Neither her own bed, nor that of the servant who accompanied her, had been occupied. I looked everywhere for some clew to the mystery, when, on the floor near her morning-dress, which hung on a chair, I found this scrap of paper, which, as it is signed with your initials, you will not deny, I presume." With eyes that flashed fire, she almost dashed the paper in his face.
He had laid aside his monstrous hoop, together with his stays, gown, and petticoat, wrapped his lappets about his head by way of nightcap, and wore his domino as a loose morning-dress; his grizzled locks hung down about his lack-lustre eyes and tawny neck, in all the disorder of negligence; his gray beard bristled about half-an-inch through the remains of the paint with which his visage had been bedaubed, and every feature of his face was lengthened to the most ridiculous expression of grief and dismay.
Lillie never was caught napping when the point in question was the fit of her clothes. When released from the little blue jacket, there was a rose-colored morning-dress to be tried on, and a grave discussion as to whether the honiton lace was to be set on plain or frilled. So important was this case, that mamma was summoned from the sewing-machine to give her opinion. Mrs.
But you have a knack at commanding, and to hear is to obey; so if you insist upon it, and will pardon my morning-dress, I remain." Mr. Lovel's morning-dress was a suit of rather clerical-looking black from a fashionable West-end tailor a costume that would scarcely outrage the proprieties of a patrician dinner-table.
How fresh and happy you all look! And Petrea! how advantageously she has altered; she is come to have something quiet and sensible about her; she has outgrown her nose, and dresses herself neatly; she is just like other people now. And see here I have a warm, wadded morning-dress for her, that will keep her warm up in her garret; is it not superb? And it cost only ten thalers courant."
The happy hours of Hope Wayne's life were the visits of Lawrence Newt. The sound of his voice in the hall, of his step on the stair, gave her a sense of profound peace. Often, as she sat at table with Mrs. Simcoe, in her light morning-dress, and with the dew of sleep yet fresh upon her cheeks, she heard the sound, and her heart seemed to stop and listen.
"But I'm not sure that I quite understand the the precise connection of morning-dress and dinner in a small room with the project." He nodded pleased comprehension of the spirit in which she took him. "Just a whim," he explained. "The things I've got in mind don't fit at all with ceremony, and that big barn of a room, and men standing about.
By her side lay a fragrant bouquet of flowers, the dew-drops still glistening upon them, and in their midst a little note which said: "Beatrice, will you come into the garden for a few minutes before breakfast, just to tell me all that happened last night was not a dream?" She rose quickly. Over her pretty morning-dress she threw a light shawl, and went down to meet Lord Airlie.
"Are you the Commander-in-Chief?" "I am one infinitely more powerful," was the reply. And then the speaker threw off his disguise-cloak, and appeared in morning-dress. A week later the Captain had sent in his papers, and every man in the Company he had once commanded wore the stripe of a Lance Corporal. And thus was the power of the Press once again sufficiently vindicated. Tan-ta-ra-ra-ra-ra!
She was cold and shivering, though the weather was warm, and had wrapped a shawl, full of richly-tinted colors, over her morning-dress, and sat cowering under it like some newly-caught animal. Lord Hope felt that his inhospitable expulsion of her brother, and the cruel conversation that had followed it, was the cause of this nervous depression, and his heart smote him.
