Presently, away ahead of me in the road, I saw a man standing near a one-horse wagon. He seemed to be engaged in some activity near the roadside, but I could not tell exactly what. As I hastened nearer I discovered that he was a short, strongly built, sun-bronzed man in working-clothes and with the shortest of short hair. I saw him take a shovel from the wagon and begin digging.
There are young men straighter and better built than any that the island produces, and poor old men more worn with toil and want than they ever become here. There are also faces among them that bear an expression of malice, others sparkling with energy, and others disfigured with great scars. Most of them are in working-clothes and only possess what they stand in.
On Sunday mornings the whole 'Gemeente' goes to church, from the Burgomaster to the poorest farm-labourer, and all are dressed in their best. The men of the village have put aside their working-clothes, and are attired in blue or black cloth suits with white shirt fronts and coloured ties.
Moreover, like all young girls, she longed for companionship, and believed that Mildred would now be more approachable. By and by Roger came from the barnyard in his working-clothes, and seeing no preparations for breakfast in the kitchen, exclaimed: "So we heathen must sit down to the second table to-day." "Yes, if you wish.
She has a lace bonnet with roses, a silk mantilla, a silk dress trimmed with velvet, a white skirt with sixteen tucks and an embroidered edge, a pair of cloth gaiters, underneath which are a pair of stockings without feet, the only pair in her possession. She has no under-linen, and sleeps at night in the working-clothes she wears in the day.
They were dressed in their ordinary mill or foundry working-clothes, and seemed, from their stealthy walk and crouching manner, to be out on no good or honest errand. Three of them slouched along with their hands deep in their pockets; the fourth carried a bag of some kind, which apparently was no burden to him, for it swung lightly backwards and forwards on two of his fingers.
"Sadie she heard a lady say damn once right out, a customer in the store, in a velvet suit " "Now stop that foolish dancing, Corinne." Kern stopped dancing. She still looked a little pale from her illness, which had cost her seven pounds. That morning she had donned her working-clothes expectantly, but she had changed since coming in, and that accounted for her favorite red dress.
A delicious marble Cupid appeared to have just alighted on his pedestal at the upper end of the room. The whole interior was Boris' work and mine. Boris, in his working-clothes of white canvas, scraped the traces of clay and red modelling wax from his handsome hands, and coquetted over his shoulder with the Cupid.
Before a sturdy-looking man dressed in working-clothes Cooper stopped for a moment and said, "Mr. C. W. Post and Mr. James Farley assure me that this is the rarest item in my collection." "Who is he?" I asked. "It is a union labourer who is worthy of his hire," Cooper said. I am convinced that the easiest business in the world must be the writing of epigrams on Woman.
He also is president of something in Paris. They were very agreeable, too." "And your Legion of Honour?" "Oh, my medal that M. le Président gave me! I keep that in a drawer. I do not wear it every day when I am in my working-clothes." "Have you ever been to Paris?" "No, monsieur." "They will make a great ado over you when you go." "I must stay in Gerbéviller.
