Her maid had just finished her hair and she wondered at herself that she should experience a sense of shyness and have to suppress an inclination to refuse to let him come in. And once any of these little intimate happenings would have given her joy! She kept Adams there, and hurried into her tea-gown and then walked towards the door. John had not spoken much, but stood by the fire.
The room was full of hyacinths and daffodils, and she herself looked like a spring flower, as she sat on the sofa among the green silk cushions, wrapped in a pale parma violet tea-gown. The butler announced "Captain Ardayre," and Denzil came in slowly, and murmured "How do you do?" But as soon as the door was closed upon him, he started forward, forgetting his stiff side.
Jasher looked as young as Dame Holda in the Venusberg. A very pretty room and a very charming hostess, was the verdict of the young gentlemen from the Fort, who came here to flirt when they were not serving their country. Mrs. Jasher in a tea-rose tea-gown for afternoon tea she always liked to be in keeping rang for that beverage dear to the feminine heart, and lighted a rose-shaded lamp.
You little witch!" he murmured in her ear, as he held her close to him. "Arthur!" she drew herself away from him. "Did I look pretty? Honour bright!" "Delicious! How often am I to say it?" "You'd better not. Don't wake the devil in me, Arthur! It's all this tea-gown. If you go on like this, I shall have to buy one like it." "Buy a dozen!" he said joyously.

She rose at Jack's entrance, and, extending her hand, greeted him with a most cordial smile. It was so good of him! She was so lonesome!
She stood beside her tall, immaculate husband, a short, rather stout, flabby-looking woman with a sallow face wherein keener eyes than Elsie's might have detected traces of former prettiness, and frowsy, ginger-colored hair that had been curled on an iron. She wore a dingy pink tea-gown bordered with swan's-down, cut rather low and revealing a yellow, scrawny neck.

When she returned, with the green cloth in one hand and a charming lavender crêpe tea-gown in the other, she approached Mrs.
