When he reached them, Nels was still doubled tight over the cheetah's backward-bent body; his grey iron-jaws locked deep in the tawny throat. "Sahib! Sanford Han tee Sahib!" "Hi, Bhanah; this way!" Bhanah came with a rain-coat in his hand. Stooping to examine Nels a moment and rising to glance at the wall, he spoke rapidly: "The Sahib has seen his Great Dane Nels kill a second cheetah in one day.
You'd have been soaked before you got to Harris's. How be you? I ain't seen you since that highfalutin party up to Crewe's." "It's very kind of you to let me come in, Mr. Jenney." "But I have a rain-coat and a boot, and I really ought to be going on." Here Victoria produced the rain-coat from under the seat. The garment was a dark blue, and Mr.
In ones and twos the guests reported as the dusk-curtained fog closed in on Shotover. Quarrier came, dry as a chip under his rain-coat, but his silky beard was wet with rain, and moisture powdered his long, soft eyelashes and white skin; and his flexible, pointed fingers, as he drew off his gloves, seemed startling in their whiteness through the gathering gloom.
Amid the exclamations of delight over this bit of news, the hat was forgotten for a time, and when the mother and sister finally reverted to it and began to discuss how it could have gotten on the closet shelf, he broke in upon their questions with a suggestion.

But it did rain, and he went without a rain-coat! The house, as he neared it, showed no light, and under the thick canopy of the trees there was no sound but the drip, drip of the rain.
Dysart gave an ugly laugh and turned short on his heel: "The whole damn lot of you make me sick," he said. "So does this club." A servant held his rain-coat and handed him his hat; he shook his bent shoulders, stifled a cough, and went out into the rain.
It was drab, as drab as Toot's old rain-coat. Toot was "our coloured boy." That is the way we described him. Father had brought him home from the war, and had sent him to school, and then apprenticed him to a miller.
