Instead of a "dress suit" she wore a black silk cape, and simulated the effect of diplomatic knee breeches by having her black silk dress fall barely below the knees...
...desire is to act. The Sejm was not in session, but there might be some politicians skulking in the Parliament building. There were. A committee, sparsely attended, was mulling drowsily over the War Department appropriations in the budget. Suddenly the door flew open. A big, fierce-mustached man, clad in an old faded uniform, strode in. He sat down at the committee table, folded his arms, scowled, sniffed the air contemptuously, said nothing...
