Aside from shortening it, it had needed little alteration, and when the night of the sophomore reception arrived, Kathleen appeared, an hour before the time to start for the dance, to help Mary dress. She brought a cluster of pinky-white roses and a pink chiffon scarf, which, she diplomatically insisted, did not go well with any of her gowns and exactly matched Mary's.
As carpenters, they can scarf two pieces of wood together, secure them with pins of whalebone or ivory, fashion the timbers of a canoe, shoe a paddle, and rivet a scrap of iron into a spear or arrow head. Their very manner of holding and handling a knife is the most awkward that can be imagined.
"It is nothing, a scratch, a mere scratch, I give you my word, mademoiselle," he began, but Wilhelm unceremoniously removed the handkerchief, showing a torn and bleeding hand which must have been exquisitely painful. Helen turned pale, and with a reproachful glance skilfully bound it up again, saying, as she handed a silken scarf to Wilhelm,
"But there; doubtless, it is a thing unholy in thine eyes that the scarf of thy beloved should rest upon my poor breast. Take it, Harmachis; take it, and hide it in thy bosom nigh thy heart indeed!" I took the accursed thing, and, muttering what I may not write, stepped on to the giddy platform whence I watched the stars. Then, crushing it into a ball, I threw it to the winds of heaven.
Where the lady knows just what she wants and what she is doing, the townswoman is undecided, tucks up her skirts to cross a gutter, dragging a child by the hand, which compels her to look out for the vehicles; she is a mother in public, and talks to her daughter; she carries money in her bag, and has open-work stockings on her feet; in winter, she wears a boa over her fur cloak; in summer, a shawl and a scarf; she is accomplished in the redundancies of dress.
Success is certain. Will you honor me by drinking to it?" We drank solemnly. "I thought you were wearing a dark-green scarf," I interrupted, somewhat irrelevantly, speaking to Indiman. "I am," he replied. "It is red," I insisted. "Not green at all." "Nonsense!" said Indiman, and thereupon Mr. Colman Hoyt burst into a cackle of laughter. "Complementary colors," he said.
And without waiting to see how his suggestion was received, he caught up the saucepan, lifted the flap, and vanished. "Farva," remarked Kaviak, fixing melancholy eyes on Mac. "I ain't your father," muttered the gentleman so addressed. He picked up his scarf and hung it round his own neck. "Farva!" insisted Kaviak. They looked at each other. "You cold? That it, hey?"
Come away, dear, let us run from the crowd let us steal away together, somewhere anywhere you and I." And speaking, she drew about her shoulders a scarf, a filmy thing of gossamer, spangled with gold stars. "Quick, Peregrine!" she breathed. "There is the duke coming this way, quick before he spies us!" "Impossible!" I answered, wondering to hear myself speaking so lightly.
She then, with a smile, presented the noble gift to Sintram, who was bending forward to receive it, when suddenly Gabrielle drew back, and turning to Folko, said, "Noble baron, should not he on whom I bestow a scarf and sword be first admitted into the order of knighthood?" Light as a feather, Folko sprang up, and bowing low before his lady, gave the youth the accolade with solemn earnestness.
The Gay Lady had left her pretty, rose-hung quarters looking as if a lady lived in them, and had but dropped a dainty reminder of herself here and there to give them character an embroidered dressing-case on the bureau, an attractive travelling work-box on the table by her bed, a photograph, a lace-bordered handkerchief, a gossamer scarf on a chair-back ready for use if she should need it for a stroll in the moonlight with the Skeptic.
