The 'season, as it is called in great cities, was over unfortunately, the last season that was ever destined to illuminate the society or to stimulate the domestic trade of Dublin." "Vina's got an idee she wants to git married." The speaker was a venerable darkey, who stood twirling his rimless hat with a sheepish air in the probate-office.
Just then a boy, in well-ventilated garments and a rimless straw hat, with a blacking box over his shoulder, approached. "Shine your boots, mister?" he asked. Robert glanced at his shoes, which were rather deficient in polish, and finding that the expense would be only five cents, told him to go ahead. "I'll give you the bulliest shine you ever had," said the ragamuffin. "That's right!
At such moments the judge had a peculiar habit of drawing up his long back and seemingly to distend himself with all the dignity which his cumulative years and honors had endured, and of bowing his neck to make the focus of his eyes more direct as he peered above his rimless glasses.
The thin hair, worn on the shoulders, was dust-colour mixed with grey, and to crown all there was a rusty rimless hat, shaped like an inverted flowerpot. From beneath this strange hat the small strange face, with the round, furtive, troubled eyes, watched me as I passed. The people I lodged with told me his history.
Meantime the young man had closed the museum door and was crossing the hall. He was a wiry-haired, severe-looking young man, with a sharp nose and eyes that gleamed through rimless spectacles none other, in fact than Lord Emsworth's private secretary, the Efficient Baxter. Ashe hailed him: "I say, old man, would you mind telling me how I get to Mr. Peters' room? I've lost my bearings."
There at least I could deal with men; and there I went, nursing rebellion yet trying my utmost to appear outwardly calm. To the clerk I offered my three signed cards by way of introduction. "And which do you select?" asked the oldish man over his rimless glasses. "None." "Ah, but you must." "But what if I refuse to do so?" "That is most unusual." "But does it ever happen?"
Warm, comforting, stainless, she swathed me with rose-leaf softness while whispering a lullaby of sighs. Her salty caresses lingered on my lips, as I gazed dreamily intent upon determining the non-existing skyline. Yet, with no demarcation of the allied elements this rimless, flickering moon, to what narrow zone, I pondered, is man restricted!
Instinctively I put my hand to my head to reassure myself that I was not wearing a rakish little soft felt hat with a partridge-feather, and I reflected with some complacency that my rimless pince-nez did not give me the owlish appearance produced by Anastasius Dose's great round, iron-rimmed goggles. From such crumbs of vanity are we sometimes reduced to take comfort.
He weighed, say, one hundred pounds or less, was bent, but with a fresh complexion and active step. I saw him rise naked from his cot one morning, and the first thing he put on was the rimless monocle. The natives, who name every one, called him "Matatitiahoe," "the one-windowed man." He had journeyed about the world, poked into some queer places, and in Japan had himself tattooed.
A smug, well-dressed man, with close-cropped gray beard, and a detached gaze that seemed to go no further than his rimless glasses, turned and spoke to Reynolds: "It has gotten to be quite the fashion for somebody in the steerage to create this sort of sensation. It happened as I went over.
