"Perhaps you won't like Surfwood a bit, and you won't want to go there next summer, and if you don't, of course I won't come up here. You look awfully well in that new suit, Dotty." "Hope I do, for it doesn't feel very good. Collar's too stiff." Dotty wriggled with a feeling of discomfort that the first wearing of a new garment often brings.
Nathan, who was already inside sitting by the fire, his long, thin legs stretched out, his bunchy white hair, parted in the middle, falling to his collar's edge, sprang up and shook Oliver's hand heartily. He had charged Malachi, when he admitted him, to keep his presence secret. He wanted them to have Oliver all to themselves. Miss Clendenning entered a moment later with both hands held out.
"The boys are both in bed, and haven't been near the tool-house. And d'you know what you've done? You've let in Bob." "I'm sure I didn't." "But you did. He's just run upstairs. He must have slipped in when you opened the yard door. His collar's broken, and he gets loose sometimes." "I'm sure he didn't come into the house when I opened the door," persisted Elsie. "I only stood there half a minute.
"One of the buttonholes in my shirt is too large and I can't keep the dang thing fastened. I don't know what to do about it! I only got one other white shirt, and it's kind of ruined: I tried it before I did this one. Do you s'pose you could do anything?" "I'll see," she said. "My collar's got a frayed edge," he complained, as she examined his troublesome shirt.
How can I come dressed like th-th-this?" "I'm n-n-not going to the dance." "P-P-P-Pierre!" "I'm not." "Then I am." "W-w-w-without me?" "Y-y-yes." "Jack, you're a flirt." "I hate you, Pierre!" "Thank G-G-G-God! The collar's on." "I can't tie this th-th-thing." "I'll come help you." "N-n-n-no!" "What is it?" "The thing that g-g-goes around me." "C-c-c-corset?" A silence. "Pierre!" "W-well?"
"Why, Peregrine," exclaimed the Tinker, as I stooped to recover the elusive vegetable, "who's been sp'iling of your noo coat, your collar's all ripped, lad?" "A black scoundrel who insulted Diana," I exclaimed, clenching my fists. "A gentleman as spoke to me, you mean!" "The damned rogue tried to kiss you " "Well, what of it I didn't let him, did I?"

But I don't dare breathe a word to her about it. Since that time before her marriage when she " "Yes, yes, yes," her brother cut her short; "don't bring up that tragic episode again.
"He hasn't got no collar!" "Werry good, then," said her nephew. "When he tells you what's wrote on the collar, you'll know he's a liar, and don't you give him up the dog." "But shan't I be a story," said Mrs. Treadwell, "for to tell him the collar's wrote upon, when it's no such a thing?" "Not you, Arnty! Don't you say anything's wrote. Just you ask him what, and cotch him out!"
Sandworth interrupted hastily, "Susan, tell me, for mercy's sake, what did I say? The last thing I remember passing my lips was about her collar's being a little crooked, and just now she told me, as though it was the crack of Doom, that it wasn't what I said, but what it meant, that was so awful. What in the world does she mean?" Mrs. Emery sank into a seat with a gesture of utter impatience.
