  • Word Usage
    "The jewels were laid away in their velvet cases -- the ribbons folded and laid aside -- the rich robe placed in the armoire, and the frilled and embroidered _robe de nuit_ placed upon her, and fastened with its gold buttons about her neck and wrists, with no more motion on the part of that passive figure, than if it had been a doll in the hands of a child."
