Moreover, Caumont has invited good friends of mine, who would regret my absence." Fixing her toque on her head with a long pin, she frowned. "Is fox-hunting interesting?" "Oh, yes, very. The fox has stratagems that one must fathom. The intelligence of that animal is really marvellous. I have observed at night a fox hunting a rabbit. He had organized a real hunt.
That young woman was busy giving sundry touches to the charming toque with which she intended to electrify her young man on the following Sunday. "Maggie," said Elma, "I wish to speak to you." "Oh lor! miss, how you startled me," cried Maggie. She jumped up as she spoke, dropping Kitty's violets to the floor.
On Thursday afternoon Gloria and Anthony had tea together in the grill room at the Plaza. Her fur-trimmed suit was gray "because with gray you have to wear a lot of paint," she explained and a small toque sat rakishly on her head, allowing yellow ripples of hair to wave out in jaunty glory.
When you saw her Ladyship in flame-coloured satin and gorgeous toque and feathers, entering the drawing-room, as footmen along the stairs shouted melodiously, "Sir George and Lady Gorgon," you beheld in her company a small withered old gentleman, with powder and large royal household buttons, who tripped at her elbow as a little weak-legged colt does at the side of a stout mare.
But this time she didn't even try to defend herself. "Let's get ready at once," she said. "I'm going to put on my long travelling cloak, to cover up this dress, and wear my black toque, with a veil.

The greenish light burned brighter in his mismated eyes, which gazed intently at the top of her head as though it held something unearthly. "Take off your hat!" was his next command. She pulled off the toque. Her hair fell in a mass on her snow-blotched shoulders. Her captor advanced upon her. He reached out and satisfied himself by touch that something was not there which he dreaded.
She and Nina, by the way, furnished at the moment a typical illustration of the difference in appearance between European and American women. The contessa was wearing an untrimmed, black tailor-made costume with a very long train, a little fur toque to match a small neck piece, and a little sausage-shaped muff. Her diamond earrings were enormous, but not very good stones.
But they refused to admit what they had read there. He held out his hand to her. She took it without a word. They went back to the village, the towers of which they could see shaped like the pope's nose in the heart of the valley: one of the towers had an empty storks' nest on the top of its roof of mossy tiles, looking just like a toque on a woman's head.
At this moment there was a slight sensation amongst the familiars stationed near the door of the judgment-hall; and an individual who had just entered the court, and who wore the black robe and the cap or toque of a counselor, advanced toward the grand inquisitor.
