smock

One man in white smock and flowing beard waved a giant flag; another held a large silver icon above Georgescu's head.

He said: "When you've been sitting there since the crack of dawn in a smock waiting to have open heart surgery, however calm I tried to feel, you still get a bit nervous."

Beatrice was wearing her polished cotton, very girlish with the smocking across the bodice.

At one place, a German officer reported, “the whole village was in flames, cattle bellowed desperately in barns, half-burned chickens rushed about demented, two men in peasant smocks lay dead against a wall.”

He donned a chef’s smock this week to show a couple of them off, including a green salad with apple, almonds, blueberry vinaigrette — and roasted cicadas.
