Dost thou not hear me? Am I to be disobeyed in my own house?" I but half took in his meaning, and stood still. The next moment he seized me by the lapels of my coat, and, spinning me round like a child, pushed me from him. I fell into the great Penn chair he had turned from the table when he rose. He threw open the door, and I saw him walk quickly down the hall and out into the orchard garden.
I wore my soft satin without any ornaments, and my husband merely put scarlet facings on the lapels of his evening coat, but Alma was clad in a gorgeous dress of old gold, with Oriental skirts which showed her limbs in front but had a long train behind, and made her look like a great vampire bat.
He was a ruddy, tubby little man in a pin-check black and white suit, faced with silk on lapels and pockets it really gave him a sort of minstrel-like appearance as though he should likewise have had his face corked and he wore in a puffed maroon scarf a stone that flashed enough for half a dozen ordinary diamonds whether it really was of the first water or not.
He took his little Flintwinch, with fierce playfulness, by the two lapels of his coat, and cried: 'To the Devil with the Market, to the Devil with the Pigs, and to the Devil with the Pig-Driver! Now! Give me the answer to my letter. 'If you can make it convenient to let go a moment, sir, returned Mr Flintwinch, 'I'll first hand Mr Arthur a little note that I have for him. He did so.
And then two men walked toward him two men wearing blue uniforms of a ship's Disciplinary Corps. He not only recognized their faces, but he saw the neat embroidery on the lapels. It said: Naipor. Space Captain Humbolt Reed, commander of the Naipor, looked at his Master Guesser and shook his head. "I ought to have you shot. Declassification is too good for you by far. Impersonating an Executive!
The ringing laughter which had floated up through the smoke lapels was now hushed, and only the distant howling of wolves broke the quiet of the village. But the lull between midnight and dawn was short indeed. Very early the oval-shaped door-flaps were thrust aside and many brown faces peered out of the wigwams toward the top of the highest bluff. Now the sun rose up out of the east.
The fine features bear witness to the influence of an American environment, yet suggest the intellectual Englishman of Matthew Arnold's time. The face is distinguished, ascetic, the chestnut hair lighter and thinner than my own; the side whiskers are not too obtrusive, the eyes blue-grey. There is a large black cravat crossed and held by a cameo pin, and the coat has odd, narrow lapels.
My brother Will he waiteth below, if ye please, good friends, and is quite as hungry as myself, besides having a pricked finger to boot and I lost what little we had about us, and we came through with scarce a good shirt between the two." A peal of laughter greeted him as he pulled apart the lapels of his coat and showed ruffles torn and disfigured. The speaker smiled gravely.
It started first with his shoes, which turned brown and then cracked across the toes, it extended to his hat, which sagged in its brim and became a moldy green in its crown, and now it had touched his coat lapels, his waistcoat front, his collar his rolling Lord Byron collar and his sleeve ends. The major's harmlessly pompous manner was all gone from him that night.
"Please don't!" she protested. She fondled the lapels of his coat, quite content to have his arms about her. "Why mayn't I kiss you if you're going to marry me?" Arthur demanded. She looked up at him with an air of demure primness. "You you've been eating pigeon," she told him in mock gravity, "and and your mouth is greasy!" It was two weeks later.
