The hippopotamus clothed in black did not take off his skullcap this time, to the child's great regret, for he wished to assure himself if the degrees of latitude and longitude were checked off in squares on M. Batifol's cranium as they were on the terrestrial globe. He conducted his pupil to his class at once and presented him to the master. "Here is a new day scholar, Monsieur Tavernier.
I have a notion I can tell a poet that gets himself up just as I can tell a make-believe old man on the stage by the line where the gray skullcap joins the smooth forehead of the young fellow of seventy. You'll confess to a rhyming dictionary anyhow, won't you? I would as lief use that as any other dictionary, but I don't want it.
She stopped before the bed that had not been slept in. She returned to the living room, and gazed at the withered petals lying round the gourd. The doorway framed an undersized, obese old man who wore a skullcap of black silesia. He was the janitor. "Where is Mr. Teck?" "Mr. Teck!" the janitor exclaimed in a shocked voice. The words tumbled out of her mouth: "He was here yesterday, surely.
And the very last one of all was clad in a bath robe and wore a black skullcap. Perhaps no one in all Gilead, or indeed wherever the message of the angels might reach in the hearts of men that night, had grasped the inner meaning of their song as the old Dean.
His disordered dress, his straggling grayish hair that hung from beneath the dirty black skullcap around his misshapen ears, his face, yellow in parts and irregularly flushed in others, as though it were beginning to be scorched from within, his unwashed hands, every detail of his appearance, in short, proclaimed his total degradation.
The rest lay in the hands of the gods, and in the speed of him who two days since they had called “Glaucon the Traitor.” The messenger came from the cabin, half stripped, on his head a felt skullcap, on his feet high hunter’s boots laced up to the knees. He had never shone in more noble beauty.
And even that ruined and befouled house which in dull weather was repulsively ugly seemed quietly beautiful now, in the clear, motionless brilliance. A French corporal, with coat unbuttoned in a homely way, a skullcap on his head, and a short pipe in his mouth, came from behind a corner of the shed and approached Pierre with a friendly wink. "What sunshine, Monsieur Kiril!" Just like spring!"
And when Faversham turned to look at the contents of the room, he saw Melrose in his skullcap, poking about among a medley of black objects on the floor and in a open cupboard, his withered cheeks ghastly in the sudden daylight. "What are they?" asked Faversham, wondering. "Silver," was the sharp reply. "Some of the finest things known."
"Aunt Dilsey," said he, "’pears to me you have an uncommon good form, for one as plump and healthy-like as you are." Aunt Dilsey was quite sensitive whenever her size was alluded to, and she replied rather sharply: "You git along, you bar’s ile skullcap. ’Twon’t be healthy for you to poke fun at me." "’Pon my word," said the mischievous Rondeau, "I ain’t poking fun at you. I do really think so.
I had expected to see an elderly lady, but not quite so venerable a one as Mrs. Jameson proved to be; a rather short, round, and massive personage, of benign and agreeable aspect, with a sort of black skullcap on her head, beneath which appeared her hair, which seemed once to have been fair, and was now almost white. I should take her to be about seventy years old.
