Beside her sat a tall handsome woman with a hard mouth, dressed in white linen and a picture hat, who ogled him tentatively through a lorgnon during the moment of introduction before permitting her face to relax into a smile of welcome. "So glad," she purred at last, extending a long slim hand in Markham's direction. "Phyllis, do give Mr. Markham some tea." "How d'ye do, Mr.
The General made no reply to this announcement; but took up his opera-glass the double-barrelled lorgnon was not invented in those days and pretended to examine the house; but Rebecca saw that his disengaged eye was working round in her direction, and shooting out bloodshot glances at her and George. She redoubled in cordiality. "How is dearest Amelia? But I needn't ask: how pretty she looks!
She raised a lorgnon, mounted on a tortoise-shell and silver handle, and examined the yacht with measured glance. She honored the stalwart second officer with a prolonged stare. "Is that the captain?" she said to Mr. Fenshawe, who was waiting to escort her on board. "No. That is Mr. King, the young man Irene told you about." "Oh, indeed! Rather an Apollo Belvidere, don't you think?"
How interesting so pretty and husband away. What an opportunity for some of our gay Lotharios!" "They wouldn't have much chance with Helen!" laughed Ray. Mrs. Brewster-Curtis turned, and putting up her gold lorgnon, stared at the unknown young woman who had been so bold to venture to express an opinion. Ray, meantime, was wondering what detained Dick.
"We've been at her dressmaker's and she drove me here on her way home." "I thought you looked pale," said Mrs. Ames, viewing him through the inevitable lorgnon. "Go on, tell me all about it."

And isn't the audience representative?" She beamed impartially round upon the just and the unjust through her jewelled lorgnon. Mrs. Hilliard rejoiced in her lorgnon.
These slumming parties are delightful if you don't overdo them but the people!" Up went her lorgnon. They soon departed. Lora did not dare to look back until she reached the door that opened on the avenue; as she did so her vibrant gaze collided with the Hungarian's. She determined to see him again. Nice Brooklyn girls always attend church and symphony concerts.
Ogden Fitzhugh had the courage to turn and eye Gertrude through her lorgnon. "And then?" "I took the car along the lower road, not to disturb the household. Mr. Bailey came down across the lawn, through the hedge, and got into the car on the road." "Then you know nothing of Mr. Armstrong's movements after he left the house?" "Nothing. I read of his death Monday evening for the first time." "Mr.
She even put up her lorgnon and though she was not very tall, she contrived to look Hector through them straight between the eyes. "Is M. le Comte in there?" Madame la Duchesse deigned to ask as she pointed with her lorgnon to the door. "In the small library beyond, Madame la Duchesse," replied Hector stiffly.
He drew from his pocket a sheet of folded paper and placed upon the end of his nose his famous gold 'lorgnon': "It is very trifling, one of those directives, as Monsieur de Moltke says, which serve to guide operations, a plan of action which we will modify after discussion.
