"I thought Sylvia Courtney's summer Sunday hat was swankey; but it's simply not in it with your coat I suppose that belt thing is real silk." "School colours," said Frank. "Oh! Ours are blue and dark yellow. I have them on a hockey blouse." The bath-chair turned out to be rather more dilapidated and disreputable than Frank expected.
This seems to me the essence of true religion; the people who cling very close to particular creeds and particular beliefs seem to me to lose robustness; it is like trying to go to heaven in a bath-chair! It retards rather than hastens the apprehension of the truth.
Priscilla wheeled the bath-chair for some distance along the road without speaking. Then she asked another question. "Which would you rather have, the tongue or a tin of Californian peaches.

There was nothing she would not have done to make her comfortable. Henry cheerfully gave up his room for the maid, and had a little bed put up for him in the play-room. He had settled that he was to be his grandmother's horse as soon as he saw the Bath-chair.
I could not desert old Raffles, even when I would, but must try to explain away his mask as well, if he had not the sense to take it off in time. It would be difficult, but burglaries are not usually committed from a bath-chair, and for the rest I put my faith in Dr. Theobald.
