Evelyn in her morning wrapper, and only stopping at the bell-handle, came up to the dormeuse and stooping down kissed Fleda's forehead, with so much tenderness that it won a look of most affectionate gratitude in reply. "Fleda my dear, we set you a sad example. But you won't copy it. Joe, breakfast. Has Mr. Evelyn gone down town?" "Yes, ma'am, two hours ago."
I said this to see if she had any reason to doubt the future. I was amply rewarded. "Anything fresh? How could there be anything fresh, when she is perfectly innocent?" Suddenly, a thought seemed to strike her. Wheeling round in her seat till her lovely, perfumed wrapper brushed my knee, she asked: "Why didn't they ask me more questions?
"You can figure out what profit you would have made on your contract if the ditch had been built and I'll pay you that. Then you can call off your crew." "Oh, I'll let you down easy, Lee. That wasn't worrying me any," was the rejoinder. "I was just thinking " But his words broke off there, and he again gave his attention to the cigar wrapper that persisted in coming loose.
His shirt of checked linen, not often washed, and his neck entirely bare, with the lower garment consisting of wide linen trousers. With the use of stockings he appears totally unacquainted, wrapping his feet in linen rags.

The bed was mashed and disordered by the weight of guests' hats and wraps that had lain there.

It required much urging with Lucille before she would attempt an entrance into the dining-room.
Across the foot of his couch lay folded an invalid's red hospital wrapper; beside his bed stood the slippers.

Berkley could just make out the outlines of the nearer buildings, and of tall trees around.
A man appeared dressed in a woman's wrapper and hat, and capered around the fire to the accompaniment of shrieks of obscene laughter. There was a continuous sound of rending and crashing from within the store. The trader in Ambrose groaned to witness the destruction of good weapons and cloth stuffs and food. Some one would suffer for the lack of it in the winter.
