The face seemed to have a background of gold; for a wonderful mass of wavy hair clustered down from the blue-veined brow to the bit of white throat visible, where a gauzy piece of neck wear had been loosened. Evidently, this was the statuary described by the whiskered youth. But the statuary breathed. A bloom of living apple-blossoms was on the cheeks. The brows were black and arched.
"You may strip to the hide or you may sleep with your boots on, and no questions asked. Gener'ly speaking, gentlemen prefer to retain a layer of artificial covering but you ain't troubled much with the bugs, are you, Bill?" He leveled this query at the frowsy, whiskered man, who had awakened and was blinking contentedly. "I'm too alkalied, I reckon," Bill responded.
"I'm used to that story it's whiskered and hoary," replied Mrs. Granger, "you want to come in, and then when you enter, in tones of a Stentor you'll brag of your polish for silver and tin. Or maybe you're dealing in unguents healing, or dye for the whiskers, or salve for the corns, or something that quickens egg-laying in chickens, or knobs for the cattle to wear on their horns.
The criminal in the dock, the flat-headed murderer, bending over to speak to his advocate, who turns a whiskered, professional, anxious head to caution and remind him. tells a large, terrible story and awakes a recurrent shudder. We see the gray court-room, we feel the personal suspense and the immensity of justice.
A large, exuberantly whiskered Frenchman in picturesque rags gave me his hand and helped me down with a manner worthy of assorted dukes and counts; and there was a little boy who sat on a thwart and looked wistfully at me. "De leetle bye, heem want go, if mademoiselle heem no mind," said the Frenchman, bashfully, with a very distinct look of appeal.
No record of Indian sport, however, would be complete without some allusion to the kingly tiger, and no one can live long near the Nepaul frontier, without at some time or other having an encounter with the royal robber the striped and whiskered monarch of the jungle.
"Is it because I went across the road to that little woman in Tambov?" he asked suddenly. The whiskered face answered composedly: "No. It is because you went out of your rooms and slept on de stairs." "Because" he seemed puzzled "but that is a thing why, any gentleman would do it." "Dose are my instrugtions," said the man behind the pigeon-hole. "I see."
Whiskered corporals, in thick dirty boots, and young tradesmen, in long great coats, led off their respective femmes de chambre and grisettes, with an elegance, which is not to be surpassed in the jewelled birth night ball room. Nothing could exceed the sprightly carelessness, and gay indifference which reigned throughout.
When The Wet Blanket returned to his lodge in the land of Sitting Bull, he doubtless described Oxford life in his own way to the other Braves, while the squaws hung upon his words and the papooses played around. His account would vary, in many ways, from that of "Whiskered Tomkins from the hail Of seedy Magdalene."
Our hurrying stops soon brought us in front of one of these establishments, whose lamp told us in plain letters that "faro" was played inside. It was the first that offered; and, without hesitating a moment, I entered, followed by D'Hauteville. We had to climb a wide stairway, at the top of which we were received by a whiskered and moustached fellow in waiting.
