The Montague girl, who had made him up that morning, with close attention to his eyebrows, watched him from back of the cameras, and she seized both his hands when he left the set. "You're going to land," she warmly assured him. "I can tell a trouper when I see one." She was in costume. She was apparently doing the part of a society girl, though slightly overdressed, he thought.
Was this the same young woman who had sat in the midst of that absurd outfit and had juggled rather affectedly and self-consciously with tea-urn and sugar-tongs and had palavered in empty nothings with a troop of overdressed and overmannered feather-heads?
After deciding for the informal costume, at the last moment he altered his mind, and went arrayed as society demands; with the result that, on entering the little parlour that name suited it much better than drawing-room he felt overdressed, pompous, generally absurd.
The other girl tapped the floor with the toe of one boot impatiently. "That horrid creature at the next table just winked at me," she said disgustedly. Harriet looked about in the direction her companion had indicated, to see a large, overdressed man staring at them.
It is the haunt of the river swell and his overdressed female companion. It is the town of showy hotels, patronised chiefly by dudes and ballet girls. It is the witch's kitchen from which go forth those demons of the river steam- launches.
Will Ford, the brother of Grace, accompanied by a rather overdressed youth slightly older, had now come up to the group of girls. "Good afternoon!" greeted Percy Falconer, raising his hat with an elaborate gesture. "Charming weather we're having my word!" Percy rather inclined to English mannerisms or what he thought were such.
Already at the entrance to the Black Tom Café Eva's speedy runabout came to a stop. Dora was at the curb to meet her and was all winning smiles. Instinctively Eva shrank from this overdressed woman. But it had been Locke's desire that she come to this place, and she decided to follow the woman, for would it not lead to the unmasking of Paul, whom she hated?
A fire blazed brightly on the hearth; a few extra seats were quickly extemporized from boxes and chests, and the elder lady, with the skirt of her dress folded over her knees, looking not unlike an exceedingly overdressed jointed doll, dried her flounces and her tears together.
Anne was of two minds whether to have her cry out then and there, or wait till she was safely in her own white room at home. Before she could decide there was a click of heels and a silken swish on the porch floor, and Anne found herself confronted by a lady whose appearance made her recall a recent criticism of Mr. Harrison's on an overdressed female he had seen in a Charlottetown store.
"Unnecessarily long," Aunt Jane afterwards pronounced them; while Kate had to admit that they did indeed give Emilia an overdressed look at breakfast, and that she ought to have a less showy set to match her morning costume.
