I thought it probable that the gentleman of the woods lived here, and from the appearance of the place he carried all his possessions with him when he wore his bathing-trunks. If I had been in any doubt, the sight of Aggie's wire hairpin, sharpened and bent into a serviceable fishhook, decided me. I scratched a message for him on another fungus and left it:
With the exception of what looked like a pair of bathing-trunks he was as bare as my hand! There was a sort of astonished silence. Then the voice called out: "Why in the world didn't you warn me?" it said, aggrieved. "I didn't know you were going to throw the blamed thing." We had all turned our backs at once and Tish's face was awful. "Take it and go," she said, without turning. "Take it and go."
We all went out to the apple-trees early in the morning. As usual, Sir Wemyss was dressed for the part. Why is it, I wonder, that the British always find themselves dressed for the occasion? I believe, if an Englishman were wrecked in mid-ocean, with only a hat-box for baggage, that out of that box he could produce bathing-trunks in which to drown properly.
