The singing appeared to me mediocre, but the songstress in her peignoir interested me much. "Gentlemen," said I, "it appears to me there is behind that frail tissue" I alluded to the curtain "a very handsome woman. Put out your cigars, if you please; their light might betray our presence and embarrass the fair singer."
"I shall have on my peignoir, Mamma," said Miss, looking at the gentleman, and then dropping down her eyes and blushing too. "But he can't stay, 'Gina, I tell you: do you think that I would, before a gentleman, take off my "
The flounces of her white peignoir, through which blue ribbons were drawn, like little patches of blue sky among the clouds, rolled in billows over the carpet, and, having already recovered from her embarrassment, she stood very straight, with an affable expression and her everlasting little smile, as she kissed her husband and offered her forehead to Frantz, saying: "Good morning, brother."
When she went up to her room, she presented the black gown to Leontine and sent her to bed. Then she put on a peignoir of pink silk and lace and examined herself in the mirror. She looked fifteen years younger and wholly charming; there was no doubt of it. The next day, before starting for New York, she wrote a note to Senator North: I am going to marry Robert Burleigh.
Miss Fanshawe's travels, gaieties, and flirtations agreed with her mightily; she had become quite plump, her cheeks looked as round as apples. I had seen her last in elegant evening attire. I don't know that she looked less charming now in her school-dress, a kind of careless peignoir of a dark-blue material, dimly and dingily plaided with black.
Women are capable of putting love aside, like a rich dress, and donning the peignoir of matter-of-fact dailiness, in a way which is an eternal enigma to men.... Then I saw, in a sudden flash, that I had renounced my individual existence, that I had forfeited my habits and rules, and privacies, that I was a man's woman. And the passionate lover in me gloried in this.
Ashmead called after her to know might he order supper. "If you will be so kind." Ashmead rejoiced at this unguarded permission, and ordered a supper that made Karl stare. The Klosking returned in about half an hour, clad in a crisp peignoir. Ashmead confronted her. "I have ordered a bottle of champagne," said he. Her answer surprised him. "You have done well.
The woman who wishes to be a philosopher must avoid Paris! Yesterday I entered it, caring or thinking as little of la mode as if there were no such tyrant; and lo! to-day, I found myself ashamed, as I looked from the Duchess de Guiche, attired in her becoming and pretty peignoir
Their utterly incurious indifference to Rachel in her peignoir at the window was somehow harrowing. The dank lane and vaporous, stagnant landscape were once more dead and silent, and would for a long time remain so, for though potters begin work early, colliers begin work much earlier, living in a world of customs of their own.
They here occupied a first-floor, furnished with all the luxury that Lourdes could provide, carpets, hangings, mirrors, and many other things, without mentioning a staff of servants despatched beforehand from Paris. As the weather was so fine that afternoon, the large armchair on which lay the poor ailing woman had been rolled on to the balcony. You could see her there, clad in a lace peignoir.
