My jacket seemed to fit tighter my pelisse hung more jauntily my shako sat more saucily on one side of my head my sabre banged more proudly against my boot my very spurs jangled with a pleasanter music and all because a little hair bristled over my lip, and curled in two spiral flourishes across my cheek!
And how I dressed her better than the governor's wife, really; I had a pelisse made her of crimson velvet, edged with fur... Ah! how that pelisse suited her! It was made by a Moscow madame in a new fashion, with a waist. And what a wonderful creature Matrona was!
Cecile flung herself on her mother's neck, kissing and coaxing her, which is a means by which only daughters get their own way. Cecile Beauvisage, a girl of nineteen, had put on a gown of gray silk trimmed with gimp and tassels of a deeper shade of gray, making the front of the gown look like a pelisse.
One of the snowballs fell right into Michal's lap, and as she shook it off her pelisse, there fell at her feet from the crumbling snow, a little crumpled piece of paper. She picked it up and saw that something was written on it. "At two o'clock this afternoon I shall be there!" So she has come back. She has dared to creep back into the town, despite the prohibition.
As for the lady, she is all the colours of the rainbow! she has a pink parasol, with a white lining, and a yellow bonnet, and an emerald green shawl, and a shot-silk pelisse; and drab boots and rhubarb-coloured gloves; and parti-coloured glass buttons, expanding from the size of a fourpenny-piece to a crown, glitter and twiddle all down the front of her gorgeous costume.
Little Gerard was standing at her side, inside her left arm, eyeing the work, and making it more difficult by wriggling about, and fingering the arm with which she held the cloth steady, to all which she submitted with imperturbable patience and complacency, Fancy a male workman so entangled, impeded, worried! "Ot's that, mammy?" "A pelisse, my pet." "Ot's a p'lisse?" "A great frock.
"I'll throuble ye, young man, to show me the article with the ticket." "The identical pelisse, if you please, sir," said Miss Biles, "which you there advertise as for sale at one, eighteen, eleven and a halfpenny." And then she pressed her lips together, and looked at the shopman with such vehemence that her two eyes seemed to grow into one.
Joanna realized this, and being anxious that no one should miss the sight of Ellen's new magenta pelisse with facings of silver braid, she made her stand on the seat while the psalms were sung. The morning service was in Brodnyx church in the evening it would be at Pedlinge.
Although I took care not to hurt them, they were so close together that it was impossible not to place my feet on their legs or arms. In the retreat from Moscow, the Emperor walked on foot, wrapped in his pelisse, his head covered with a Russian cap tied under the chin.
She was wrapped in a furred pelisse and a heavy dragoon's cloak; her head rested on a pillow stained with blood; an astrakhan hood, kept in place by a handkerchief knotted round her neck, preserved her face from the cold as much as possible. Her feet were wrapped in the cloak. Thus rolled into a bundle, as it were, she looked like nothing at all.
