Sam Sothern played a "swell" and stole a fish. Louis Freear, a housemaid, and all the leading men appeared as policemen. No one had more than a line to speak which just gave the audience time to recognize him or her.
Falconer, because he's the senior partner in Phil's firm: and then I'm going to have Delia Spaulding and Minnie Lathrop, because they'll make a good exhibition, they're so stylish." On and on Gertrude went, talking of white satin and tulle and lace and bridal veils and receptions.
Except the Fergusons', hers was the only house in the city with rooms large enough to dance in, and that ball is still the most dazzling I can remember. I wore a rose-colored tulle skirt with a peasant waist of rose-colored satin, and father, for a great surprise, had given me a pair of pink silk stockings.

Nothing stands out to me more distinctly, with its pleasures and pains, than the visit to Erymanth Castle from our arrival in the dark the lighted hall the servants meeting us the Australians' bewilderment at being ushered up to our rooms without a greeting from the host my lingering to give a last injunction in Eustace's ear, "Now, Eustace, I won't have Harold's hair greased; and put as little stuff as you can persuade yourself to do on your pocket-handkerchief" orders I had kept to the last to make them more emphatic; then dashing after the housekeeper, leaving them to work my great room, where it was a perfect journey from the fire to the toilet-table my black lace dress, and the silver ornaments those dear nephews had brought me from London and in the midst of my hair-doing dear little Viola's running in to me in one of her ecstacies, hugging me, to the detriment of Colman's fabric and her own, and then dancing round and round me in her pretty white cloudy tulle, looped up with snowdrops.
Fifty or sixty bon soirs and charme de vous voir's occupy some time; but their Majesties kept their eyes on the Grand Marechal, and he kept his eye on the clock. The Empress looked lovely. She wore a beautiful gown, a white-spangled tulle, with a superb tiara of diamonds, and on her neck a collier of huge pearls.
With excellent taste, Claudia had on this occasion avoided display in her own personal appointments. She wore a snow-white, mist-like tulle over white glacé silk, that floated cloud-like around her with every movement of her graceful form. She wore no jewelry, but upon her head a simple withe of the cypress vine, whose green leaves and crimson buds contrasted well with her raven black hair.
