Fane spoke up languidly: "It rather looks as though we were the down-and-out delegation at present; doesn't it, Orchil?" "I don't know," said Orchil; "it seems a trifle more promising to me since I've had the pleasure of seeing Captain Selwyn face to face. Go on, Percy; let the horrid facts be known."
As they filed out of the card-room into the dim passageway, Orchil leading, a tall, shadowy figure in evening dress stepped back from the door of the card-room against the wall to give them right of way, and Orchil, peering at him without recognition in the dull light, bowed suavely as he passed, as did Fane, craning his curved neck, and Harmon also, who followed in his wake.
Neergard pored all day over the blue-pencilled column, and went home, stunned; the social sheet which is taken below stairs and read above was full of it, as was the daily press and the mouths of people interested, uninterested, and disinterested, legitimately or otherwise, until people began to tire of telling each other exactly how it happened that Gerald Erroll ran away with Gladys Orchil.
Litmus is also obtained from the same lichens as yield orchil. It is not used in dyeing, and is a violet-blue colouring matter when neither acid nor alkaline, but neutral as it is termed. It turns red with only a trace of acid, and blue with the least trace of alkali, and so forms a very delicate reagent when pieces of paper are soaked with it, and dipped into the liquids to be tested.
He never talks 'down' at you like an insufferable undergraduate; and he is so much of a man such a real man! that I like him," she added naïvely; "and I'm quite sure he likes me, because he said so." "I like him," said Gladys Orchil, "because he has a sense of humour and stands straight. I like a sense of humour and good shoulders.
"By the way, Austin; the Orchil boy the one in Harvard proposed to Eileen the little idiot! She told me thank goodness! she still does tell me things. Also the younger and chubbier Draymore youth has offered himself after a killingly proper interview with me. I thought it might amuse you to hear of it."
As his cab drove up to the intricately ornamental little house of gray stone, a big touring limousine wheeled out from the curb, and he caught sight of Sanxon Orchil and Phoenix Mottly inside, evidently just leaving Ruthven. His smiling and very cordial bow was returned coolly by Orchil, and apparently not observed at all by Mottly.
And, Gerald, tainted sport and a clean record can't take the same fence together." The boy looked up, flushed and perplexed. "Why, every woman in town " "Oh, no. How about your sister and mine?" "Of course not; they are different. Only well, you approve of Rosamund Fane and Gladys Orchil don't you?"
This dye works best in a neutral bath, but it will do what not many dyes will, namely, dye in either a slightly alkaline or slightly acid bath as well. Orchil is not applicable in cotton dyeing. Being a substantive colour no mordants are needed in dyeing silk and wool with it. The colour produced on wool and silk is a bright magenta-red with bluish shade.
"Captain Selwyn is perfectly right," observed Orchil coolly. "Do you think, Draymore, that it is very good taste in you to come into a man's place and begin slanging and cursing a member of his firm for crooked work?" "Besides," added Mottly, "it's not crooked; it's only contemptible.
