The men in their Sunday gear tiptoed creaking across the floors; the women, feeling for their pocket-handkerchiefs, padded softly and heavily after them, folded in their black shawls like mourning birds. Caleb and Deborah and Barney sat in the north parlor, where Ephraim lay.
For instance, the stealing of pocket-handkerchiefs or snuff-boxes may or may not be vicious; but if we, who have not the wit, or will not take the trouble to decide the question ourselves, want to hear the real rights of the matter, we should not, surely, apply to a pickpocket to know what he thought on the point.
"She says, moreover, that the American ladies sit with their feet out of the window, and have no pocket-handkerchiefs." "Excellent!" They crossed the market-place and went up beneath the grand terrace into the court-yard of the castle. "Let us go up and sit under the great linden-trees, that grow on the summit of the Rent Tower," said Flemming.
"I mean to present him on his next birthday with a dozen pocket-handkerchiefs, embroidered in the corner with an urn and a willow-tree." "An urn, you ridiculous child!" returned Sophy. "That means that somebody is dead." "Don't throw cold water on my charming conceits!" pleaded Hatty. "Now go in and face my Aunt Kezia if you dare." We found her cutting out flannel petticoats in the parlour.
"Do you make a practice," asked she, "of appropriating people's handkerchiefs?" "Certain people's yes," unblushing, he promptly owned. "M.D. under a princely crown, I think you said?" she mused. "It occurs to me that Maria Dolores of Zelt-Neuminster's pocket-handkerchiefs might be so embroidered." "Ah?" said John. "Zelt-Neuminster? That would be a daughter of the man who owns this Castle?"
They were shaking hands with one another and everybody else, and shedding tears of joy, and borrowing the pocket-handkerchiefs of sympathetic strangers to dry them, or leaving them undried. They were crowding the Government kitchens, drinking the healths of the officers and men of Great Britain's Union Brigade in hot soup and hot coffee.
My aunt was very kind upon the marriage ceremony, indeed. She had desired me some weeks previous to order three magnificent dresses for Mary from the celebrated Madame Mantalini of London, and some elegant trinkets and embroidered pocket-handkerchiefs from Howell and James's. These were sent down to me, and were to be my present to the bride; but Mrs.
The English would seize the plates of bonbons and empty the contents bodily into their coat pockets. The ladies would do the same with their pocket-handkerchiefs. But the Duke's liege subjects carried on their depredations on a far bolder scale. I have seen large portions of fish, sauce and all, packed up in a newspaper, and deposited in a pocket.
So the Duchess, abandoning that aristocratic manner criticized by some of her colleagues as "up-stage" and by others as "Ritz-y," sat in her chair and consumed pocket-handkerchiefs as fast as they were offered to her. Jill had been the only girl in the room who had spoken no word of consolation. This was not because she was not sorry for the Duchess.
Thomas was the first lieutenant of Capron's troop. He is a young man, large and powerfully built. He was shot through the leg just below the trunk, and I found him lying on a blanket half naked and covered with blood, and with his leg bound in tourniquets made of twigs and pocket-handkerchiefs.
