"If he gets a topcoat that will hide the threadbare jacket you talk of, and that will serve well enough in the office for a year to come, or more." "You said, Mr Fluke, that I was to do as I chose," exclaimed Kezia, looking her master in the face. "You are a man of your word, and always have been from your youth upwards, and I, for one, will not let you break it in your old age.
But I'm going to tell you, right now, about a party I went to there, and you can see for yourself what Vicky Van was like. "How late you're going out," said Winnie, as I slithered into my topcoat. "It's after eleven." "Little girls mustn't make comments on big brothers," I smiled back at her. Win was nineteen and I had attained the mature age of twenty-seven.
I choose to get Owen a new suit and a topcoat, so say no more about the matter." The next morning Kezia appeared in her bonnet and shawl as Owen was about to start. "Let the old man go on first, I am going with you," she said. Mr Fluke was never a moment behind time in starting from home, and he knew that Owen could easily overtake him.
"Are you disengaged?" he asked. Whether it was that I sympathized with him he had no topcoat or umbrella or whether I was guided by Fate I know not, but as he spoke I determined to give up my dreary vigil for that night. Pardieu! but certainly it was Fate again! "Well, I suppose I am, sir," I said, and asked him where he wanted to go. He gave an address not five hundred yards from my own rooms!
On a November evening when Kennicott was in the country she answered the bell and was confused to find Erik at the door, stooped, imploring, his hands in the pockets of his topcoat. As though he had been rehearsing his speech he instantly besought: "Saw your husband driving away. I've got to see you. I can't stand it. Come for a walk. I know! People might see us.
He threw some dust over the topcoat, which he had found time to unhook from the ante-chamber and button over his ball costume, and going to Chapelle-en-Serval he knocked loudly at the door of the only inn in the place. The host opened. "My friend," said Andrea, "I was coming from Montefontaine to Senlis, when my horse, which is a troublesome creature, stumbled and threw me.
There he saw what he wanted to see a tall man in a wide-brimmed soft dark hat and a long dark topcoat going up the short flight of steps that led from the pavement into the building.
It's it's the most positive proof of your friendship for him that you should have been so angered. Deuce take it, I'd give anything if this hadn't happened!" "How did it happen?" asked Griffith. "Sit down No; no chance of his coming out now." Lord James slipped off his heavy topcoat, and seated himself, his dress clothes and immaculate linen offering an odd contrast to the shabby room.
It seemed as if the East had come to meet the West when these two stood together, the one in travelling furs, handsome and distinguished, with his strong, cultured face and carriage of authority, a characteristic type of his profession; and the other more marvellously dressed than ever, for Drumsheugh's topcoat had been forced upon him for the occasion, his face and neck one redness with the bitter cold; rough and ungainly, yet not without some signs of power in his eye and voice, the most heroic type of his noble profession.
'I was considerin' your case the feck of yesterday, and I've brought the best I could do for ye in the gig. I wish ye were more respectable clad, but a good topcoat will hide defeecencies. From behind the gig's seat he pulled out an ancient Gladstone bag and revealed its contents.
