Women, in all the semi-barbaric costliness with which their sex loves to adorn itself of a night, stepped from limousines with their tiny silvery feet twinkling beneath the load of gorgeous furs and vivid opera-cloaks; while well-groomed men, in the smart insignificance of their evening clothes, guided the perilous passage of their fair consorts from the motor's step to the pavement.
The flower scents drifted to her and when her eyes glanced furtively out of the back window of the limousine she could see the procession reaching for almost a half block. All black limousines filled with faces staring in surprise at the street. And in front of the flower car in an ornamental hearse rode Mr. Sikora. The wheels of the hearse were heavily tired.
All the pretty things limousines and marble baths thinking so much of them, and not wanting them for him! And he with so little, with just nothing he that would appreciate jolly things so much here in this den, and making it as tolerable as he can and me half ashamed of him instead of fighting for him I belong with Corey and Betz. Oh, I'm so ashamed, so bitterly ashamed."
Or the sadness of the seven deadly sins where there is no movie? Or deference to his betters where the chauffeurs, in their withered leather legs, drive limousines to the drug store to buy expensive cigars, while their employers walk to the station puffing briar pipes? I had been hoping that the war would knock some of this topsy-turvy nonsense out of us. Maybe it has.
And another one lived inside this great pile of brick, he was standing across from it, by the park railing, by that time where motor cars drew up, and a footman with an umbrella against a light rain ushered to their limousines draped women and men in evening clothes, their strong blacks and whites revealed in the light of the street door.
Haven't a Pathfinder handy, have you? Never mind, there are plenty at the hotel. And if to-morrow is such another fine spring day as this, I'll run up there. I'll let you know the results later; and then, my trusty colleague, we will plot joyously for the well-being of John Wesley Pedders." "Huh!" says I. "Don't try to pull any steam yachts or French limousines on me this time.
We've cut staff, cut perks, even trimmed the fleet of federal limousines. After years of leaders whose rhetoric attacked bureaucracy but whose actions expanded it, we will actually reduce it by 252,000 people over the next five years. By the time we have finished, the federal bureaucracy will be at its lowest point in 30 years.
I expect that inside of a week you'll have the street lined with limousines and customers waitin' in line all up and down the stairs here." "True words," says Madame Zenobia. "Already I have made four appointments for this afternoon and I've raised my fee to $50." "If you can cinch 'em all the way you did Stella," says I, "it'll be as good as ownin' a Texas gusher.
"That's so," he added thoughtfully, and smiled gratefully over a fate that had been indulgent to him in a matter of fathers and limousines. "Look at the newspapers! Maybe we shall be going to war," said the manufacturer's son. "Stuff! Nonsense!" said the judge's son. "We are always having scares. They sell papers and give the fellows at the Foreign Office a chance to look unconcerned.
We stepped out to the street where the line of limousines waited for the old fellows inside, my own battleship-gray roadster, pretty well hammered but still a mighty capable machine, far down at the end. As Worth moved with me toward it, the lawyer walked at his elbow. "Seat for me?" he glanced at the car.
