I'd put a canary-coloured pompon and a white aigrette in that bonnet, and" here she slipped a scarlet bird out of her own hat and stuck it into a fold of the crape Lucy was laying on to the old fashioned close frame "I'd make her an upper skirt with a tie-back, get scarlet stockings and low shoes, and" "Pho! you'd make the dear old soul look like Mother Hubbard!" cried another.
Nicholas, has made them "stuck up," so that it is not the poor girl in the cinders, nor the boy with a bundle of fagots now, but girls who wear button boots and tie-back skirts, and boys with fancy waists and striped stockings that are befriended by fairies, whom they do not need.
"Cut it off," he said, temptingly, "you've got lissors." There is no doubt whatever that in the circumstances Mrs. Lomax herself would have promptly given the much-desired article. But Miss Bibby had established herself as anxious caretaker of the household chattels as well as children. "Oh, darling!" she said, "I couldn't possibly. Mamma's pretty tie-back to trail in the dust!"
Likewise, when they played "drop the handkerchief," "blind-man," and "down on this carpet," Susie Darrow couldn't join, because her tie-back would hardly admit of sitting down, let alone racing in the woods; besides, the wind blew her white plume all up, and took the crimp out of her hair, and then she lost her lace handkerchief, and didn't receive much attention from handsome Ralph Tremayne; and altogether, she lost her temper, declared picnics a bore, and told May Moore that no one but romps ever came to them anyhow, which, considering that both she and May were in attendance, was a remark which might have been improved on.
I recall a brother, in a cutaway coat, and a daughter, in a tie-back, embraced in their grief and turning their faces away from their mother toward the spectator; and doubtless there were others whom to describe in their dress would render as grotesque.
