I've a frock or two, and the new khaki things for to-morrow, in my suit-case, but nothing else. Brushes and combs and so on, I can get here I'm sure. But would the shops if any run to nighties?" "No," said Nick, gloomily. "I'm afraid they wouldn't, anyhow not the sort that deserves a nice pet name like that. But I'll get you one." "You can't," said Angela.
I won't fail this time, you'll see. The thing you want must exist somewhere within a radius of ten miles, and I'm going to lasso it." "But you didn't engage as a lassoer of nighties. You engaged as trail guide." "If anything is wanted along the trail, why then it's the business of the trail guide to get it. Don't you worry about your arrangements, Mrs. May." "I don't.
Fate has shaken us down to realities and my present perplexity is to get possession of six new milk-pans and that new barrel-churn, not to mention the flannelette I simply must have for the Twins' new nighties!... Saturday the Eleventh These imperturbable English! I didn't know whether I should take off my hat to 'em or despise 'em.
How the French manage to compose their landscape is too much for me. But at any of a thousand points the scene might have been photographed for a Corot, by getting a few good-looking girls in nighties to dance on the grass of the middle distance!
"His back'll be bad to-morrow if he lies on the floor." "The ugly man will make him go to bed, because if he doesn't they won't have anywhere to walk," she said, determined to save his arm at any cost. "D'you think so?" he asked eagerly. "Yes, quite sure. He'll be quite safe. Where's your nighty?" He darted into Number 15 and came back with a minute bundle. "I don't have to have nighties now.
I had just four hours for shopping, scurrying about after cook-books and golf-boots and table-linen and a chafing dish, and a lot of other absurd things I thought we'd need on the ranch. And then off we flew for the West, before poor, extravagant, ecstatic Dinky-Dunk's thirty-six wedding orchids' from Thorley's had faded and before I'd a chance to show Fanny my nighties! Am I crazy?
He, Peterkins, and all the dolls ran after the pack of dogs, turning the corner just as the dog catcher came running out of the house in his nightgown to see what was causing the trouble. He stopped in astonishment when he saw the string of dolls in white nighties pattering down the alley, for he could not imagine what they were.
She remembered that morning when Marcella came to the nursery to take the nighties from the dolls and dress them she had been cross. Raggedy Ann thought at the time "Perhaps she had climbed out of bed backwards!" For Marcella complained to each doll as she dressed them.
There were no children there, and it was night-time; but he addressed all who might be dreaming of the Neverland, and who were therefore nearer to him than you think: boys and girls in their nighties, and naked papooses in their baskets hung from trees. 'Do you believe? he cried. Tink sat up in bed almost briskly to listen to her fate.
Later the Feudal System provided natural scope for innumerable calls of this nature; visits, as we should now term them, because it was customary for the callers to bring their nighties or would have been if the callers had had any. The Dark Ages, curiously enough, lacked this garment of the dark.
