I suppose my little Topknot goes for surplusage," said Horace, who liked now and then to puzzle Dotty with a new word. He meant that Flyaway was of no use, but rather in the way. "No, she needn't do any such thing," returned Dotty. "Jump in, Fly, and sit on the bag."
Shanghai, scratching his topknot with his left claw, and looking wise, 'you see there are times when it's better to be on one side of the fence than the other. "'That's a wise remark, Mr. Shanghai, Mr. Fido snapped. 'You must have a great head; but what good will it do you in a race to the pond? Come on! I'll show you what can be done.
"I hate a big hoop and a monstrous topknot that pulls my hair, and a bunch of feathers that makes one look like an Indian sachem." She made such a pretty pouting mouth, like a rose half-blown, that madam laughed. "And then one can run around with Patty and tease the boys who sell pink calamus buds, and buy 'Peppery pot, smoking hot." She was such a good mimic it sounded exactly like the venders.
"Well, Topknot, 'haps they would, but 'haps I wouldn't. I can't have you dancing all over the car, in this style." Flyaways's lip quivered, and a tear started. Horace was moved. One of Fly's tears weighed a pound with him, even when it only wet her eyelashes, and wasn't heavy enough to drop. Will that do?" Fly thought it would.
The Dandie would appear to be closely related to the Bedlington Terrier. In both breeds we find the same indomitable pluck, the same pendulous ear, and a light silky "topknot" adorning the skull of each; but the Dandie was evolved into a long-bodied, short-legged dog, and the Bedlington became a long-legged, short-bodied dog!
Isn't it like the topknot of some fine old parakeet from Pernambukoko and oh, Father Rainbow, the maginta dress of her! Now I tell you, Doctor dear, I tell you the truth, what I know! She wears hoops, she does, the same as y'r grandmother used to. An' the bit of rose ribbon round her waist, hanging down behind now I ask y'r anner, is it like a wumman at all?
Quickly the mousmes must deck themselves out. Chrysantheme is ready; Oyouki hurries, changes her dress, and, putting on a mouse-colored gray robe, begs me to arrange the bows of her fine sash-black satin lined with yellow-sticking at the same time in her hair a silver topknot.
You would have thought he would have been content with that. Proud, he certainly was. He stepped like the cure's big rooster with the topknot almost as far up in the air as he did along the ground; and he held his chin high, as if he liked to look at things over his nose. But he was not satisfied all the way through. He thought more of beating Prosper than of getting 'Toinette.
This was not what he had come for. Becky, slim and small, with her hair peaked up to a topknot, Becky in pale blue, Becky as fair as her string of imitation pearls, Becky in the golden haze of the softly illumined room, Becky, Becky Bannister the name chimed in his ears. Dalton had had some difficulty in getting away from Hamilton Hill.
"G'way, yu crimson topknot, think my head's a hunk of quartz? Fer a plugged peso I'd strew yu all over th' scenery!" shouted Billy, feigning anger and rubbing his head. "There ain't no scenery around here," interposed Lanky. "This here be-utiful prospect is a sublime conception of th' devil." "Easy, boy! Them highfalutin' words'il give yu a cramp some day.
