And Ali rows to the liners and goes on board to sell rubies made of glass, and thin suits for the tropics and ivory napkin rings, and Manchester kimonos, and little lovely shells; and the passengers abuse him because of his prices; and yet they should not, for all the money cheated by Ali Kareeb Ahash goes to Boob Aheera, his master. It was dead of night and midwinter.
No Katy was there with her affectionate, confectionate kiss. The three rooms seemed in portentous disorder. All about lay her things in confusion. Shoes in the middle of the floor, curling tongs, hair bows, kimonos, powder box, jumbled together on dresser and chairs this was not Katy's way. With a sinking heart John saw the comb with a curling cloud of her brown hair among its teeth.
And there were also the geisha dances and the nesans running up stairs and down with their little white socks and flowery skirts, carrying refreshments. There were also men in kimonos and cowboy hats, the former to give the Japanese color and the latter to inform customers that the American trade was catered to!
We found her reading about Syria in the encyclopaedia, while spread round her on chairs and tables were numbers of silk kimonos, rolls of crocheted lace, shirt-waist patterns, and embroidered linens. Hannah let us in. She looked surly and had a bandage round her head, a sure sign of trouble Hannah always referring a pain in her temper to her ear or her head or her teeth.
"Oh, you MUST!" exclaimed Kenneth, who couldn't help taking things seriously. "You two girls are the only bright spots in this whole business!" "Thank you," and Patty smiled at him, as she and Marie went away. "Come into my room," said Patty, "and let's talk this thing over." Soon the two girls, in kimonos, were sitting either side of the cheerful wood fire, discussing the outlook.
A party of moosmes tripping along to a feast or a fair looks like a bed of brilliant flowers set in motion. They wear kimonos of rich silks and bright shades, kimonos of vermilion and gold, of pink, of blue, of white, decorated with lovely designs of apple-blossom, of silk crape in luminous greens and golden browns, every shade of the rainbow being employed, but all in harmony and perfect taste.
There was a chorus of tittering and squeaking voices in the corridor. The partition slid open, and six little women came running into the room. "Patasan San! Patasan San!" they cried, clapping their hands. Here at last were the butterfly women of the traveller's imagination. They wore bright kimonos, red and blue, embroidered with gold thread.
I can't tell you what we talked about, because sometimes well, it was atrociously risqué as women will, you know, and " "At a quarter before twelve you were still sitting up talking, and you had your kimonos on?" "Yes, and oh, you just ought to see Hazel's new kimono pink crêpe de chine, trimmed with satin. She looks simply ravishing in it. I told Sis I wanted one like it, but "
The young girls dress in kimonos of wool muslin of the brightest colors and designs which are conceivable even to the Japanese imagination. They look like a very profusely blooming garden of old fashioned perennials. The garden is indescribable. I had some fancy of what a Japanese garden would look like, but find it is nothing at all beside the reality.
A charming country, so quaint, so original, so picturesque, such a place to relax in; and then the Japanese girls, the little mousmés, in their bright kimonos, who came fluttering round like little butterflies, who were so gentle and soft and grateful; but there! Captain Barrington was a married man, that was no affair of his. Ha! Ha!
