The glow of so much merrymaking kept the blood warm and the skin dry. The flour all came off the Pierrots' faces, the blue paper slashings of the drummer-in-chief hung in pulpy lumps against his gorgeous scarlet cloak. The trumpeters' feathers became streaky and bedraggled.
Her evening dress had given place to a pretty blue street suit with a short skirt white showing at her wrists, at her neck and through slashings in the coat over her bosom; and on her head was a hat to match. I looked at her feet the slippers had been replaced by boots. "And they're just right for her," said Alva, who was following my glance, "though I'm not so tall as she."
In the Seventh Maine the loss was still greater; of the one hundred and seventy men who went into the fight, one-half were killed or wounded; more than eighty of those noble forms were prostrated like the slashings in their own forests. The Thirty-third lost fifty in killed and wounded.
'If I had to account for it, I should say, hotter blood, cool nerve, quick brain. 'Hum. Where are we, then? 'We don't shine with the small sword. 'We had men neatly pinked for their slashings in the Peninsula. 'We've had clever Irishmen. 'Hot enough blood! This man Morsfield have you crossed the foils with him?
It will have to be made." "I think I have something at home that will do something that was used once for a kindred purpose. I think I can dress Bassanio as far as the slashings are concerned. The cap and plume we can manage here and I dare say your uncle has some of those old-fashioned long silk hose." "Did papa ever wear such things?" said Daisy.
We hastened up the path that had been tramped and dragged to the waterfall, got the lifters off the logs, and used them to help ourselves up over the rocks beside the waterfall. We hadn't bothered doing anything with the slashings, except to get them out of our way, while we were working.
Bob voiced his marvel, after a time. "It don't," said Welton. "The supplies are all hauled while the ground is frozen. A man goes by hand now." In the swamps and bottom lands it was a case of slip, slide and wallow. The going was trying on muscle and wind. To right and left stretched mazes of white popples and willows tangled with old berry vines and the abattis of the slashings.
She had drifted, not all unconsciously, into a certain picturesque uniformity of dress and could smile now over the large, cart-wheel hats, coarse embroideries, and short-vamp shoes; neither was she often above mentally contrasting herself in her annual seventy-five dollar suit of dark-blue serge, natty sailor hat, and impeccable blouse, with a certain coffee-colored linen with its slashings of coffee-dipped embroidery, and the blouse that twirled with yards and yards of cotton Valenciennes.
For a long time his direction took him through slashings, second-growth timber, and cleared lands; he followed rough roads and worn trails and passed cabins that were dark and without life in the silence of midnight. Twice a dog caught the stranger scent in the air and howled; once he heard a man's voice, far away, raised in a shout. Then the trails grew rougher. He came to a deep wide swamp.
If you go to the trenches you creep through tunnels and cavities until you are permitted to peer through a peephole, and you see yellow dirt some yards away. You may hear bullets over your head, you may hear shells passing, but what you see is a hillside with some slashings. That is the enemy.
