"That is all very well," said the big young man, whose name appeared to be Burrows. "Of course, in a sense, science, like mathematics or the violin, can only be perfectly understood by specialists. Still, the rudiments may be of public use. Greenwood here," indicating the little man in the blazer, "doesn't know one note of music from another. Still, he knows something.
Fortunately a gorgeous purple rowing blazer came readily to hand, and with this and a helmet, both of which he put on at once, the poor fellow was more than satisfied. Indeed, on the wharf he was the envy of the whole band.
For instance, it was quite obvious that Turner had changed. His school suit was hung on his peg, his blazer was presumably on him, and yet his cricket trousers were lying on the floor, with Fischer's house scarf sticking out of the pocket. There were many other like discoveries. In hall that night the Chief asked Turner whose trousers he was wearing that afternoon.
These were the Mahdi's colours; I don't know why, for he was never a Third Trinity man, and had no right to their blazer. Like his impudence! It is true that the colours were generally in dice, not regularly striped. Some of the soldiers did not show the colours, but that was because they had nothing to put them on unless they painted their bodies.
There was Blazer, with his tawny muzzle, and behind him Fangs, the great, black bitch, half mastiff and half bloodhound, the saliva dripping from her jaws as she ran. Constans drew a deep breath as he watched them. Already they were nearing the pavilion; in a few seconds at the farthest they would be giving tongue upon the striking of his scent.

This yere bein' gospel trooth, you'll have to drink straight whiskey; an' you might as well drink it outen a tin cup, too.

They had been rigged out in man-o'-war habiliments by the kindness of those on board the "Blazer," but they had steadily refused to permit the barber to operate upon them, and still wore their locks shaggy and long.

This house is more crooked and old-fashioned than you would think from its snobbish exterior. There are quite a lot of odd corners in the place really." "That," said Rupert, with a savage smile, "I can quite believe."

Just beyond the mill they came upon another of the now familiar blazes, directing them to proceed to the right and follow the river bank. "The blazer fellow evidently knows where we wish to go.
