But what made Myra gasp in amazement was to see her own silk dressing-gown and the nightie she had worn the night before lying on the eiderdown bedspread, together with other garments, while on the primitive dressing-table stood her dressing-case. "Incredible!" she exclaimed. "These things were in my bed-room at the Castillo de Ruiz only an hour or two ago!"
"Poor pussy, she has turned white white all over!" "You don't mean to say that was Fly Clifford?" cried Prudy. "Shut her up, auntie," said Dotty Dimple; "she's a kitty. I always knew her name was Kitty." Fly ran and courtesied before the mirror in her nightie. "O, Kitty Clifford, Kitty Clifford," she cried, "when'll you be a cat?"
It was wonderful and at that distance which Captain Lemuel fixed for himself!" said Helena, brushing out her hair preparatory to loosely braiding it. "Oh! Nell, you're lovely that way! In that soft nightie you do have such lovely, lacey things. I wish Aunt Betty would buy me some like them, but she won't. She's too sensible, and oh! dear! I wish I had my arms around her neck this minute!"
Shortly, they were slipping out of the yard, and she, with one oblique glance, saw Amelia at a window in her nightie, and forgot to be frightened for the instant while she thought Amelia would be accounting for this as one of her tricks and compressing her lips and honorably saying nothing to Dick about it.
Let me tell you," she went on as T. A. Buck's demeanor grew more bristlingly antagonistic, "there are thousands and thousands of women up in Minnesota, and Wisconsin, and Michigan, and Oregon, and Alaska, and Nebraska, and Dakota who are thankful to retire every night protected by one long, thick, serviceable flannel nightie, and one practical hot-water bag.
Me for the Morgue. Just as I was ready to rush down to investigate, Tacks came bounding up the stairs, two steps at a time, clad only in his nightie. Up the stairs, mind you! The nerve of that kid! "Gi'me the prize, sister!" he yelled; "I caught the ghost! I caught him!" "What do you mean?" I said, shaking him. Tacks grinned from ear to ear.
"Hair-brushes and combs and towels and soap, and your tooth-brush and mine, and the tooth-paste," answered Mrs. Horton. "And pajamas for you and a nightie for me, in case we can't get the trunk to-night." "But it is going on the train just like us," urged Sunny Boy. "Daddy said so." "But it will be nearly night before we reach Brookside," explained Mrs.
But Jim and I were wondering if it's wise to make her QUITE so picturesque!" "You can't help it," Barbara said. "She's just as lovely in a Holland pinny, or a nightie, or a bathing suit! I declare she was too lovely on the sands last year, with her straw-coloured hair, and a straw-coloured hat, and her pink cheeks matching a pink apron! She's going to be prettier than you are, Ju!"
So through their mother's room they stole softly, only throwing over one chair, and hitting Dotty's crib a little in their haste. Dotty made a sleepy sound of alarm, and Prudy could not help laughing, but only "in her sleeve," that is, in her "nightie" sleeve, which she put up to her mouth to smother the noise. When they had reached the back-stairs Susy whispered, "O, Norah is up and gone down.
Neat little undergarments, white little frocks, a something that the miner felt by instinct was a "nightie," and two pairs of the smallest of stockings rewarded the overhauling of the package, and left Jim momentarily speechless. "By jinks!" said Keno, pulling down his sleeves, "them are awful small fer us!"
