He noticed another door, curiously opened it, and started back at the sight of a small room, and eight middle-aged men, mostly hatted, playing cards in two groups. They had the air of conspirators, but they were merely some of the finest solo-whist players in Bursley. Denry shut the door quickly.
What had told in any case at the window of the train was her high clear forehead, that forehead which her friends, for some reason, always thought of as a "brow"; the long reach of her eyes it came out at this juncture in such a manner as to remind him, oddly enough, also of that of Waymarsh's; and the unusual gloss of her dark hair, dressed and hatted, after her mother's refined example, with such an avoidance of extremes that it was always spoken of at Woollett as "their own."
A few moments later the dainty girlish figure came out again, gloved and hatted. Aunt Em followed it to the door. "Walk slowly, dear just measure your steps! And be sure to take the car at the corner. Perhaps you can bring Uncle Walter back with you." It was only Gloria who called him Uncle Em. He was not really uncle anyway to Gloria, being merely her kind, good-natured, easily-coaxed guardian.
When it really was time to leave for the railroad station and Galusha, NOT wearing the earlapped cap, but hatted and garbed as became his rank and dignity, was standing on the stone step by the outside door, she said: "Now do be careful, Mr. Bangs." "Yes yes, I will, I promise you. I shall keep one hand in my pocket, holding the pocketbook with the certificate in it, until I get to the office.
Hatted, and with a fur coat over her arm, she opened it. "Are you taking Fanny?" said Duncan, icily. Fanny, the maid, middle-aged, loyal, could be trusted with the honor of the Coppereds. "Heavens, no!" said Mrs. Coppered, vigorously. "Then I hope you will not object to my escort," said the boy, flushing. If he meant it for reproach, it missed its mark. Mrs.
That's eleven or fourteen dollars, isn't it, Dad?" "That's fifty dollars, goose!" said her father making a dot with the pencil on the tip of her upturned little nose. "Oo!" said Teresa, awed. Hatted, furred, and muffed, she leaned on her father's shoulder. "Oo Dad!" whispered Alanna, with scarlet cheeks. "So NOW!" said her mother, with a little nod of encouragement and warning.
Then he finished, and stood up, just as there slid cautiously upwards, like a whale coming up to breathe, past the window by which the Cardinal was now standing cloaked and hatted, first a shining roof, then a row of little ventilators, and finally a line of windows against which a dozen faces were pressed. He saw them begin to stir as the scarlet of the Cardinal met their eyes.
She answered the door hatted; hatted in henna, that being the season's chosen colour. A small dark foyer, overcrowded with furniture; a studio living-room, bright, high-ceilinged, smallish; one entire side was window.
For a man of business taking holidays, when a lady craves for gossip, disappointed her faith in him as cruelly as the shut-up, empty inn the broken hunter knocking at a hollow door miles off home. Mr. Abner, hatted and gloved and smiling, came forth. "Going out, the man meant, Lady Charlotte. At your service for five minutes."
Later, he had to attend a couple of board meetings, which ran off into protracted by-talk, and the rainy twilight had fallen before his office knew him again. Not long after, Queed, already hatted and overcoated to go, pushed open the connecting door and entered. The two chatted a moment of the make-up of next day's "page." Presently West said: "By the bye, written anything about the reformatory?"
