Esmeralda presented Bridgie with a card of hat-pins; Bridgie had knitted woollen gloves for the boys, and the most exciting presentations were those which Mademoiselle had thoughtfully brought with her dainty lace ties for the sisters, which were received with a rapture almost too great for words, and the grey Suede gloves which were Jack's happy inspiration.
The orderlies left without my seeing when they went." "Ah," interrupted Rouletabille, "before she arrives, give me all her hat-pins." "What!" "I say, all her hat-pins. Quickly!" Matrena ran to Natacha's chamber and returned with three enormous hat-pins with beautifully-cut stones in them. "These are all?" "They are all I have found. I know she has two others.
And Arvilly sez, "She had better hurry up before her poor are all starved or friz; but as it is," sez she, "her statesmen are votin' on wimmen's hat-pins whilst Justice lays flat with her stillyards on top of her and Pity and Mercy have wep' themselves sick."
When I came on board I decided to marry Arthur, and have done with the pother. Now I am at the same place as when I left home. I don't want to marry anybody. Have you noticed that fellow Craig?" "What will you do if he speaks?" "I have half a dozen good hat-pins left," dryly. "I hate to hear you talk like that." "It's the East. . . . There goes that hateful gong again.
I myself can assure you that the Switzerland was limping along like a lame duck at 8 A.M. to-day." "Ah, thank Heaven for that small mercy!" murmured the girl. For a few seconds she busied herself with gloves, veil, and hat-pins, and Curtis happened to glance at the overcoat, which he had placed over the back of a chair.
It won't be dear little Claire Gifford any more, it will be the horrible future Mrs Robert Judge!" She stuck hat-pins through the straw hat with savage energy; for once in her life noticed with distinct satisfaction that it was secured at an unbecoming angle, then, hearing through the jalousies the sound of approaching wheels, marched resolutely forth to meet her fate...
She turned round, still manipulating hat-pins with raised hands, and in answer to the unspoken question in her guests' faces, nodded sadly. "Yes," she said. "But they've got his body. She's going to Newcastle." "Have you had any news yourself?" asked Betty. "We have heard nothing." "No," replied their hostess. "Nothing, except that the hospital ships went out last night.
Lamson knew everybody in the county. "Nothing here," taking off his spectacles conclusively. "I didn't think there was," said the other complacently. "Give me a bottle of witch hazel, a package of invisible hair-pins and a box of parlor matches. Quick; I'm in a hurry!" "Did you say hat-pins?" "No, sir; I said hair-pins." "We haven't any that ain't visible. How would safety-pins do?"
Horncastle furled her parasol and laid it aside; raised both hands to the back of her head and took two hat-pins out, which she placed in her smiling mouth; removed her hat, stuck the hat-pins in it, and handed it to Barker, who gently placed it on the top of a tall reed, where during the rest of that momentous meeting it swung and drooped like a flower; removed her gloves slowly; drank still smilingly and gratefully nearly a wineglassful of the water which Barker brought her in the green twisted chalice of a lily leaf; looked the picture of happiness, and then burst into tears.
The strain on the knee and ankle is very great in some falls, but if you let yourself go and relax your muscles as you fall, you will find that even ankles and knees survive as a rule. I once saw a really good runner turn three somersaults while nose-driving down a steep slope at high speed in soft snow. And all the damage done was two hat-pins snapped! Moral, don't wear hat-pins.
