Finally Masoy consented to go, and went down to the river to wash off the dirt and grime. A rich merchant was bathing some distance up the river, and the ape slipped along the bank, stole the merchant's clothes, hat, and shoes, and running back swiftly to his master, bade him put them on.
This done, he began to slip on the clothes of Jimmie Dale; and, when half dressed, turned to the table again to remove the characteristic grime, stain, and paint of Larry the Bat from face, hands, wrists, throat, and neck. This was a longer, more arduous task. He reached for the cracked pitcher to pour more water into the basin and, snatching up his revolver instead, whirled to face the door.
"Just like Mamma," the man repeated. "The loveliest the bravest and the best." He wavered a little on his feet and the hat threatened to slip through his fingers, but his daughter's great, dark eyes were steady on his and, curiously enough, he seemed to draw strength to pull himself together. "And now, let's see. We'll have to get the grime off first. Just dip the little wounded soldier in."
"Your new position must cover that bridge," he whispered faintly. "The left section of McDunn's battery is already ordered to your support. . . . How is it with you, Colonel? Speak louder " Colonel Craig, pallid and worn under the powder smears and sweat, wiped the glistening grime from his eye-glasses. "We are holding on," he said. "It's all right, Major.
I was sick at the sight of him sick at the reck and grime and blood of him!

One arrives fresh in spirit and in person in the evening no fret in his heart, no grime on his face, no grit in his hair, not a cinder in his eye.
John did a little cussing when they located the gauges, and found them so thick with grime that they had to be cleaned. He headed back through the dust for a cloth, with Dick's laugh following. "Alright, alright, but don't rub it in. Just because you happened to be in front of me, and there isn't room to pass, don't give you the right to laugh.
I'm going to wash some of the grime off my conscience and try to make myself fit to speak to this girl again." "It's the cross," said Pierre. "What do you mean?" "Nothing. The bad luck has come to poor old Jim at last, because he saved me out of the snow. Patterson has gone, and now you, and perhaps Jack well, this is good-by, Dick?" "Yes." Their hands met, a long, strong grip.
The comments upon the tool-marks now visible after the dispersion of the grime are of a rather opposite character, the connoisseur noticing the manner of working over the surface by the old Italians as being different to that pursued now; the assistant sees nought but rough gougings and scratchings as with a notched or blunted tool, and concludes that the old makers were not as good workmen as the moderns.
