It was nice to have on everything fresh; to have got her feet into rosetted slippers instead of heavy balmoral boots; to feel the lightness and grace of her own movement as she went downstairs and along the halls in floating folds of delicate barége, after wearing the close, uncomfortable traveling-dress, with the sense of dust and fatigue that clung about it; to have a little flutter of bright ribbon in her hair, that she knew was, as Elinor said, "the prettiest part of her."
Never had the latter seen Bessie look as lovely, as she did to him then in her simple traveling-dress of black, which brought out so clearly the dazzling purity of her complexion, and seemed to intensify the deep blue of her large, sad eyes. "Oh, Bessie!" he exclaimed, taking her hand and putting it under his arm, "how can I let you go? Where is Mrs.
Her traveling-dress, like ours, was of cirsacas, but ours was cotton, while hers was silk, in broad rays of gray and blue; and as the weather was a little cool that morning, she had exchanged the unfailing casaquin for a sort of camail to match the dress, and trimmed, like the capotte, with a line of white fur.
Her traveling-dress, although unostentatious, was tasteful and well-fitting; a slight pallor from her fatiguing journey, and, perhaps, from some absorbing thought, made her beauty still more striking. She gave even an air of elegance to the faded, worn adornments of the room, which it is to be feared it never possessed in Miss Kitty's occupancy. Again she glanced at the clock.
A bright, laughing face, prettily framed round by a black veil passed over the head and tied under the chin a traveling-dress of a nankeen color, studded with blue buttons and trimmed with white braid a light brown cloak over it little neatly-gloved hands, which seized in an instant on one of mine and on one of Owen's two dark blue eyes, which seemed to look us both through and through in a moment a clear, full, merrily confident voice a look and manner gayly and gracefully self-possessed such were the characteristics of our fair guest which first struck me at the moment when she left the postchaise and possessed herself of my hand.
What wine that gentleman possesses!" "Was it a young lady, Triplet?" "Not more than two-and-twenty, I should say. "In a traveling-dress?" "I could not see her dress, madam, for her beauty brown hair, blue eyes, charming in conversation " "Ah! What did she tell you?" "She told me, madam Ahem!" "Well, what did you tell her? And what did she answer?"
"Good girl," said the old lady, following Rose into a corner, and patting her approvingly on the cheek with her fan; "good girl, you have looked well this morning you have done credit to my son's taste. Indeed, you have pleased me, child! Now go upstairs, and get on your traveling-dress, and count on my maternal affection as long as you make Charles happy."
They were seated on the sofa, the black broadcloth coat-sleeve encircling the slender waist of the gray traveling-dress, and the jetty moustache in equally affectionate proximity to the glossy curls. 'Are you tired, dearest? 'No, love, not much. But you are, arn't you? 'No, darling. Kiss, and a pause. 'Don't it seem funny? said the lady. 'What, love? 'That we should be married.
Laura, rosy as a bride should be, and actually attractive to me for the first time in her life, sat in her traveling-dress trying to look matter-of-fact, and discussing time-tables with her bridegroom, who seemed to find less and less of dream and more of the actual in the situation, calm returning with the cutaway.
Here were this young lady and his friend, who had known each other for three days, perhaps, in the most casual way, and her friends had her already as good as married to him and off on a wedding journey. All that Mr. King said, after apparent deep cogitation, was, "I suppose if it were here it would have to be in a traveling-dress," which the women thought frivolous.
