"'Mr., you mean: he's probably dropped the 'Captain. He was only a 'temporary." "For all that, he has stuck to his prefix," said Laura smiling. "Lucian chaffed him about it. But Lawrence was always rather a baby in some ways: clocked socks to match his ties, and astonishing adventures in jewellery, and so on. Oh yes, I knew him very well indeed when I was a girl. Mr. and Mrs.
It had dainty ruffles around the bottom that barely reached her ankles, and showed the clocked and embroidered stockings and elegant slippers laced back and forth with golden cord, and a buckle that sparkled with gems like the combs. Even royalty condescended to wear imitation jewels, so why should not the lower round?
But it is not proper to kiss outside of one's family, and now thou art growing a large girl and may see many gallants. So be wise and careful." Patty did her hair high on her head, but Madam Wetherill bade her take it down again and tie it with a ribbon. And her white muslin dress was short and scant, just coming to her ankles and showing the instep of her pretty clocked stockings.
"How'd you get in here?" "Back door." "The back door? We unlock one of the most important secrets of space and time, and you walk in through my back door?" "We, uh... lost a clipboard." Denny stared for a moment before throwing the empty packing box to the floor. "Oh, Lord. Who has it?" "Remember Tom? He clocked Forrester at Popeye's. Took his clipboard.
Near the other entrance, comparing notes upon fall wheat-sowing or corn-gathering, was a cluster of farmers in shirt sleeves, homespun trousers and well-greased shoes.

As one, they crossed the fingers of both hands. "Ready, Corbett!" called Strong. "You'll be clocked from the second you're on range. One hundred feet seventy-five fifty twenty-five ten time!"
It lies aside from the great exchange which looks like a scene from Romeo and Juliet in the moonlight, from the town-hall from whose clocked and gilded cupola ring sweet chimes at midnight, and whence, throned above the city, a golden Britannia, in the sight of all men, is seen visibly ruling the waves while in the square below the death of Nelson is played all day in stone, with a frieze of his noble words about the pedestal.
After supper he sat in a wicker chair on the lawn with Tasper Britt, who was wearing a new suit of white flannel and who scowled when Vona passed along the walk without even a glance in that direction, though Britt had twitched up his trousers leg to show a particularly handsomely clocked sock. Mr. Harnden did a lot of talking that evening.
Fox, and turned Quaker, no doubt he would have abjured ruffles and a periwig, and have forsworn swords, lace-coats, and clocked stockings.
