Steve looked up, in time to catch the flash of warning menace Harrison sent toward the girl. "Mr. Yeager has been having a pipe-dream, Ruth. Don't wake him up," jeered the heavy. Ruth fled unobtrusively and left the men alone. "Hear you're going on a vacation," said Harrison gruffly. "You've heard correct." Yeager pleated his hatband with steady fingers. His voice was even and placid.
"You wouldn't drink with me, and I didn't like the domned, dinky, little pleated coat you wore," answered Jimmy. One instant amazement held sway on the Thread Man's face; the next, "And damned if I like yours!" he cried, and catching up a bowl half filled with broth he flung it squarely into Jimmy's face. Jimmy, with a great oath, sprang at the Boston man. But once in his life Dannie was quick.
Another who was noticed in the solemn, interminable procession was the bride's eccentric brother Hyacinthe, whose dress coat was of a cut never previously seen, with its tails broadly and symmetrically pleated.
We are tempted to question this unknown person, and say, "Who are you?" "Why are you lounging here?" "By what right do you wear that pleated ruffle, that faded waistcoat, and carry that cane with an ivory top; why those blue spectacles; for what reason do you cling to that cravat of a dead and gone fashion?"
Milray laughed as if her willingness to do the dance had defeated a sentimental sympathy in him. "I don't believe it will be that," said Clementina, beaming joyously. "But I guess I shall try it, if I can find the right kind of a dress." "Is a pleated skirt absolutely necessary," asked Milray, gravely. "I don't see how I could get on without it," said Clementina.
Eve, like the thrifty housekeeper and divine magician that she was, conjured up a few louis d'or from her savings to buy thin shoes for Lucien of the best shoemaker in Angouleme, and an entirely new suit of clothes from the most renowned tailor. She made a frill for his best shirt, and washed and pleated it with her own hands. And how pleased she was to see him so dressed!
Manka has on a brown, very modest dress, with black apron and pleated black bib; this dress is very becoming to her dainty, fair little head and small stature; it makes her younger and gives her the appearance of a high-school undergraduate. Her partner Pasha is a very queer and unhappy girl.
The sarong or sheath of the Brunai human being is a piece of cotton cloth, of Tartan pattern, sewn down the side and resembling an ordinary skirt, or petticoat, except that it is not pleated or attached to a band at the waist and is, therefore, the same width all the way down.
I told you that I had a prejudice in favor of keeping my word." She drew back and sat down on the sofa, cowering a little in the corner. "Do you suppose I have no pride?" she breathed. "Do you suppose it is easy for me to urge?" He saw her fingers tremble as, with elaborate self-control, she pleated the crimson silk of her skirt in little folds across her knee. For a moment they were both silent.
It was a relief to the couple most concerned when Miss Cordova entered, wearing an elaborately pleated and not too clean violet dressing gown, over which she had put on a dark blue blanket coat and her host's fur cap to keep her warm.
