Gray crossed the Alps in the beginning of winter, "wrapped in muffs, hoods and masks of beaver, fur boots, and bearskins," but wrote ecstatically, "Not a precipice, not a torrent, not a cliff but is pregnant with religion and poetry."
The Katakarion shirts also had been successful, and now there was a hope that, during the coming winter, something might be done in African monkey muffs. At that time, therefore, the bill of the house at three months, though not to be regarded as a bank-note, was not absolutely waste paper.
Here are some of them: 70 walking-sticks, 30 silk umbrellas, and there are eleven similar lots, besides innumerable parasols 50 muffs and boas a crate containing 140 billycocks and hats 24 looking-glasses 160 packets of cloth buttons 15 frying-pans and 18 ploughshares 3 butter machines 2 gas-meters, 2 shovels, and a pair of spectacles a box of sanitary powder and a 15-horse power horizontal steam-engine!
He is very glad when he can shoot a sable; because the Russian emperor requires every Ostyak to give him yearly, as a tax, the skins of two sables. The fur of the sable is very valuable, and is made into muffs and tippets, and pelisses for the Russian nobles. But without his snow-shoes, the Ostyak would not be able to pursue the wild animals, for he would sink in the snow.
"'The Lord Mayor lent the City P'lice, The cads ran down by scores and scores With shouting roughs, and scented muffs, While blue were flounces, frills, and gores. On swampy meads, in sleeted hush, The swarms of London made a rush, And all the world was in the slush. "Etcetera. That's part of Crayshaw's last; it's a parody of one of those American fogies.
As the season advanced and the weather grew colder, most of the girls appeared in new and comfortably warmer garments, for Thetford stands high and is a 'bracing' place. Well-lined ulsters, fur-trimmed jackets, muffs and boas, were the order of the day. But not so for Bessie and Margaret.
Don't you bother about me." I fancy his wife's irony did quite alarm poor Teddy; because one evening he asked me seriously in the smoking-room if I thought that having too much in one's head would really interfere with one's quickness in polo. It struck him, he said, that brainy Johnnies generally were rather muffs when they got on to four legs. I reassured him as best I could.
When that list was first read out in conclave to the partners, Mr. Brown begged almost with tears in his eyes, that it might be modified. "George," said he, "we shall be exposed." "I hope we shall," said Robinson. "Exposition is all that we desire." "Eight thousand African monkey muffs! Oh, George, you must leave out the monkey muffs." "By no means, Mr. Brown."
These were women who could go alone around the world, likely to interrupt passionate advances with the blows of a trained boxer. He had seen some in his travels who carried diminutive nickel-plated revolvers in their muffs or in their handbags along with powder box and handkerchief. Mary Gordon told of the distant Oceanic archipelago in which her father exercised authority like a viceroy.
"The muff is in a position hard to reach. Besides, we must ask leave to take anything down after the window is dressed for the day, and the master is out. But I will bring you the same fur precisely." So saying, he went, and returned presently with a load of muffs and other furs, which he threw on the counter.
