Suma told us they wore the costume of the haute bourgeoisie, and probably the girl had been taken to see her future mother-in-law. The next vision that met our eyes was the doctor in his best clothes, frock-coat, white spats, gloves, and a minute pork-pie cap perched on the top of his spherical countenance.

She read a good deal after her supper of an evening, and was wont to be the arbiter when any literary matter was discussed in the servants' hall. "Madam?" she said, respectfully entering the room, and bending the pork-pie cap forward in an attentive attitude. Mrs. Greyne was silent for a moment.
"I shall be more than delighted," he replied, as he bowed with homage and stood aside, because William's face betrayed his anxiety over the fidgety ponies. Miss La Sarthe turned her head with its pork-pie hat and floating veil, and said with superb tranquillity, "You may drive on now, William."

The summer twilight was deepening into the summer dusk when Ailsa, acting upon Cleek's advice, set forth with his little lordship the following evening, and turned her steps in the direction of the Park; but although, on her way there, she observed more than once that a swarthy-skinned man in European dress who wore a scarlet flower in his coat, and was so perfect a type of the Asiatic that he would have passed muster for one even among a gathering of Cingalese, kept appearing and disappearing at irregular intervals, it spoke well for the powers of imitation and self-effacement possessed by Dollops, that she never once thought of associating that young man with the dawdling messenger boy who strolled leisurely along with a package under his arm and patronised every bun-shop, winkle-stall, and pork-pie purveyor on the line of march.
"You you don't know the recipe, do you?" asked Mr. Coombes. "Unfortunately I do not," replied my uncle; "but the chief ingredient was said to have been railway refreshment-room pork-pie. "I forget the man's other crimes," my uncle went on; "I used to know them all at one time, but my memory is not what it was.

I hope the batch isn't near an end."

Dick isn't a coward!" "I humbly apologise, Mrs Winthorpe," said Marston, smiling, "and you must forgive me. A man who has been shot at has his temper spoiled."
Yesterday I saw one in a window, with a thrill of recognition, that made a friend with whom I was walking think for a moment that I had seen a ghost. He knows nothing of the human heart who cannot realize how tremulous with ancient heart-break may seem an old-fashioned English pork-pie after ten years in America.
Other counties Warwickshire, for example doubtless have lanes no less lovely, but Surrey and Devonshire have, so to say, got the decision; and, if an American traveller wants to see a typical English lane, he goes to Surrey or Devonshire, just as, if he wants a typical English pork-pie, he sends to Melton Mowbray.
