As we reached the middle of the town, I saw on the steps of a large white house a white man, in flannels and helmet similar to that I wore. I thought myself rather akin to white men in general, and I walked up to him. He advanced towards me, and we shook hands did everything but embrace. "Won't you walk in?" said he. "Thanks." "What will you have to drink beer, stout, brandy? Eh, by George!
The Duffer, who had got his Flannels at the last moment, came up and joined John and the Caterpillar. "The Manor's well to the front," said the Caterpillar. "By Jove! I never thought to see Fluff in the Eleven." "Fluff came on tremendously this term," the Duffer replied. "Of course the Kinlochs are a cricketing family." "Good joke the brothers playing against each other," said John.
The new clothes gripped him in awkward places, but as he glanced down at the well-pressed flannels, he felt glorified. That night, while strolling in a back street of the lower town, they discovered a tunnel running into the cliff. At its mouth was a turnstile. "Shades of Avernus! What's this?" asked Leighton. Lewis inquired of the gateman. "It's an elevator to the upper town," he said.
11 A.M. The bowels have not been moved, and the pain is more intense; his countenance expresses great anxiety; he frequently lies on his stomach, and the pulse is small but quick. I gave him a little broth, and ordered the abdomen to be fomented with hot flannels. 2 P.M. He has had distressing sickness, and is extremely anxious for water.
She had been placing hot flannels, and trying favourite remedies; but these were all of no avail. The doctor was standing at the post of the bed; for he knew that Mildred's little life was ebbing fast. And then Arthur looked at his father and mother. His mother was sitting by the pillow, and she almost lay upon the bed as she leant over her little dying child.
Sydney did not smoke at all, and the entire family abominated cigarettes. Mrs. Pell did come home shortly after Harrington had taken his departure. She came up to the third floor to put away some flannels she had bought for the boys. "Reginald," she said, as soon as she entered the room, "you have been smoking." Rex was reading by the window, and he turned around in startled disquiet.
She was at that time an ardent convert to the "water cure" theories and, after suffering tortures from one foot especially, she came home from the afternoon meeting, put it under the "penstock" in the kitchen and let the cold water run over it till it was perfectly numb, then Crapped it up in flannels.
This changed course in the warden, however, did not continue many weeks. That hearing and its acquittal had passed, and the Sylver affair was dying away, when, at length, I thus found him returned to his former spirit. Though early in the season, on a warm day, he had divested the sick of their flannels, and I suppose all other prisoners.
King sent Harold out for some gin; she thought hot spirits and water the only chance of bringing back any life after such a dreadful chill; and she and Ellen kept on warming flannels and shawls to restore some heat, and to stop the trembling that shook the bed, so that Alfred felt it, even in the next room, where he lay with the door open, longing to be able to help, and wishing to understand what could have happened.
At one time table-linen is washed and ironed properly; at another, the best methods of treating dish-towels are taught; at another, the washing of flannels and the doing up of prints and ginghams; at another, clear-starching, the cleansing of laces and fine materials; and so on, until the whole round of a family laundry has been scientifically taught and enforced by practice.
