But he always returned to his exile's room, where he now began to hear the new voice of shapeless nameless Fear fear of all this alien world that didn't care whether he loved it or not.
"You look a good deal more like a western farmer than you did when I saw you last," she laughed. Edgar removed his goggles and surveyed his working attire somewhat disgustedly. "I wonder whether that's a compliment; but now that I've made the first plunge, I'd better go through with it get a flappy hat and a black shirt, or one of those brilliant orange ones."

If there were a southern county in England where the mercury stood at 100 degrees in the shade for two or three summer months, the upper classes in it would don, without any hesitation, the wide, flappy broadbrims of California, and still be in the fashion, that is, variety in uniformity.
"You can't put a backbone into a jellyfish by jest showin' him the bone an' that's what his aunt has made him a flappy, transparallel jellyfish. Drat her! But I ain't goin' to give up.

One pitied him at first and then loved him.
After the round-up Flap Jack decided to go on a bender. I tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted, an' finally I sent him into Jabez. Flappy came away just tearin' mad.
