"Off with your leather night-cap, and down with your rifle," he cried, giving his own weapon into the hands of a looker-on, "and scrape some of the grease off your jacket; for, 'tarnal death to me, I shall give you the Virginny lock, fling you head-fo'most, and you'll find yourself, in a twinkling, sticking fast right in the centre of the 'arth!"
Very remarkable, there was a discord made in the music, and one of the little men ran up one of the organ-pipes to see where the bad sound came from, when he found out it only happened to be that the two women were laughing at the little red man stretching his little legs full length on the bass pipes, also his two arms the same time, with his little red night-cap, which he never forgot to wear, and what they never witnessed before, could not help calling forth some good merriment while on the face of the deep.
The little lady looked at him dubiously and made a pull at the string of her night-cap, causing it to fall aside and give a grotesque appearance to her troubled old face. "Take a little brandy, dear. I left it here on the dressing-table." "Don't trouble about me, Auntie. Good-night again. There! go back to bed."
"Well, I should like another cloak, a cloak with a lining, some boots, a night-cap, and a prayer-book." "You know how to read, do you?" "Certainly; and I can write fairly well."

The master of Tapton Everard smiled when he heard Dame Jones's hint of deeds which might impeach the validity of his own title in favor of some unknown descendant of some unknown heir; and the story was rarely alluded to, save by one or two miracle-mongers, who had heard that others had seen the ghost of old Sir Giles, in his night-cap, issue from the postern, enter the adjoining copse, and wring his shadowy hands in agony, as he seemed to search vainly for something hidden among the evergreens.
"No Burgundy, sir?" "No, my lord; there is no Burgundy on board." "No Burgundy, sir! Do you dare to tell me that?" "Upon my soul, my lord," cried Maddox, dropping on his knees, "there is no Burgundy on board ask the ladies." "Very well, sir, you may go." "Cook, what have you got for dinner?" "Sir, a haunch of mut of venison, my lord," replied the cook, with his white night-cap in his hand.
When I became strong enough to be again able to run about, I was once more sent to a day-school, and all that I remember about the matter was, that every day about eleven o'clock, I was told to run home and get a wigful of potatoes from Brandon's, the venerable pedagogue coolly taking off his wig, and exchanging it for a red night-cap, until my return with the provender.
I don't think my papa wears his crown for a night-cap. Does he, nursie? 'I never asked him. I dare say he does. 'And she's been there ever since I came here ever so many years. 'Anybody could have told you that, said the nurse, who did not believe a word Irene was saying. 'Why didn't you tell me, then? 'There was no necessity. You could make it all up for yourself.
She looked like a stout, homely cook, with a tolerably fair complexion, but commonplace to the last degree. The lady wore a bandana tied over her night-cap, the strings of the latter article of dress being tied so tightly under the chin that her puffy cheeks stood out on either side.
"New Year's, eh?" exclaimed Deacon Tubman, as he lifted himself to his elbow and peered through the frosty window pane toward the east, where the colorless morning was creeping shiveringly into sight.
