Diana talked herself into the most rose-colored plans for Fanny Merton's benefit so voluminous, indeed, that Mrs. Colwood had to leave her in the middle of them that she might go up-stairs and mend a rent in her walking-dress. Diana was left alone in the drawing-room, still smiling and dreaming.
At the time of that bitter parting, the child had seen her governess in the same walking-dress which she wore now. Mrs. Linley removed the hat and cloak, and laid them on a chair. "There is one other precaution which we must observe," she said; "I must ask you to wait in my room until I find that you may show yourself safely. Now come with me." Mrs.
A mass of blonde or chestnut hair, this sort of walking-dress or that, you might note the difference casually in a few hundred around you; but a sense of those myriads of other eyes and chignons and walking-dresses absorbed the impression in an instant, and left a dim, strange sense of loss, as if all women had suddenly become Woman.
But there was no doubt something in Daphne's personality which made life beside her too full of colour to be lightly abandoned. Daphne presently went upstairs to take off her walking-dress, and Mrs. Phillips, with a rather troubled face, began to tidy the confusion of letters she had left behind her. "I dare say the girls won't mind," said Madeleine Verrier, kindly. Mrs.
English "breakfast tea" kept nobody awake, and was the most delightful of appetizers. The cup of tea and a sandwich taken at five o'clock spoiled no one's dinner. The ladies of the house began these entertainments, modestly receiving in plain but pretty dresses; their guests were asked to come in walking-dress.

But, when he considered the risk of meeting with these ruffians, he could not resolve on parting with his arms. His walking-dress, though plain, had so much of a military character as suited not amiss with his having such a weapon.
My mother was half-reclining in an American rocking-chair, and shading her face from the fire with a hand-screen; Madame Bernard, who sat opposite to her, was holding her muff with one hand and gesticulating with the other; M. Termonde, in walking-dress, was standing with his back to the chimney, smoking a cigar, and warming the sole of one of his boots.
Take off your shawl, dear, and come and help me; it's a walking-dress." "I'm afraid I'm scarcely the person to help you in a matter of dress," answered Mrs. Warden. Good-natured Mrs. Abel stared at her; there was something disquieting in her tone, and she had a vast respect for her rich friend. "You remember I told you the other day that Warden had promised me that's to say" Mrs.
The accident disclosed not only the fact that she was riding in a man's saddle, but also a foot and ankle that her ordinary walking-dress was too short to hide. It was evident that her equestrian exercise was extempore, and that at that hour and on that road she had not expected to meet company.
"Thank you: I must not be so extravagant at present. May I look at something which will do for walking? You would not, I suppose, make a walking-dress for Langborough exactly as you would have made it in London?" "If you mean for walking about the roads here, it would differ slightly from one which would be suitable for London." "Will you show me what you have usually made for town?"
