Number three is forty years of age; is short, thick-set, strong, and bow-legged; wears knee cords and white stockings, a very long-sleeved waistcoat, a very large neckerchief doubled or trebled round his throat, and a crumpled white hat crowns his ghastly parchment face.
The animal still remained tethered at the corner of the garden; if she could release him and frighten him away before Festus returned, there would not be quite such odds against her. She accordingly unhooked the horse by reaching over the bank, and then, pulling off her muslin neckerchief, flapped it in his eyes to startle him.
Maybe ye think ye kin git away in this kintry, but I'll show ye. Damn nice trick yer two played, wa'n't it? The lafe will be on 'tother side afore termorrer night. No, I won't shet up, an' ye can't make me ye ain't done with this job yet. Curse ye, Tim Kennedy, let up on thet." "Now gag him, Tim," I said quietly. "Yes, use the neckerchief. He can do more damage with his mouth than any other way.
"I thought you were the ghost of yourself." Clym was curious enough to advance a little further and look in at the window. To his astonishment there stood within the room Diggory Venn, no longer a reddleman, but exhibiting the strangely altered hues of an ordinary Christian countenance, white shirt-front, light flowered waistcoat, blue-spotted neckerchief, and bottle-green coat.
The trousers, tight round the hips, and thence hanging long and loose round the feet, a superabundance of checked shirt, a low-crowned, well-varnished black hat, worn on the back of the head, with half a fathom of black ribbon hanging over the left eye, and a slip-tie to the black silk neckerchief, with sundry other minutiae, are signs, the want of which betrays the beginner at once.
If you catch her in, these next three or four days, you'll be lucky. Ah, brother William John!" The farmer, half frightened by Anthony's dolorous shake of his head, exclaimed: "What's the matter, man?" "How proud I should be if only you was in a way to bank at Boyne's!" "Ah!" went the farmer in his turn, and he plunged his chin deep in his neckerchief.
"Oh, I know," he went on fiercely, "I know why you're all dolled up in your best. I know as you mean t' go away to-night with him. But you ain't goin', girl you ain't." "To-night," she said gently, "is my wedding night." M'Ginnis lifted a hand and wrenched at the silken neckerchief he wore as though it choked him.
A brunette is fond of amber, as a blonde is of light blue; and all true kaulo or dark Rommany chals delight in a bright yellow pongdishler, or neckerchief, and a red waistcoat.
On these occasions, she would tuck up the sleeves of her short-gown an inch or two beyond the ordinary extent, or allow her neckerchief to sink a little lower than usual, for the purpose, as is supposed, of showing him that she was not destitute of charms, and that her arms and neck, where not exposed to the weather, were as white as those of any lady in the land.
She walks in quickly, but without haste; dressed in her mutch, her neckerchief, her white dimity short-gown, her black bombazine petticoat, showing her white worsted stockings and her carpet-shoes. Behind her was James with Rab. James sat down in the distance, and took that huge and noble head between his knees. Rab looked perplexed and dangerous; forever cocking his ear and dropping it as fast.
