Take care of your feet, Miss, I am off of mine. Lord bless me! what's this? why as I am a livin' sinner, it's half her frock hitched on to my coat button. Now I know what that scream meant. "'How do you do, Mr. Slick?
Charles did not know how to amuse himself, so he sat down on his little stool, and watched his sister while she worked. When Clara had finished making the frock, she said: "Thank you, dear nurse, for cutting out and fixing the frock for me."
He was dirty, bald on top of his head, with a fringe of iron-gray hair falling on the collar of his frock coat. His clothes, much too large for him, appeared to have been made for him at a time when he was corpulent. One could guess that he did not wear suspenders, for he could not take ten steps without having to stop to pull up his trousers. Did he wear a vest?
The elderly artist burst into tears on hearing the result of the interview with Madame Bonanni, and fell upon Margaret's neck. 'I knew it, she said. 'I was sure of it, but I did not dare to tell you so! Margaret was very happy, but she was a little nervous about her frock and wondered whether tears stained, as sea water does.
The dispute ended by Hermione running off with the half finished ball and its untidy remains, and cramming the whole concern into the pocket of her best frock. "The people will soon be tired of talking to me," muttered she to herself, "and then I can finish my ball quietly in the corner behind Mamma's chair."
'You can't win a maid's heart by going at her as solemn as a funeral, pursued the old woman. 'If you'd ha' begun sprightly with the gell, you might ha' had a chance with her. "La!" says you, "what a pretty frock you're a-wearing to-day;" or "How nice you do do up your hair for a certainty." 'I don't look on marriage as a thing to be approached i' that fashion, said Thistlewood.
Ching was seated right forward, with his blue frock showing well up against the grey white of one of the hanging-down sails, and he had been furnished with a pipe, which he smoked slowly and thoughtfully; half-a-dozen men were in the fore-rigging, making believe to repair damages up aloft; and soon after four more were sent up to begin tinkering at the topmast, which they made great efforts to lower down on deck, but of course got no further.
As soon as he was gone, my nurse, as I learned afterwards to call her, it's so hard not to drop into the language of everyday life when one has to describe things to other people, my nurse got me up, with much ado and solemnity, and dressed me in a new black frock, very dismal and ugly, and put on me a black hat, with a dreary-looking veil; and took me downstairs, with the aid of a man who wore a suit of blue clothes and a queer kind of helmet.
Her pinafores were speckless, and as to her white Whitsun frock Jack could think of nothing the least like Phoebe in that, except a snowy fantail strutting about the Dovecot roof; and, to say the truth, the likeness was most remarkable. It has been shown that Jack March had a mind to be master of his fate, and he did succeed in making friends with little Phoebe Shaw.
Bohun stood near the windlass, and his appearance struck me as being singularly interesting. He was dressed like a gentleman; wore a green frock coat and a white fur hat; but his garments were saturated with rain and the spray. He seemed resolute, nevertheless, and anxious to do something, but he knew not what to do.
