He chose a pair the color of feuillemort, quickly slipped them on, put on a pair of buttoned shoes, donned the mouse grey suit which was checquered with a lava gray and dotted with black, placed a small hunting cap on his head and threw a blue raincoat over him.
An expedition to the nearest charcuterie was indicated; but after he had searched for and found an old raincoat of Solon's, Lanyard decided against leaving the girl alone. Pending her appearance, he filled the spirit-stove, put the kettle on to boil, and lighting a cigarette, sat himself down to watch the pot and excogitate his several problems.
"Say, they got a long lemonade they don't make bad in here sliced orange and a cherry on top. I'll go you one. I guess it won't take a jiff." "Good!" cried Clayton, leading the way without more ado into the Jessup. He picked up his raincoat which he had left on a chair near the door, flung over his travelling bag, and carried both with him through the swing doors into the buffet.
Rilla did her hair very becomingly and donned a long raincoat for fear of a shower. But all the while her thoughts were concerned with the coming distasteful interview, and she kept rehearsing mentally her part in it. She wished it were over she wished she had never tried to get up a Belgian Relief concert she wished she had not quarreled with Irene.
As she walked along the wet road, Elliott Sherwood came splashing along in a little two-wheeled gig and picked her up. He wore a raincoat and a small cap, and did not look at all like a minister or, at least, like Frances's conception of one. Not that she knew much about ministers.
And this sure was an odd specimen. He was all of six feet high and most of him was draped in a brown raincoat effect that buttoned from his ankles to his chin. Besides that, he wore a green leather cap such as I've never seen the mate to, and he had a long, solemn face that was mostly obscured by the richest and rankest growth of bright chestnut whiskers ever in captivity.
"It's really gray, and the sparrows have decided upon a shower." She regarded him whimsically. "And you look so well in your raincoat," he added. They took the 'bus up the Avenue.... She pointed out the tremendous vitalities of the Rodin marbles, intimated their visions, and remarked that he should hear Vina Nettleton on this subject.
On the back of his saddle was tied a black slicker, the raincoat of the open country, which bulged with a medium-sized pack done up within it. One would have taken him to be thirty, perhaps a year or two more when his face was serious; but when he smiled, that is, when he smiled naturally, he looked little more in years than a youth who has just attained his majority.
And now he was there, the end of the procession, to look for God knows what. He pulled the raincoat up around his shoulders, and lay back stiffly. Then he was not an imaginative man he began to feel that eyes were staring at him, furtive, hidden eyes, intently watching him. Without moving he began to rake the cabin with his eyes, wall to wall, corner to corner.
A sudden determination took possession of her whole being a determination to sweep aside all conventionalities and objections as if they had not been. It was now almost dark. The guests would not be coming for half an hour yet. It was only fifteen minutes' walk over the hill to the Cove. Hastily Rachel shrouded herself in her new raincoat, and drew a dark, protecting hood over her gay head.
