"See here, now none o' that!" the Colonel warned. "Give it to me." He reached his hand out for the coat, and, reluctantly, the jockey let him take it. There stood the trimmest and most graceful figure ever garbed in racing blouse, knickers, boots and cap, with flushed face, dilating, frightened eyes and hands not a little tremulous.
"It was only a doctor," Juliet replied, in a small, thin voice. "They're different from other people. I wouldn't let the Kents see me in my knickers, and you know it." "You would, too, if you wanted to. You're a perfect tomboy. You wouldn't see Isabel doing that." "Probably not," answered Juliet, dryly.
From the sublime to the ridiculous is but a step. Pyjamas, let us say? Or stockingette gussetted knickers, closed? Or, put we the case, those complicated combinations, camiknickers? BLOOM: I wanted then to have now concluded. Nightdress was never. Hence this. But tomorrow is a new day will be. Past was is today. What now is will then morrow as now was be past yester. Pretty Poll!
But he sprang up, washed his prickly eyes with cold water, and began to dress. He was shy of the knickers and golf-stockings, but it was the orange tie that gave him real alarm. He dared it, though, and went downstairs to make sure they were setting the table with glory befitting the party. As he went through the common room he watched the three or four groups scattered through it.
"Well, we'll hope there won't be any mosquitoes!" said Uncle Andy reassuringly. "And if a yellow-jacket lights on your sock and starts to crawl up under the leg of your knickers, you won't stir?" "N-no!" agreed the Child, with somewhat less confidence. He had had such an experience before, and remembered it with a pang.
"What is the verdict? Am I not ahem stunning?" "You are big enough, that's sure," admitted Dorothy, giving him a look of unstinted admiration, "and as to being stunning I just imagine that you are even that in your golf suit." "There now!" and Nat went off into kinks; "he has to wear knickers to look cute. You ought to see me in my football togs if you want to behold something really magnificent."
It won't seem hard to do without things, when I think of those kiddies of mine, and hard work should be a great and glorious gift, if it is to give them the start in life which they deserve. We'll no longer quarrel, Diddums and I, about whether Dinkie shall go to Harvard or McGill. There'll be much closer problems than that, I imagine, before Dinkie is out of his knickers.
An she says she done know, but yer mus come and speak Tuesday night, she says Manx Road Schools, she says if yer want to perwent em making a law ov it. Which I'm a doin of aint I?" Fresh laughter and response from the room. She went on satisfied. "An, yer know, if I can't make the knickers at 'ome, I can't make 'em awy from 'ome.
He was there to watch over the doughty little chap, who one day would be ruler unrestrained, but who now was a boy to be loved and coddled and reprimanded in the general process of man-making. To say that the tiny Prince loved his big, adoring mentor would be putting it too gently: he idolised him. Tullis was father, mother and big brother to the little fellow in knickers.
She had stored up everything she had possessed since her early youth, and was said to use pins that were at least twenty years old. She managed to put everything to use, and the boys' knickers were sometimes made of queer materials. One expression little Hansi often heard at home and that was the word "useful."
