The officer whose collar ornaments were the winged staff and serpents of the medical branch, held what was left of the deck in his right hand and moistened the tip of his thumb against the tip of his tongue. "Reënforcements, major?" he inquired with a glance to the man at his left, and the poker face of the gentleman so addressed remained impervious to expression as the answer was given back: "No, I'll stand by what I've got here." If the utterance hung on a quarter second of indecision it was a circumstance that went unnoted, save possibly by a young man with the single bars of a lieutenant on his shoulder straps--and Spurrier gave no flicker of recognition of what had escaped the others.

The Chesterfield coat is a long, tailored overcoat. It arose along with the lounge suit as an alternative to the highly shaped coats it replaced, such as the frock overcoat with its heavy waist suppression using a waist seam. The Chesterfield has no horizontal seam or sidebodies, but can still be somewhat shaped using the side seams and darts. It can be single- or double-breasted, and has been popular in a wide variety of fabrics, typically heavier weight tweeds, or charcoal and navy, and even the camel hair classic. It has often been made with a velvet collar. These variations make it extremely versatile, so it can be worn with a city suit or even semi-formal dress, as well as casual sports jackets. It was a staple of smartly dressed men's wardrobes from the 1920s to 1960s, and is still very commonly worn. [mehr]

They handled her with expert ease. The weight of knees on her spine pinned her face down on the floor. They tied her wrists with care. Then roped her elbows so that her forearms were welded as one. They went away, laughing. The sound of the door and its locks was, for Corey Gibson, a knell of doom. Weeping, she stayed where they left her, hurt and shamed and without hope. Her breasts thrust against the stone floor without love. She guessed her nipples inverted, they too would sense despair. But after a space of minutes she struggled to her feet and went to the bench. There was no thought in her mind save that that her elbows were hurting, scorched by their bindings, tugging back her shoulders and her breasts. She tried to wriggle her arms and hands but could not. They were tied tight. She was helpless. The collar round her neck became a greater mockery than before. [mehr]

An Observant Traveller, Homing To England By The Ostend-Dover Packet In The April Of Some Five Years Ago, Relished The Vagaries Of A Curious Couple Who Arrived By A Later Train, And Proved To Be Both Of His Acquaintance. He Had Happened To Be Early Abroad, And Saw Them Come On. They Were A Lady Of Some Personal Attraction, Comfortably Furred, Who, Descending From A First-Class Carriage, Was Met By A Man From A Third- Class, Bare-Headed, Free In The Neck, Loosely Clad In Grey Flannel Trousers Which Flapped About His Thin Legs In The Sea-Breeze, A White Sweater With A Rolling Collar, And A Pair Of Sandals Upon Brown And Sinewy Feet Uncovered By Socks: These Two. The Man's Garniture Was Extraordinary, But Himself No Less So. He Had A Lean And Deeply Bronzed Face, Hatchet- Shaped Like A Hindoo's. You Looked Instinctively For Rings In His Ears.

I Was Born In London On The Eighteenth Of June, 1815. The Battle Of Waterloo Was Being Fought As I Entered This World. Thousands Were Giving Up Their Lives At The Moment That Life Was Being Bestowed Upon Me. My Father Was In That Great Battle. Would He Ever Return? My Mother Was But Eighteen Years Of Age. Anxiety For His Safety, The Exhaustion Of Giving Me Life Prostrated Her Delicate Constitution. She Died As I Was Being Born. I Have Always Kept Her Picture Beside Me. I Have Always Been Bound To Her By A Tender And Mystical Love. During All The Years Of My Life My Feeling For Her Could Not Have Been More Intense And Personal If I Had Had The Experience Of Daily Association With Her Through Boyhood And Youth. What Girlish Wistfulness And Sadness There Are In Her Eyes! What A Gentle Smile Is Upon Her Lips, As If She Would Deny The Deep Foreboding Of A Spirit That Peered Into A Perilous Future! Her Dark Hair Falls In Rich Strands Over Her Forehead In an Elfin And Elegant Disorder. Her Slender Throat Rises Gracefully From An Unloosened Collar. This Picture Was Made From A Drawing Done By A Friend Of My Father'S Four Months Before I Was Born. My Old Nurse Told Me That He Was Invalided From The War; That My Father Had Asked Him To Make The Drawing Upon His Return To London. Perhaps My Father Had Ominous Dreams Of Her Ordeal Soon To Be.

"Until this moment I have never fully realised how great an ass a man can be. When I think that this morning I scurried through what might have been a decent breakfast, left my comfortable diggings, and was cooped up in a train for seven hours, that I am now driving in a pelting rain through, so far as I can see for the mist, what appears to be a howling wilderness, I ask myself if I am still in possession of my senses. I ask myself why I should commit such lurid folly. Last night I was sitting over the fire with a book—for it was cold, though not so cold as this," the speaker shivered and dragged the collar of his overcoat still higher—"at peace with all the world, with Omar purring placidly by my side, and my soul wrapped in that serenity which belongs to a man who has long since rid himself of that inconvenient appendage—a conscience, and has hit upon the right brand of cigarettes, and now—" [mehr]

Engine Number 206, Narrow Gauge, Was Pushing, Or Rather Failing To Push, The Old-Fashioned Box-Plow Through The Crusted Drifts On The Uptilted Shoulder Of Plug Mountain, At Altitude Ten Thousand Feet, With The Mercury At Twelve Below Zero. There Was A Wind--The Winter Day Above Timber-Line Without Its Wind Is As Rare As A Thawing Christmas--And It Cut Like Knives Through Any Garmenting Lighter Than Fur Or Leather. The Cab Of The 206 Was Old And Weather-Shaken, And Ford Pulled The Collar Of His Buffalo Coat About His Ears When The Grunting Of The Exhaust And The Shrilling Of The Wheels On The Snow-Shod Rails Stopped Abruptly. "Gar-R-R!" Snarled Gallagher, The Red-Headed Irish Engineer, Shutting Off The Steam In Impotent Rage. "The Power Is Not In This Dommed Ould Camp-Kittle Sewin' Machine! 'Tis Heaven'S Pity They Wouldn'T Be Givin' Us Wan Man-Sized, Fightin' Lokimotive On This Ind Of The Line, Misther Foord." Ford, Superintendent And General Autocrat Of The Plug Mountain Branch Of The Pacific Southwestern, Climbed Down From His Cramped Seat On The Fireman'S Box And Stood Scowling At The Retracting Index Of The Steam-Gauge. When He Was On His Feet Beside The Little Irishman, You Saw That He Was A Young Man, Well-Built, Square-Shouldered And Athletic Under The Muffling Of The Shapeless Fur Greatcoat; Also, That In Spite Of The Scowl, His Clean-Shaven Face Was Strong And Manly And Good To Look Upon. "Power!" He Retorted. "That'S Only One Of The Hundred Things They Don'T Give Us, Mike. Look At That Steam-Gauge--Freezing Right Where She Stands!" [mehr]
