I resorted to all sorts of tortuous devices and excuses to get a chance of seeing her again without betraying what it was I was after." Dr. Martineau retained a simple fondness for a story. "And did you meet her again?" "Never. Of course I may have seen her as a dressed-up person and not recognized her.
There was an unmistakable dressed-up eveningness about them both. This struck him as the first evil to remedy. As with an escaped convict, his prime necessity was a change of clothes. There was only one way to manage that. He went back to the hotel and found a startled early-morning waiter sweeping out the office.
Worthington at Cliff Crest, and there was so much Federation politics going on in our town that the New York Sun took five hundred words about it by wire, and Colonel Alphabetical Morrison said that with all those dressed-up women about he felt as though he was living in a Sunday supplement.
The Choir-boys emerged from a side-door and vanished into a field; a series of Old Ladies and Invalids felt their way down the gravel path with sticks; the "Neighbours," looking clean and dressed-up, went off in various directions gravely, voices hushed, manners circumspect.
The other painted savages were creeping in and out of the bushes with their spears and boomerangs as if they were hunting, and the dressed-up Kangaroo made believe not to see them, but stooped down, nibbling grass.

We can rough it if we have to. We'll have a camp or take a house we'll get along somehow." "Oh, nonsense!" Wade objected. "You wouldn't like it. It's as hot as perdition in the daytime. You'd be sick of it."
He'd rather spend it on that dressed-up creature." "She should have her own money if she's so grand," said Paul. "She should, but she hasn't. I asked him. And I know he doesn't buy her a gold bangle for nothing. I wonder whoever bought ME a gold bangle." William was succeeding with his "Gipsy", as he called her.
We'll bring the boat in and get you, then we'll anchor it out where it is now, and and I'll go get Smith's rowboat, and Friday and I'll come out and rescue you." Margery hesitated. "Aw, come on!" urged Kent. "Don't be such a 'fraid cat. That's why us kids don't like you, you're such a silly, dressed-up doll." The banker's daughter flushed.
