Vivian could meet this poser, the front door opened with a bang, and a youngish man in a wet yellow raincoat came striding rapidly across the court toward them. He was a powerfully built man with a blue-tinged chin, and wore the air of a person of authority. "Meeting not begun yet?" he demanded, without salutation, apparently addressing Carlisle. "Thought I was late." "Ah, Mr.
A fire blazed in the grate, and the draped mantelpiece was decorated with a number of photographs of junior officers, many of them autographed. His companion, who said her name was Kitty Chester, had discarded her raincoat and hat, and now stood before the fire arrayed in a smart plaid skirt and a white silk blouse, cut very low.
He has on a coat that looks like the actor's raincoat, but it is not the little comedian himself. There he goes, into the house, right into the house. It is Solem. "Why, that's where she sleeps!" I think. "Ah, well. Alone in the building, in the south wing, Miss Torsen alone yes, quite alone. And Solem has just gone in."
Now come along, or have I got to come over there and make you?" He noticed her negligee. "Put on your frock, and I'll wait, but hurry." "It's raining," she demurred, "and I haven't my raincoat here." "I brushed by one in the hall," he said, and stepping back he lifted down a somewhat shabby gray raincoat and flung it toward her. She picked it up, and slipped it on.
With her two hands she was gripping at the bars of the cell and looking through at him. Kent saw that her face was pale in the lamp glow. In that pallor her violet eyes were like pools of black. The hood of her dripping raincoat was thrown partly back, and against the whiteness of her cheeks her hair glistened wet, and her long lashes were heavy with the rain.
He darted at the closet and yanked out his ineffectual city raincoat and rubbers, and the dreary wreck of what had once been his pert new vacation traveling-cap. "No, no, don't, please don't!" Mother begged. "You couldn't do anything, and I don't dast to go out and I'm afraid to stay here alone." But Father was putting on his raincoat. "I'll just run down and see be right back."
"Ah, caught you both!" he cried, all out of breath with his run upstairs, his hat still on his head. "Into your coats, you two we haven't a moment to spare. You got my letter, of course," he added, throwing back the cape of his raincoat. "Yes, Holker, just opened it!" cried Peter, holding out both hands to his guest. "But I'm not going.
The next day, in a whirling rainstorm, well protected by a trim raincoat, overshoes, and a close-fitting little hat about which spirals of bright hair clung in a halo, Susan crossed the ferry and climbed up the long stairs that rise through the very heart of Sausalito. The sky was gray, the bay beaten level by the rain, and the wet gardens that Susan passed were dreary and bare.
I took note of the oddly feminine shape of his knees, and the unusual plumpness of his thighs; there was something unnatural about this plumpness, as though it did not belong to his sex. His shoes were down at the heel, and his collar was open. His raincoat hung regally from his shoulders and flapped in the wind, though it was not raining. He was a proud and comical sight.
I raised my head with a start and stared at the man in his raincoat and lilac silk pantaloons. "That's so," I fed it to him, "She had a name for you. She called you the wonder man." "Did she!" a pleased smile. "Well, I'll give her right on that. I was some little wonder man.
