"Lor' sakes, you're just the same, sir, as you were aboard the old Blazer twenty years ago!" said father, breaking into a regular horse- laugh, which he never did except something particularly funny tickled his fancy. "You allers gave your orders sharp as a youngster, and some of us used for to call you `Commander Jack' sometimes. Lor', I remembers it all as if it wer' but yesterday!"
"If you'd help me over to the house, I could manage all right. What a beastly nuisance! It wasn't your fault a bit. Only you tackled me when I was just trying to swerve, and my ankle was all twisted." Drummond came up, carrying Barry's blazer and sweater. "Hullo, Barry," he said, "what's up? You aren't crocked?" "Something gone wrong with my ankle. That my blazer? Thanks. Coming over to the house?
He was a little below middle height well-knit and active; and though, properly speaking, he was not exactly handsome, he was quite exceptionally delightful to look at. Jack Kirkby, sitting in an arm-chair a yard away, and in the same sort of costume except that he wore both his shoes and a Third Trinity blazer was a complete contrast in appearance.
Soon after recovering from the Pip, known in Medical Parlance as the Spooney Infantum, he began to glory in the friendship of an incipient Amazon who wore a Blazer and walked like a Policeman. She did not hamper her fibrous Physique with any excess Harness that might pinch when she essayed a full St. Andrew's Swipe with a wooden Club.
"Cut cudgels for ourselves, then take to the boat creep round to one o' the little islands in the bay, and go at 'em!" answered Blazer. This plan was carried out with as little delay as possible.

Any time you're passing, I'm sure 'You ain't 'eard the last of me yet. 'That's something of a blow, said Charteris cheerfully, and they parted. Charteris, having got into his blazer, ran after Welch and MacArthur, and walked back with them to the House.
So, for these seven weeks, all of us first-class boys who were near the end of our term had to go to the Excellent every day to go through a course of gunnery; and were sent out to sea in sections in the Blazer or Handy, or some other gunboat attached to the gunnery school, so as to gain some sort of preliminary insight into the ways of the big breech-loading guns used in the armour-clads of to-day, as well as being made acquainted with their lesser satellites quick-firing and machine- guns.
It was a delightful week, though; and I think you do the valley an injustice. It's a beautiful place. Now, if you will excuse me, I am going to get supper." "Let me help you." "Oh, there is almost nothing to do. I'd much rather you would sit still and rest. You are tired from your ride, I'm sure; and if you don't mind, I'll bring my blazer and cook the oysters here by the fire.
Then there was one short low, dubious, bark, and then another a little more confirmed. "That's it, Sir Simon. There's your 'cake." "Good hound, Blazer," cried Sir Simon, recognising the voice of his dog.
George Crooper made his way into the crowd in a beaming, though bull-like manner, and a fat back in a purple-and-white "blazer" flattened William's nose, while ponderous heels damaged William's toes; he was shoved back, and just managed to clamber upon the foot-board as the car started.
