McBean, affably inclining. "Look, Camilla dear Sir William and Lady Frazer in laylock sarsnet how well that diamond bandeau becomes her! They are early to-night. As I was saying, Mr. "Ducie." "To be sure. As I was saying, any friend of Mr. Robbie one of my oldest acquaintance. If you can manage now to break him of his bachelor habits? You are making a long stay in Edinburgh?"
Nevertheless, Lord Chiltern did go down to Peterborough the next day by the hunting train, and rode his horse Bonebreaker so well in that famous run from Sutton springs to Gidding that after the run young Piles, of the house of Piles, Sarsnet, and Gingham, offered him three hundred pounds for the animal. "He isn't worth above fifty," said Lord Chiltern.
Two Sergeants in rich apparel. The Dolphin and his brother in coats of velvet embroidered with gold, and capes of satin bound with velvet. A Messenger in tinsel satin. Six men in gowns of grey sarsnet. Six women in gowns of crimson velvet. War, in rich cloth of gold and feathers, armed. Three Almeyns, in apparel all cut and holed in silk. Lady Peace in lady's apparel white and rich.
This great seer did not go beyond the consideration of the tissues as ultimate facts in the living organism, marking the limit of anatomical analysis; but it was open to another mind to say, have not these structures some common basis from which they have all started, as your sarsnet, gauze, net, satin, and velvet from the raw cocoon?
"And the thread for weaving sarsnet or sateen, taffeta, satin, and velvet, as well as providing the fibres for sewing-silk is not all the little caterpillar gives, either.

I was fairly in the trap. I turned, and between the moving crowd caught Alain's eye and his evil smile. He had found a partner: no less a personage than Lady Frazer of the lilac sarsnet and diamond bandeau. For some unaccountable reason, in this infernal impasse my spirits began to rise, to soar.
Heresy and False Interpretation, like sisters of Bohemia, apparelled in silk of divers colours. The heretic Luther, like a party friar, in russet damask and black taffety. Luther's wife, like a frow of Spiers in Almayn, in red silk. Peter, Paul, and James, in habits of white sarsnet, and three red mantles, and lace of silver and damask, and pelisses of scarlet. A Cardinal in his apparel.
A quiet, elderly man, tall, and meagre- looking, who was one of the company, but whom I had not before observed, immediately put his hand into the tight breast-pocket of his old-fashioned coat of grey sarsnet, pulled out a small letter- case, opened it, and, with a most respectful bow, presented the lady with the wished-for article. She received it without noticing the giver, or thanking him.
