She was well above the usual height, quite slender, yet of an exquisite rounded fulness, while her snug-fitting tailor-made gown showed the marks of a Redfern or a Paquin. He noted, also, that her stride was springy and athletic and her head well carried.
Madame Paquin, better known to Americans, I fancy, than any of the great dressmakers of Europe, offered her beautiful home in Neuilly to the Government to be used as a hospital, and it had accommodated up to the summer of 1916 eight thousand, nine hundred soldiers. She also kept all her girls at work from the first.
Brott has shown himself quite capable of keeping her at arm's length. I cannot see what further use she is." Lady Carey heard the flutter of skirts outside and rose. "There are wheels within wheels," she remarked. "My dear Lucille, what a charming toilette. We shall have the lady journalists besieging us in our box. Paquin, of course. Good-night, Duchess.
And although her beauty has always been a pleasure to the eye, perhaps it is now for the first time paying its great debt to Nature. Madame Paquin, the famous French dressmaker, told me casually an incident that epitomizes the mental inheritance of the women of a military nation once more plunged abruptly into war.
And she congratulated herself that her hair had gone up so well that morning and that her dress was one of her most becoming from Paris, from Paquin a year old, it is true, but later than the latest in Saint X and fashionable even for Sherry's at lunch time. Ross, the expert, got himself together and made cover without any seeming of scramble; but his not quite easy eyes betrayed him to her.
On Sunday, December 3, word reached St Eustache of the defeat of the insurgents at St Charles. This had a moderating influence on many of the Patriotes. All week the Abbé Paquin, parish priest of St Eustache, had been urging the insurgents to go back quietly to their homes. He now renewed his exhortations. He begged Chénier to cease his revolutionary conduct. Chénier, however, was immovable.
His parishioners were loyal, Father Paquin contended in a well-reasoned petition; it was not they but the discontented people of Grand Brulé who had seized the town; yet the result was ruin. In the affair of Odelltown in 1838 a citizen's barn was burnt down by orders of the British officer commanding because it gave shelter to the rebels.
The wild black eyes seemed alight with all the fires of tragedy unconfessed. "I am not ill, father," she said, "but there is something about which I must speak to you." "Yes, yes, Anna of course. And this is neither Paquin nor Worth, it appears. Oh, you little rogue. To come to me like this to come to your poor old father and bring him a son-in-law for dinner.
LEO. All these things agree right well with the reports, which we haue heard of the stately and renowmed kingdome of China: I would now right gladly know somewhat concerning the order which is obserued in the obtaining of magistracies. Moreouer, next after the office of Vice-roy they are capable to be chosen Senatours of Nanquin, and last of all to be elected into the Senate of Paquin.
Mrs. Ogilvie, red-haired according to the exact shade then in fashion, and dressed by Paquin, sat in her drawing-room reading the Court Journal. She was a woman who thought on the lines of Aristotle, despised most other women except Charlotte Corday, Judith, Joan of Arc, and a few more, and she dyed her hair and read the Court Journal.
