He is vital to-day and strengthening his hold upon the readers of fiction. The quiet, cultivated folk in whose good opinion lies the destiny of really worthy literature, are, as a rule, friendly to Trollope; not seldom they are devoted to him. Such people peruse him in an enjoyably ruminative way at their meals, or read him in the neglige of retirement.
She did not like the idea of their seeing her going about with her hair down; after her experiences in the boat it seemed absurd to quibble over a thing like this and she tried to argue with herself without avail. It seemed to her that if she went about in negligé like that she would lower herself. How? There was nothing unwomanly in flowing hair, there was nothing indelicate.
The young children, as usual, were only clothed in silver ornaments. This neglige dress in the privacy of their homes is merely a matter of custom and climate, for these people are no more savages than we are. These glimpses of a native tropic life, entirely uninfluenced by European civilization, are most interesting.
"We will see at once whether I do," answered Lucretia, clapping her hands with joy. "Here Marietta quick! Help me off with this hateful gown, and hand me the pink-satin petticoat." In a few moments the mistress and maid were equally happy, while the former was being decked in her magnificent neglige.
Mizerl; she must not doubt my love. I have her constantly before my eyes in her fascinating neglige. I have seen many pretty girls here, but not one whose beauty can be compared with hers. Do not forget to bring the variations on Ekart's menuet d'exaude, and also those on Fischer's minuet. I was at the theatre last night. The play was "Der Mode nach der Haushaltung," which was admirably acted.
When she returned she saw Lady Clifford kiss the patient's cheek, then straighten up, wrap her négligé closer about her slender body, and move towards the door. "Bon soir, mon cher," she called softly, kissing her finger-tips to him, "dors bien!" So charming, so transparently appealing ... yet she had been looking for something under the pillow, Esther was convinced of it.
In the same way he posed in other portraits. A favorite with him is the one in which he sits contemplating a butterfly upon his forefinger typical of a man "preoccupied of his own soul." In another he peers out curiously as from behind a mask. In an earlier one he stands, hat in hand, in marked negligé costume, a little too intentional, one feels.
The old woman would see to that," he said. "Then where is it?" I inquired. "I want my night-shirt now." "It is probably in the locker room," replied my chum, "shall I ask Smiley to let us go and see?" "Do, if you don't mind," said I; and Tom, whisking down the room in a somewhat neglige costume, readily obtained the requisite "permit of search."
She changed her garments and put on a loose green neglige, then re- arranged her hair into plaits, forming them into a coronet which made her head appear very small and graceful. From force of habit she opened a bottle of perfume, moistened the palms of her hands and rubbed them over her neck and bosom. At once she felt giddy, even the cold, dampish sheets on her bed seemed to smell of chipre.
Long may it brave "the battle and the breeze"! English uniforms were glancing among the crowd on the quay, English faces surrounded me, English voices rang in my ears; the neglige costumes which met my eyes were in the best style of England. A thrill of pleasure went through my heart on finding, more than 4000 miles from home, the characteristics of my own loved land.
