lace-curtain

The last time a Pope addressed the parliament in Strasbourg was in 1988 when an Iron Curtain still divided the continent.

She walked away toward another door, which was masked with a curtain that she lifted.

On his head was the second-hand hat of some parvenu's coachman, gold lace, cockade and all.

I seized the opportunity to watch what I supposed would be a most interesting interview, from behind a curtain.

C was a Captain, all covered with lace; D was a drunkard, and had a red face.

She thrust a bare, white arm from the curtain which shielded her open door, and received the cup from his hands.
