Bludlip Courtenay surveying Gigue through her lorgnon with an air of polite criticism amounting to disdain, she noted the men hanging back a little in the way that well-born Britishers do hang back from a foreigner who is 'only' a teacher of singing, especially if they cannot speak his language, and she began to enjoy herself.
Ames held her lorgnon to her eyes with one withered, yellow hand, each finger covered to the swollen knuckles with diamonds dim with dust, then she dropped it in her lap with another dry cackle and said with a complete change of tone, as if reverting to some new topic of conversation: "Mr. Penfield was speaking of your friend, Miss Oldham, a moment or two ago, Mrs. Habersham.
Miss Milbrey had asked, at which her mother shot Percival a parting volley from her rapid-fire lorgnon, while her father turned upon him a back whose sidelines were really admirable, considering his age and feeding habits. The behaviour of these people appeared to intensify the amusement of their child.
That woman certainly has the haughtiest lorgnon ever built." "She didn't speak to us. Is her eyes bad?" "Yes, ever since that time at Newport. None of them has spoken to me but the girl she's engaged to Shepler." "She's a right nice lookin' little lady. I thought you was kind of taken there." "She would have married me for my roll. I got far enough along to tell that.
City Man, but yer a-goin' to find that back in these-yere hills there's honest folks and good shots!" The audience, on planks beneath the patched tent, admired Mr. Boothby's beard and long rifle; stamped their feet in the dust at the spectacle of his heroism; shouted when the comedian aped the City Lady's use of a lorgnon by looking through a doughnut stuck on a fork; wept visibly over Mr.
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. In short, it is a landmark that we may not launch into space."
It was while the two were laughing together over an unexpected denouement that the departure of two guests left a space across which Claire could see a far corner of the room, and perceived that a lady seated on a sofa had raised a tortoiseshell-bound lorgnon, to stare across at herself. She was an elderly lady, and at first sight her appearance awoke no recollection.
Collier, lifting her lorgnon. "Mrs. Collier has been reading my paper on the chateau country in France," said Barnes mendaciously. "Perfectly delightful," said Mrs. Collier, and at once changed the subject. De Soto's cocktails came in. Miss Cameron did not take one. O'Dowd proposed a toast. "To the rascals who went gunning for the other rascals.
Montague was told to be on Stage Six the next morning at 8:30 to attend a swell reception. "Wear the gray georgette, dearie," said the casting director, "and your big pearls and the lorgnon." "Not forgetting the gold cigarette case and the chinchilla neck piece," said Mrs. Montague. "The spare parts will all be there, Countess, and thanks for the word."
It remains to be seen whether Society's estimate of her was right or wrong. Her mother came in for half an hour, and admitted that the baby would be a good thing for poor George. "I am rather glad it is coming," she said. "I shall know what to do with that hateful money she forced me to take back." "What do you mean, mother?" Mrs. Tresslyn lifted her lorgnon.
