Handkerchiefed

[…]whatever was lost in elegance, was compensated in another point of view: their necks, of the most luxuriant prominence, ‘[…]’ were modestly handkerchiefed to their throats;[…].

How different from the eloquence of your white handkerchiefed whiners—your ring-displaying, faultering, fawning, frothy weavers of pathetic periods—your soft, simpering saints, from whose mouths the religion of the Bible falls diluted and dulcified, like the meretricious moonlight burdens of an Irish melody!

Two figures approached, handkerchiefed and great-coated for travel with a goodly appendage of trunks and portmanteaus, partly borne by themselves, and partly carried by a porter.

Five of the famously handkerchiefed Mothers [of the Plaza de Mayo], whose children disappeared during a state crackdown on dissent during the 1976-83 junta, were on hand Thursday night for the last of two shows the band performed before more than 60,000 fans.
