The door opened, and other officers came in with waterproofs sagging round their legs and top-boots muddy to the tags, abashed because they made pools of water on polished boards. "Pardon, Madame." "Ca ne fait rien, Monsieur." There was a klip-klop of horses' hoofs in the yard.
Lounsbury opened his mouth several times. The same number of times he shut it again. "I see," he said at last, clearly. "Good. And here's some clothes of mine. They're not handsome, and they'll not fit, but they'll keep you dry." He dumped the larger portion of his own waterproofs on the ground at Lounsbury's feet. In the two days that followed, the pack train crossed the divide into Clearwater.
The mother-in-law of a lawyer, called Kvashin, and his wife, Nadyezhda Filippovna, dressed in waterproofs and shawls, were sitting over the dinner table in the dining-room.
Captain Ambrose's drowned, or we'd a-seen him! That feller in the slouch hat is Bart Holt! Gimme that line!" He was stripping off his waterproofs now ready for a plunge into the sea. With the awful words ringing in his ears Captain Holt made a spring from the dune and came running toward Parks, who was now knotting the shot-line about his waist.
Consequently the people were unspoiled, and it was quite refreshing to be courteously received, furnished with a trout supper and excellent beds, and to pay therefor an honest price. The morning was lowering, and we had rain part of the day; but, thanks to our waterproofs and carriole aprons, we kept comfortably dry.

This was no warm and grateful tropical rain, but a driving, chilling storm straight out from the high mountains.
Here is my seat, No. 10: that girl has piled all her waterproofs on it. Why don't she take them away quicker? and I wish she wouldn't grope about my feet for her overshoes. I never sat right next to the orchestra before. What a convenient railing to hang my umbrella on! Provoking it should rain so to-day.
And eight minutes after his departure he was back again, dressed, cloaked and ready. "Got your pistol, sir?" "Yes," said Kirby. "Thought I'd bring mine along. You never know, you know." Together they climbed into the colonel's dog-cart, well smothered under waterproofs.
With paper boats, dolls and waterproofs they stole softly down the front stairs, and shutting the door after them very gently, ran around the house to the hogshead. The roses were heavy with rain, and the honeysuckle shook big drops on them, as they ran by. The boats went topsy-turvy over the falls, upsetting the dolls, who went careering down the stream, to the great delight of the children.
For one soul deeply moved and agitated often affects by electricity another in a receptive condition. Does not the atmosphere in a tempestuous mood thrill and disturb our nervous system? She was next to Bertie, and noted that, though concealed by rugs and waterproofs, his hand did not seek hers as of yore.
