Madame went about in public, and with the Court, in her half-mourning, under pretence that being with the King, and living under his roof, she was of the family. But her conduct was not the less thought strange in spite of this excuse.
Friday was then about fourteen feet high to the bill of him, with a big, broad head like the end of a pickaxe, and two huge brown eyes with yellow rims, set together like a man's not out of sight of each other like a hen's. His plumage was fine none of the half-mourning style of your ostrich more like a cassowary as far as colour and texture go.
But no; neither of them had, it was evident, seen my ladies in half-mourning, about whom I was diffident of inquiring directly. Were any fresh people coming to reside in the neighbourhood that they had heard of? "No," said Lady Dasher, with a melancholy shake of her head. "No; how should they? It is not very likely that any new residents would come here!
He shook hands with the engine-driver without further comment, however, and walked out into the commonplace little street under Parkinson's unobtrusive guidance. "Very nice of Miss Hutchins to go into half-mourning, Parkinson," he remarked as they went along. "Thoughtful, and yet not ostentatious." "Yes, sir," agreed Parkinson, who had long ceased to wonder at his master's perceptions.
The only attempt at decoration was the displayed wings and breasts of the wood and harlequin duck, the muir, the cormorant, the gull, the gannet, and the femininely delicate half-mourning of petrel and plover, nailed against the wall.

It is possible that Miss Lindsay shared their views, but if so she made no sign, and on the many occasions on which she met Mr. Barrett on her way to and from school greeted him with frank cordiality. Even when he referred to his loneliness, which he did frequently, she made no comment. He went into half-mourning at the end of two months, and a month later bore no outward signs of his loss.
They can't kill France, and Rheims is the very spirit and youth of France." Not one of us spoke another word until we drove into the town, and began exclaiming with horror and rage at what Attila II has done to the streets. The mist had fallen again, not white in the town, but a pale, sad gray, like a mantle of half-mourning.
For she was still in half-mourning for her father, the late Lord Fallowfeild, who had died some eighteen months previously at a very venerable age, and with a touching modesty as though his advent in another world might savour of intrusion. He had always been a humble-minded man. He remained so to the last. The windows stood open to the balcony.
His gaze into the lighted chapel made what had been an evening scene when he looked away from the landscape night itself on looking back; but he could see enough to discover that a brougham had driven up to the side-door used by the young water-bearers, and that a lady in white-and-black half-mourning was in the act of alighting, followed by what appeared to be a waiting-woman carrying wraps.
To add another handful to the cypress and wormwood already scattered amongst these polite colonists, they had just received orders from the Court of Janeiro to put on deep mourning for six months, and half-mourning for as many more, on account of the death of the queen of Portugal. About a day's journey in the interior is the celebrated national plantation.
