But the boy whose trousers were gone was in the worst fix, as the others could go home without any collars and the boy minus a shirt could button his coat up tight to his neck and no one would know he had no shirt on. But alas for the trouserless boy! What was he to do? At last they hit on a plan.
"There is not enough blue sky to make a cat a pair of breeches!" cries Bobby, despondently, and with his usual vulgarity. Sometimes I am tempted to fear that Bobby is hopelessly ungenteel ungenteel for life. He has now taken possession of another window, and is consulting the eastern sky. "A ransomless king, and a trouserless cat!
Before I knew where I was, I found myself sitting in a chair, in my shirt, trouserless, while my fair tire-woman was engaged in neatly folding up the ravished garments on a neighbouring chair. She then in the most simple manner in the world, helped me into bed, tucked me up, and having said a quantity of pretty things in Icelandic, gave me a hearty kiss and departed.

Possibly he remembered that Verman's trousers were his own former property and might fit him in case the promise for five o'clock turned out badly.
