Headkerchiefed

All those who have visited Paris will have noticed, sitting on a stool at the corner of the Boulevard des Capucines and the Place de l’Opéra, which is just opposite the Café de la Paix, a weather-beaten, headkerchiefed old lady offering key[-]rings for sale, and displaying, as if to whip up the sluggish altruism of passers-by, two wooden legs.

The little red-headkerchiefed girl who attends upon them has two responsible duties.

“Again,” said Bellah, and still “again,” until the notes rang out lustily, and half a dozen head[-]kerchiefed old crones who had strayed in nodded with delight.

A large headkerchiefed woman came to the door to investigate the commotion.

Slyudianka, for example, the first town on the Trans-Baikal stretch of the line, is pure storybook Russia, with its distinctive green-and-blue wooden houses, the delicious smell of birch smoke in crisp air and headkerchiefed babas selling souvenirs and bits of food on the platform.
