"Poor Nathan Samuel!" he said to himself. "Poor Moses Nathan Modecai Samuel!" The door opened and Jona came in, clad in a betrayed-heroine tea-gown. She looked beautiful but tragic. "Jona," he cried, springing to his feet. She shrank back, covering her face with her hands. "Don't speak to me," she said. "Don't come near me. I'm a leper, a pariah, and an outcast."
"I don't see why she should not," replied Maria. Lily had hold of her arm and was nestling close to her. "Don't you, honest?" "No, dear. I said so." "You don't mind my coming to meet you and talk it over, do you, Maria?" "Of course I don't! Why should I?" asked Maria, almost angrily. "I thought you wouldn't. Maria, do you think a blue tea-gown or a pink one would be prettier?"
For she thought she wanted to write her letters to Mirko and tell him of her new name and place. So she put on a tea-gown, and at about half-past eight joined Tristram in the sitting-room. If they had not both been so strained their sense of humor would not have permitted them to refrain from a laugh. For here they sat in state, and, when the waiters were in the room, exchanged a few remarks.
"Then go and ask her if she will give me a cup of tea in a few minutes." And the man, a timorous German, went. A few minutes later Steinmetz, presenting himself at the door of the little drawing-room attached to Etta's suite of rooms, found the princess in a matchless tea-gown waiting beside a table laden with silver tea appliances.
As he dropped it back in its place his ear caught the sound of a familiar figure descending the stairway the figure of a woman of perhaps thirty-five, thoroughly conscious of her beauty, whose white arms flashed as she moved from beneath the flowing sleeves of a silk tea-gown that reached to her tiny satin slippers. She had gained the hall now, and noticing her husband came slowly toward him.
After the bills were paid and business was done, there was pleasure to follow, for there was a fitting-on at the dress-maker's, the fitting-on of a tea-gown, to be worn at winter-evening bridge-parties, which, unless Miss Mapp was sadly mistaken, would astound and agonize by its magnificence all who set eyes on it. She had found the description of it, as worn by Mrs.
"So this is the new tea-gown, if I mistake not!" observed Lucas in the pause. "Très chic! I suppose Laurencine's told you all about the chauffeur being run off with against his will by a passionate virgin. I couldn't start the car this morning myself." "You never could start a car by yourself, my boy," said George. "What's this about the passionate virgin?"
Lightmark had scarcely closed the door, against which he now stood in a black silence, with the air of a man turned to stone; Rainham's eyes had only fallen once upon the two figures on the sofa Eve crushed in a corner, a sorrowful, dainty shape in the silk and lace of her pretty tea-gown, with the white drawn face of a scared child; Kitty Crichton, in her cloak and hat, bending forward a little, the hectic flush of strong excitement colouring her checks, that were already branded by her malady when he underwent a moral revolution.
Then she indicated which bell rang into my maid's room and which for the house-maids, and with a few more polite wishes for my comfort, and the information that the room prepared for Augustus was some way down the corridor, on the right, she left me in McGreggor's hands. With great promptness the luggage had been carried up, so I was not long getting into a tea-gown.
"Join your hands and circle to the left!" Around they went in a giddy whirl and starched petticoats stood out like hoopskirts. "First lady swing with the right hand round with the right hand gent!" The train of Mrs. Abe Tutts's diaphanous "tea-gown" laid out on the breeze, thereby revealing the fact that she was wearing Congress gaiters, comfortable but not "dressy."
