"You 'bey orders, sar, an' make your mind easy about purpisses." In a few minutes Foster was ready. No part of his original costume now remained to him. A blue-striped cotton jacket, with pants too short and too wide for him; a broad-brimmed straw hat, deeply sunburnt face and hands, with a pair of old boots two sizes too large, made him as unlike a British naval officer as he could well be.
"I'll just be doubled up laughing at Hath in that blue-striped thing he has there." "Huh," growled Williams, "I don't think you'll get any prizes for beauty yourself!" By this time the news of their exploit had gone out and other fellows were hurrying to the hotel to seek bathing suits. A few secured them and the rest followed down to watch.
"Tell Aunt Jinny to make it in the flowered teapot I fancy the flowered teapot to-day and the blue-striped cups and saucers. "Do you know, Miss Belding, what the complete delight of wealth is? It is an ability to see variety about one in the home. You need not use the same old cups and saucers every day! If I were rich I would have the furniture changed in my room every few days.
One of the warriors stood up in the midst of his brethren and made a speech, which, to judge from its effect on the others, must have been highly inflammatory and warlike. During the delivery of it he turned his ugly visage frequently, and pointed, with his blue-striped nose, as it were, in the direction of Fort MacFearsome.
Returning to the house, Billy and I snatched a hasty meal, and then we started back for the beach, bearing with us food, two suits of the lightest clothing the slop-chest afforded, two blue-striped shirts, two cloth caps, soap, towels, a comb, and a pair of scissors.
"But Oh, dear! a blue-striped tiger!" "Oh, it's only our big dog Splash," went on Sue. "First I was only going to let Bunny stripe his half of Splash. But a half a blue-striped tiger would look funny, so I said he could make my half of Splash striped too. It will wash off, for it's only bluing, like mother puts on the clothes." "And we're going to have a striped zebra, too," said Bunny.
Jimmie did not want to be the one to get wet, nor did Tom White. "Bunny, can't I be a clown?" asked Ned. "I'm going to be a wild animal trainer make-believe!" exclaimed Sue, "and I'm going to be near the cage where the blue-striped tiger is. I'm going to make him roar." Sallie Smith looked a bit scared. "Oh, it's only make-believe," Sue explained. "Yes, I know," said Sallie.
"She'll be a regular circus zebra when I'm done," said Bunny Brown to his sister Sue. Both children laughed in glee. "Are you going to paint both sides of the calf, Bunny?" "I am if I can reach. Maybe I can't. Anyhow, a zebra ought to be painted on both sides. Not like we're going to do our dog Splash; only on one side, to make a pretend blue-striped tiger of him."
"They only gave me your room number." "I am Clem Sypher, the proprietor of Sypher's Cure." The two men stared at one another, Sypher in a blue-striped pyjama jacket, supporting himself by one elbow on the bed, the doctor at the foot. The doctor spread out his hands. "It's the most horrible moment of my life. I am at your mercy. I only gave you my honest opinion, the result of my experience.
There is not the slightest merit in your heroism; it wasn't you, but your wife, that got up. Caroline gets you everything you want with provoking promptitude; she foresees everything, she gives you a muffler in winter, a blue-striped cambric shirt in summer, she treats you like a child; you are still asleep, she dresses you and has all the trouble. She finally thrusts you out of doors.
