midnight
It is done with here . ' ` What must I say , then ? ' ``` Ladies and MEN '' always . ' At this moment appeared in the stream of vehicles moving in the contrary direction a chariot presenting in its general surface the rich indigo hue of a midnight sky , the wheels and margins being picked out in delicate lines of ultramarine ; the servants ' liveries were dark-blue coats and silver lace , and breeches of neutral Indian red . The whole concern formed an organic whole , and moved along behind a pair of dark chestnut geldings , who advanced in an indifferently zealous trot , very daintily performed , and occasionally shrugged divers points of their veiny surface as if they were rather above the business . In this sat a gentleman with no decided characteristics more than that he somewhat resembled a good-natured commercial traveller of the superior class . Beside him was a lady with skim-milky eyes and complexion , belonging to the `` interesting '' class of women , where that class merges in the sickly , her greatest pleasure being apparently to enjoy nothing .
