The door opened and his mother appeared in her nightgown, barefooted, and threw her arms round his neck and sobbed. She was feverish. She kissed her son and moaned through her despairing sobs: "Don't go! Don't go! I implore you! I implore you! My dear, don't go!... I shall die.... I can't, I can't bear it!..." He was alarmed and upset.
At Douglas, which they had just left on the morning of this great wapinshaw, they were charged awful picture of depravity! with the theft of a silver spoon and a nightgown.
"Why, Aunt Mary," Jack cried, wondering if her nose was deaf, too, or whether she didn’t feel hungry, "don’t you see your tea? Or don’t you want any?" Aunt Mary thumbed her trunk key. "I want a nightgown," she said; "maybe I’ll want something else later. Maybe." "You’re not going to bed!" She drew herself up. "I guess I can if I want to; I guess I can. There’s the bed and here’s me."
Tears were beating up against her throat and there was a knot of sobs behind her breathing. She wanted to throw herself on the warm slope of terrace and kick into it. That vision of that large bone button at the throat of that little muslin nightgown somehow became the symbol of all her misery!
Then, realizing that he was in his nightgown, and feeling no pain anywhere, his first thought was to get back to his room and find some more presentable clothing. The stairways at Encina Hall are at the ends of the building. He made his way to one of them, and went up the four flights, only to find his room no longer extant.
"Oh, you can buy photographs and souvenirs, and candy and drugs, I expect." Angela shook her head. "I don't want to buy them. Do you think I could find a a nighty?" "A 'nighty'?" "A nightgown.

One day, when Anselmus, at the stroke of twelve, had as usual mounted the stairs, he found the door through which he commonly entered, standing locked; and Archivarius Lindhorst came forward from the other side, dressed in his strange flower-figured nightgown. He called aloud: "Today come this way, dear Anselmus; for we must to the chamber where Bhogovotgita's masters are waiting for us."
He must have the armchair from the best room below, my mother said, that he might sit in comfort, as all doctors should, while he felt her pulse; he must have a refreshing nip from the famous bottle of Jamaica rum, which had lain in untroubled seclusion since before I was born, waiting some occasion of vast importance; and he must surely not take her unaware in a slatternly moment, but must find her lying on the pillows, wearing her prettiest nightgown, which was thereupon newly washed and ironed and stowed away in the bottom drawer of the bureau against his unexpected coming.
"It's the weather. Have them send you up a pot of black tea." "When you've got neuralgy over your right eye," observed Sadie Corn grimly, "there's just one thing helps that is to crawl into bed in a flannel nightgown, with the side of your face resting on the red rubber bosom of a hot-water bottle. And I can't do it; so let's talk about something cheerful. Seen Jo to-day?"

Not knowing what to do with him she threw him with a laugh into the still flaming grate.
