"He said he knew you'd be here soon without that." And he led the way to Eskew's bedside. Joe and the doctor had undressed the old man, and had put him into night-gear of Roger Tabor's, taken from an antique chest; it was soft and yellow and much more like color than the face above it, for the white hair on the pillow was not whiter than that.
Can you not hear the notes of the reveille? The night is far spent; the day is at hand; therefore let us put off the works of darkness the night-gear that was fit for those hours of slumber. Toss it away, and put on the armour that belongs to the day.
She had a quiet snug evening with Sophy, whom she had so much interested in the destitution of the sick children as to set her to work at some night-gear for them, and she afterwards sat long over the fire trying to read to silence the longing after the little soft cheek that had never yet been laid to rest without her caress, and foreboding that Mr.
But Swanhild, a cloak thrown over her night-gear, sat herself in the high seat of the hall and fixing her eyes, now upon the dying fires and now upon the blood-marks in her arm, waited in silence. The night was cold and windy, but the moon shone bright, and by its light Atli and his people made their way to the south-western rocks, on which the sea beat madly.

Joe put his head down the fore-scuttle and yelled like a maniac; the others came up in their night-gear, and in a marvellously short space of time the schooner was hove to and the cook and Joe had tumbled into the boat and were pulling back lustily in search of the skipper. Half an hour elapsed, during which those on the schooner hung over the stern listening intently.
Landlady in her night-gear, out came John Ostler with his pitchfork, downstairs tumbled Mrs.
