She turned and walked quickly toward the house, her heart beating very fast and loud, and her fingers tightly clasping the note underneath the folds of her long riding-skirt, as she held it up. She hurried to her room, shut and locked the door, and, throwing off her hat and veil, dropped into a seat, trembling in every limb with the agitation and excitement of her feelings.
Quain will be wild with worry if that animal finds his way back to the stable without me; I've been very thoughtless." She caught up her riding-skirt and started down the path with Amber trudging contently beside her. "However," she considered demurely, "I'm not at all sorry, really; it's quite an experience to have a notability at a disadvantage, even if only for a few minutes."
A lady, however, should take out a short riding-skirt, or habit, and a side-saddle. A tweed suit of medium warmth for travelling, and a couple of flannel suits, will bring the wearer to Srinagar, where he can increase his stock at a ridiculously low price about 22 rupees or £1, 9s. 4d. per suit. Boots. Here, again, the wayfarer is at full liberty to please himself.
The child had a thoughtful face thoughtful beyond her years and delicately shaped rather than pretty. "Lobelia, run in and tell the Admirals that a gentleman has called, with my permission." Having dismissed the handmaiden, she observed me in silence for a few moments while she unpinned her tartan riding-skirt.
Quickly running to her room, she slipped on a khaki riding-skirt. Her deft, tapering fingers moved swiftly, so that she was ready, crop in hand, booted and spurred, by the time Juan brought round her horse. It took but an instant to lift herself to the saddle and send Billy galloping forward. Already her cousin had disappeared in great clouds of dust over the brow of the hill.
Taking off the few things that were lying on it, Bob turned it over and began to knock the top off. When he had finished the coffin one of the fossicker's wives said it looked too bare, and she ripped up her black riding-skirt, and made Bob tack the cloth over the coffin.
She wouldn't wait for Huckleberry to be brought back to her, because she would never hear the last of it. She didn't mind the heat the least bit, and she would walk. And no, she wouldn't borrow Miss Georgie's parasol; she hated parasols, and she always had and always would. She gathered up her riding-skirt, and went slowly down the steps.
We start in our camping-dresses, with ulsters for the steamer and dusters for the long drive. Then we each have let me see what we have: a short, tough riding-skirt with a jersey, a bathing-dress, and some gingham morning-gowns to wear about the camp at breakfast-time. 'And flannel gowns for the night, and two pairs of boots, and a riding-cap and one hat apiece, added Margery.
Aunt Debby had partially recovered from the stunning of her fall, and limped slowly up, with her long riding-skirt raised by one hand. Her lips were compressed, an her great gray eyes blazed with excitement. They all went to the side of the road, and looked down at the crushed and bleeding mass in the creek.
"Well, don't doubt me, unless you want a scrap on your hands," Lite warned. "I'm sure ashamed of you. We'll stop here at the stable and get the horses. You can ride sideways as far as the Allens', and get your riding-skirt and come on. The sooner you are on top of a horse, the quicker you're going to come outa that state of mind."
