days going round the West End hairdressers' shops.
The two nicest shops were Mannings' the hairdressers and Ponting's the book-shop, but Rose the grocer's, and Coulter's the confectioner's were very good. Mr. Manning was an artist.
"Dressmakers and hairdressers and dinners and bridge and the whole routine of your set," said he. "It is indeed a hard life I wonder you stand it." "Don't be ironic!" "I'm not ironic. I realized, long ago, that it's the hardest life in the world and pays the least." She flushed. "I have my charities," she reminded him. "I'm not utterly useless.
I daresay!" she went on, addressing her image in the glass; "You think it looks very pretty but that is only an 'effect, you know! It's like the advertisements the photographers do for the hairdressers; 'Hair- positively-forced-to-grow-in-six-weeks' sort of thing. Oh, what a dear old chime!"
And the bust, with its pointed mustaches extending beyond the cheeks on each side, the bust, so motionless and well groomed as to be fit for a hairdressers sign, seemed to be looking at M. Massarel with a plaster smile, a smile ineffaceable and mocking. They remained thus face to face, Napoleon on the chair, the doctor in front of him about three steps away. Suddenly the Commander grew angry.
"Yes; we are both here," ejaculated he, with a deep sigh. "Rue Neuve des Capucines, No. 46, four flights above the entresol! Ay, and in that entresol they have two spies of Fouché's police; I know them well, though they pretend to be hairdressers. I'm too much for old Fouché yet; depend upon it, Tom."
Not a week passes but the French send them a band of hairdressers, whom they would be very glad to dispense with. It is incredible what a quantity of scalps they bring us. In Virginia they have committed unheard-of cruelties, carried off families, burned a great many houses, and killed an infinity of people.
There was a battery of white manicure tables, and then the hairdressers and the artists who lay on these complexions what do you think of mine? I can't begin to tell all the secrets of the curls and puffs, and reinforcements, hygienic rolls, transformations, fluffy puffers, and all that, or of the complexions. Why, you can choose a complexion, like wall-paper or upholstery.
That smile was as provocative, as definitely full of the siren quality, as if it had dawned for the only lover, instead of for three humble Italians, "hairdressers in the daytime," as Miss Van Tuyn explained to Craven while she poured out his coffee. "I often come here," she added. "You're surprised, I can see." "I must say I am," said Craven.
