She had made some inquiry which had to be carried round to the other shopman. "Miss Jenkyns wants the black sarsenet two-and-twopence the yard"; and Mr Holbrook had caught the name, and was across the shop in two strides. "Matty Miss Matilda Miss Jenkyns! God bless my soul!

She wore on her shoulders or rather on her back and not her shoulders, which it scarcely passed a French coat of sarsenet, tied in front with Margate braces, and of the same colour with her violet shoes. About her face clustered a disorder of dark ringlets, a little garland of yellow French roses surmounted her brow, and the whole was crowned by a village hat of chipped straw.

"If he had only been well enough to be here," it was said, "how he would have enjoyed it." Major Beaufort, attired as a Sultan and appropriately surrounded by his harem in sarsenet trousers and spangled veils, gave universal satisfaction.
