'Did you happen to glance at the address on the wrapper of the one that came to you? 'My valet opens all the papers and irons them. Mr. Van Torp looked very bored as he said this, and he stared stonily at the pink and green waistcoat which his visitor's unfastened coat exposed to view. Hundreds of little gold beads were sewn upon it at the intersections of the pattern.
His eyes alone, grey and distrustful under their withered lids, were moving from the window to Emily, who in a wrapper was walking up and down, squeezing a rubber ball attached to a scent bottle. The room reeked faintly of the eau-de-Cologne she was spraying. "All right!" said Soames, "it's not a fire. The Boers have declared war that's all." Emily stopped her spraying.
The litham is nothing more than a thin wrapper, which is first wound round the head, and then made to cover the whole of the forehead and partially the eyes, and the lower part of the face, especially the mouth. The mouth and the eyes are the two grand objects to protect in The Desert, and in Saharan travelling, equally against heat and cold, and wind.
Allan, meanwhile, glancing in, saw nothing in the gray gloom but a small figure in a well-known wrapper, stretched wearily upon the couch. "Poor little mother," he thought. "She is quite tired out." He went up to her intending to bestow a filial caress upon her cheek, but before his design could be accomplished he was drawn close by a single arm around his neck, and repeatedly kissed.
She is in a large and dingy wrapper, very different from the lady who had presented herself a few months back to my wife how different from the smiling Mrs. Mackenzie of old days! "He shall not go out of a winter day, sir," she breaks out. "I have his mother's orders, whom you are killing. Mr. Pendennis!"
"Didst find this letter at the tavern?" demanded the squire. The groom looked at the wrapper held out to him, and replied, "Mayhaps." "And what took ye there against my orders?" Charles shrugged his shoulders, and then smiled. "Ask Hennion," he said. "What means he, Phil?" questioned the squire. "Now you've been an' told the whole thing," exclaimed Philemon, looking very much alarmed.
At length, in her snowy wrapper, she half reclined gracefully upon an equally snowy lounge, which she had ordered drawn to the darkest corner of the room. "Now, Johnny and Flora dear, you can go anywhere you please, until the girls come and lunch is served. Althea will stay and fan me, and perhaps I can sleep," said this selfish woman, languidly closing her eyes.
I said quietly: "I have got your shoe here." She made no sound and I continued: "You had better give me your foot and I will put it on for you." She made no movement. I bent low down and groped for her foot under the flounces of the wrapper. She did not withdraw it and I put on the shoe, buttoning the instep-strap. It was an inanimate foot. I lowered it gently to the floor.
Jurgis put the money on the table and the woman counted it and stowed it away. Then she wiped her greasy hands again and proceeded to get ready, complaining all the time; she was so fat that it was painful for her to move, and she grunted and gasped at every step. She took off her wrapper without even taking the trouble to turn her back to Jurgis, and put on her corsets and dress.
Without further ado Katherine sped back to her room working mentally for her friend as she went told Sadie her plan, and donned a loose wrapper; then, taking her Bible and "Science and Health," she hastened back to her patient.
