Dora ran for a duster to wipe it up, and H. O. dropped drops of the water on his hands and said he had got the plague. So we played at the plague for a bit, and I was an Arab physician with a bath-towel turban, and cured the plague with magic acid-drops.
And so at five o'clock precisely the august and exciting ceremony began in the best bedroom. A large bath-towel was spread in a convenient place on the floor, and on the towel were two chairs facing each other, and a table. On the table were zinc ointment, vaseline, scentless eau de Cologne, Castile soap, and a powder-puff.
But Violet had already snatched up a bath-towel which she draped about her with scarf-like effect. "This will do quite well and is infinitely more artistic. Pray come in, Dr. Wyndham! The patient is quite ready for you." Max came in. He scarcely looked at either girl, but halted just inside the room, holding the door wide open. "One at a time, Miss Campion, please!" he said curtly.
As she talked Patty was slipping on her dressing-gown, and then she caught up her mother's picture and wrapped it in a bath-towel, and with the little bundle in her hand she ran back to the hall where she met Uncle Ted.

Even then I had to resort to heroic measures, tying the screaming child's hands tight to his side with a bath-towel and having the tremulous Struthers hold his poor little head flat against the kitchen table. It was about as painful, I suppose, as extracting a tooth, but I finally got a grip on that swollen legume and pulled it from its inflamed pocket of flesh.
Remembering that the bird was more or less under his care Latimer performed Hague Tribunal offices by draping a bath-towel over the provocative mirror, but the ensuing peace was local and short-lived.

She wants a pal of her own sex." "I am not so sure of that," said Daisy. "Ah, here's Peggy! I thought you wouldn't escape without seeing her." Peggy's entrance was of the nature of a whirlwind.
