"Instead of an ogre attended by owls and nightbirds and the devil knows what, for I don't." Barnes looked at him in amazement, struck by the curious note in his voice. "If you were a small boy in knickers, O'Dowd, I should say that you were mortally afraid of the place." "If I were a small boy," said O'Dowd, "I'd be scairt entirely out of me knickers.
They seized hold of him by his coat and knickers and boots and even by his curly hair, and bore him upwards singing: "Fairies seek and fairies save Children who are bold and brave." So they supported him up the last step and they floated off as they had come, looking in the distance like a cloud of bright fireflies. Walter now found himself in a dark, mysterious garden.
"I didn't want to tell you," she said, when she had finished, "but you asked for it, and now you've got it." "It's very amusing," said Mr. Foss. "I wonder who the dark young man in the fancy knickers is?" "Ah, I daresay you'll know some day," said Mrs. Dowson. "Was the fair young man a good-looking chap?" inquired the inquisitive Mr. Foss. Mrs. Dowson hesitated. "Yes," she said, defiantly.
As he stood free from the screening fringe of bushes, I saw that he was slender, and not very tall, one not wholly suited by nature to his stern calling. His once white jacket now was soiled, and one leg of his knickers was loose, from his scramble up the bank.
This to Leveson, who was trying by means of the most awkward contortions to rise to a sitting posture "You will find it difficult among other misfortunes your knickers will burst, and there is no tailor close at hand. Spare yourself, and us!" "Oh give him a hand, Adderley!" said Walden, good-naturedly. "Help him up! He's had his beating!"
They certainly were two pretty little men as they stood there in red jerseys and blue corduroy knickers. My friend's custom of snatching open the piano and heralding dinner with a furious tornado of chords pleased them vastly. "What's that for?" Beppo inquired expectantly. "Chop," said Mac, rumpling their hair. "Pipe all hands to the galley. Here comes the salt horse and the hard tack."
But she growled: "Anyway, it's a sailor suit I am going to wear, and I guess I can walk like a sailor, just as well as Short and Long." "Better," declared Nellie soothingly. "And then, those wide-legged trousers sailors wear are quite modest." At this all the girls laughed. Knickers in their gymnasium and field work had become second nature to them.
His head seemed too large for the body, yet this might have been because it carried a plenteous shock of straw-colored hair, with mustache and beard to match. He was attired in "knickers" and pleated jacket, that looked as if he'd slept in them, and his fat legs were knock-kneed. On the floor about his feet lay almost every conceivable type and age of traveling bag, with the inevitable camera.
"A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I It's 'I, Queenie! No, there's another! It's 'J'! It's going to be 'J, old sport! Aren't you thrilled? Oh, I say! Whoever on earth is that?" Following the direction of her sister's eyes, Quenrede looked through a veil of wind-blown hair, to see, standing among the stones, a stranger of the opposite sex, garbed in tweed knickers and leather gaiters.
His mind again reverted to the subject with pleasant anticipation when, the next afternoon, clad in knickers and a Norfolk, with a cap pulled rakishly over his eyes, he trudged over the hills to which the children had directed him.
