When Dad took over the livery-stable, he found he was the proud possessor of three donkeys, as well as some twenty-odd horses, and a dozen or so buggies, buckboards and surries.
Although she had been in Paris and London and in New York, knew how to play Beethoven and Grieg and Saint-Saëns, had had gowns made by Paquin, and her portrait in the salon, she was at home in this glade as a Tahitian girl a hundred years ago.
It surely betokens a low moral stage of civilization that so many, nevertheless, choose the Paquin gowns and the six-course dinners. Luxury is better than simplicity if it can be the luxury of all. If not, it means selfishness, callousness, and broken bonds of brotherhood.
What is it this time Paquin or Worth? Don't mind me, Anna. I can always live in a cottage on a pound a week. The doctor says I should be the better for it. Perhaps I should. Half the complaints we suffer from are just 'too much. Think that over and add it up. You look very pale, my girl. You're not ill, are you?"

"But Nature has her weapons always," she protested. "Wingrave, was it the child?" He touched the electric bell. Taking her hands, he bent down and kissed them. "Dear lady," he said, "goodbye good fortune! Conquer new worlds, and remember white is your color, and Paquin your one modiste. Morrison, Lady Barrington's carriage." Mr. Pengarth was loth to depart.
But when she saw Marcia clothed in a new Worth or Paquin, Sewell was sorely tempted to desert her elderly mistress and go in search of a young one. "Come in, Sewell," cried Marcia. "What do you think of it?" The woman eagerly obeyed her.
I ain't saying nothing about you as a designer, Mawruss.
