A toque or a picture-hat make all the difference in the world to a woman's impressions, even of Paradise if the wind be ever more than a lovely zephyr there. Lady Turnour had insisted on changing her motoring hat for a Gainsborough confection which would, I was deadly certain, cause her to loathe Nîmes while memory should last; but the better part was mine.
Against the table stood a tall thin woman in black. Her face was lit by the rays escaping upward; a pale, firm, bland face, with rather prominent cheeks, loose grey hair above, surmounted by a toque.
He fished it out with his stick. It was a small black velvet toque with a band of white and black silk flowers round it. In one part the white flowers were besmeared with a dark brown stain. Matthews stared at the little hat in his hand with puckered brows. Then he called to Gordon. "Do you know that hat?" he asked, holding it up for the man to see. Gordon shook his head.
She turned toward him a glance from her tranquil eyes, which he did not understand. "Then you are going?" "Next week, Tuesday or Wednesday. I shall be away only ten days at most." She put on her sealskin toque, ornamented with a branch of holly. "Is it something that you can not postpone?" "Oh, yes. Fox-skins would not be worth anything in a month.
The long hours of Sunday, through which she had to wait, had filled her with misgiving. Now she looked so absurdly small in the mirror, her tousled hair so childish, no matter how much she tried to tuck it out of sight under the little dark blue toque, why would anyone, especially a manager of a Mill, listen to her?
One day she saw Aileen sweep in from her carriage, wearing warm brown furs, smart polished boots, a street-suit of corded brown wool, and a fur toque sharpened and emphasized by a long dark-red feather which shot upward like a dagger or a quill pen. Antoinette hated her. She conceived herself to be better, or as good at least. Why was life divided so unfairly?
Furnese, ma'am, I hope you'll step in and drink a cup of tea." Joanna climbed down and kissed Ellen her cheek was warm and moist, and her hair hung rough about her ears, over one of which the orange toque, many times set right, had come down in a final confusion. Ellen on the other hand was as cool as she was white and her hair lay smooth under a black velvet fillet.
Despite the deluge, not a single raindrop touched her the plumes on her toque were splendidly erect and curly, her shoe-buckles sparkled, her patent leathers were spotless, whilst the cloth of her coat and skirt looked as sheeny as if they had but just come from Keeley's. Anxious to get another look at her face, I quickened my pace, and, darting past her, gazed straight into her countenance.
I wanted them for a twenty-dollar velvet toque to match my new suit. If they are gathered from the ground, really, I couldn't use them." "Only in spots!" said Elnora. "They don't just cover the earth. Phoebe Simms's peacocks are the only ones within miles of Onabasha, and they moult but once a year. If your hat cost only twenty dollars, it's scarcely good enough for those quills.
