Edouard Laronde was also there, and he, like the others, had undergone wonderful transformation in the matter of clothing, but he had also changed in body, for a severe illness had seized him when he landed, and it required all Mrs Foster's careful nursing to "pull him through," as the middy styled it.
The bath over, they returned to the bath houses to dress and Dolly found in hers, instead of her travelling suit, a serge skirt and middy blouse. She put these on, and when she went out she found Dotty similarly arrayed. Mrs. Rose braided the two girls' hair in long pig-tails and tied their ribbons for them. "Now for a camp breakfast!" exclaimed Mr. Rose, as the group reunited.
"That will do, Eben I'll trust you; and as you're going to do your best now I don't think Mr Mr " "Wrighton," said the middy. "Mr Wrighton will want to be hard on a man who wants to escape from being pressed. How long will it be before it's safe to go up?" "I daren't go till it's midnight, my lad.
"Geo'ge, your mudder wants you." Such were the words which aroused George Foster from a reverie one morning as he stood at the window of a villa on the coast of Kent, fastening his necktie and contemplating the sea. "Nothing wrong, I hope," said the middy, turning quickly round, and regarding with some anxiety the unusually solemn visage of Peter the Great.

"Is that someone calling to us?" asked Katherine, hurriedly pulling her middy on over her head and throwing back the tent flap. No one was in sight outside. "Must have been for someone else," she reported, looking right and left along the pathway. "There's nobody out here."
"Goodness, I wouldn't like to chance it," said Mollie, slipping a middy over her head. "I am afraid we would have to carry her home at the end of the summer a sleeping beauty still." "Or a still sleeping beauty," Betty suggested. "That would be more to the point." "Suits me exactly," Grace drawled, "as long as the prince is handsome enough."
"Beg pardon, sir; didn't know you were speaking to me. Which, sir?" The lieutenant's lips were compressed as he took a couple of strides and brought himself alongside of the middy. "If you are not careful, sir," he said severely, "trouble will follow this. You did know I spoke to you, sir. I said, `Who is that young black? Why, it's an ape." "Yes, sir; chimpanzee, sir."
