And I feel all the more guilty in Philip's case because I know that the lad speaks only a mechanical lingo which goes with his bull-dog pipe and the aggressive shade of his neckwear and his socks.
Little by little he changed his tone when speaking of his "friend," whom Long Jack had christened "the Crazy Kid," "the Gilt-edged Baby," "the Suckin' Vanderpoop," and other pet names; and with his sea-booted feet cocked up on the table would even invent histories about silk pajamas and specially imported neckwear, to the "friend's" discredit.
He passed on to ulsters and raincoats, divagated into the colorful realm of neckwear, debated scarf-pins and cuff-links, visualized patterned shirtings, and emerged to dream of composite sartorial grandeurs which, duly synthesized into a long list of hopeful entries, were duly filed away within the pages of 3 T 9901, the pocket ledger.
It was only since Paloma had attained her womanhood that he had been forced to fight down his deep-seated distrust of neckwear and store clothes and the like; but now that his daughter had definitely asserted her rights, he had acquired numerous unwelcome graces, and no longer ventured among strangers without the stamp of her approval upon his appearance.
I was telling the King's physician of that this morning and it seemed to amuse him. But for the human elbow every person would need a neck longer than that of a goose to do his eating and drinking." "I had never thought of that," Lady Howe laughingly answered. "It surely does have some effect on one's manners." "And his personal appearance and the cost of his neckwear," said Franklin.

Their hats, coats, waistcoats and neckwear were soon removed and thrown outside the door, in the passage.
He looks like a country surgeon, doesn't he?" challenged Leaver, advancing. "London-made clothes, Bond-street neckwear, scarfpin from Rome, general air of confidence and calm. I assure you I was nowhere, when the family of my patient saw the lately arrived specialist from Berlin." "It's not on that patient I'm to do violence," Burns explained, at Ellen's look of astonishment.
And he returned to his mirror and the nice adjustment of his neckwear. "But, my lord," insisted Wilding, "you have not the right you have not the power so to proceed against me. A man of my quality is not to be shot without a trial." "You can 'ang if you prefer," said Feversham indifferently, drawing out the ends of his cravat and smoothing them down upon his breast. He faced about briskly.
This tigerish Judith was suffering as keenly as a human creature could suffer, and all because of some blouses, some sashes, and ladies' fancy neckwear, which certainly had an unattractive appearance as they lay on the counters in confused heaps. "He says, 'it's up to you, Miss Stein!" the quivering voice jerked out in bitter mimicry. "Up to me, indeed! And he gives me this rag bag!"
The Cap'n became embarrassed. He began to fuss with his necktie, as if tying it tighter would assist him to hold on to his frown. He felt the frown slipping, but it was a point of honor with him to retain it. "She WILL be a sailin' vessel when she gets her sticks into her," said the Cap'n, fumbling with his neckwear. "Let me fix that for you," said the lady.
