Now Marjorie's pink voile was one of her favorite dresses, and she had counted upon wearing it in the evenings all winter. But it was not really expensive, and she felt that she would gladly part with it if it would effect a reconciliation. The sweater would be a weightier matter; it had been a birthday gift from her father.
"I was goin' to give him a bust or two with the pistol," the trainer explained, "but, when we got over t'other side, 'Raggy, ses he, 'it's blawin' a bit chilly. I think I'll ha' a sweater. There's one on my box, ain't there? So in I coomes for the sweater, and it weren't on his box, and, when I found it and got back he weren't there. They'd seen nowt o' him in t' house, and he weren't nowhere."
It was Monkey Brand's cause of complaint against the young man that he was too simple; but if his suspicions were difficult to rouse, once roused they were not easily appeased. He was up and away next morning before even Boy and Albert were about. Dressed in a sweater and gray flannel trousers, he swung up the hill.
The Oriental who stood beside him bent down and touched the mark as if trying to discover if it were real. He called out something to his companion and a flow of words passed between them. Teeny-bits stood up stiffly and began to pull on his torn sweater, while the two Chinese watched him with fascinated eyes. "Why did you bring me here?" he demanded.

All you're thinking about is getting the gold cross into your patrol. What do you suppose he cares about money a fellow that can do things like that?
She waved her hand to Miss Lucy and the children, up at the window, who looked astonished to see her walking. Laughing at their surprise, she flourished her sweater and the little bundle containing her nightgown. Then shrubbery hid them from view. As she went by Colonel Gresham's, she wondered how soon David would be living there.
"Sarah Howland, I saw Inez marking her card. Yes, she is sweet in spite of her name. Rather a pity sponsors cannot show discrimination. Here is your sweater. Better take it; the wind whistles. I'll pull my riding cap down as a disguise. It takes in most of this-wig," Jane was struggling to stuff her bright tresses into the pocket of her black velvet jockey cap.
Wright, whose hands were busily employed knitting a sweater for one of her girls while her eyes were glancing from person to person. Her foot tapped constantly while her knitting needles flew. One felt that she was doing some kind of work with that tapping foot. "Disband, indeed!" she whispered sibilantly.
A single blanket between one's body and a board does not make the board much softer. Neither is a tightly rolled sweater an exact equivalent for a feather pillow.
