My father was at that time as he continued to be until the day of his death the leading physician in Portsmouth; and his house a substantial four-storey building stood near the top of the High Street. The establishment of Mr Shears, "Army and Navy Tailor, Clothier, and Outfitter," was situated near the bottom of the same street.
There is the store of "the planter" or outfitter a local merchant, who supplies schooners on shares for the season and too often holds whole hamlets in his debt. There is the church. The priest or parson comes poling out to meet your ship and get his monthly or half-yearly mail, and there are the little whitewashed cots of the fisher folk.
Jaggers dosses in the after-control. It's a bit breezy up there, isn't it, Old Bird?" The Old Bird signified that the rigours of Arctic exploration were as nothing to what he had undergone. "And your swimming-jacket the one Aunt Jessie sent you? The outfitter said it was quite comfortable to wear. I hope you always do wear it at sea, in case in case you should ever need it." Her son chuckled.
Robert Johnson was an essentially commonplace man, with no feature to distinguish him from a million others. He was pale of face, ordinary in looks, neutral in opinions, thirty years of age, and a married man. By trade he was a gentleman's outfitter in the New North Road, and the competition of business squeezed out of him the little character that was left.
Will you kindly step this way, sir?" "We will all step this way," said momma. "It would be a morning coat and waistcoat then, sir, would it not? And trousers of a different somewhat lighter " "Well, no," the Senator replied. "Something I could wear around pretty much all day." My calm regard forbade the gentleman's outfitter to smile, even in the back of his head. "I think I understand, sir.
'Which he never was. Harriet broke the rhapsody in a monotonous low tone: the Countess was not compelled to hear: and that a large outfitter one of the very largest, was in reality a merchant, whose daughters have often wedded nobles of the land, and become ancestresses! Now, Harriet, do you see what a truly religious mind can do for us in the way of comfort? Oh!
And as Hurree goes by on his way home, his prophetic soul tells him that his son will not live the happy and independent life which has fallen to his lot. But he has a bulwark still in the dhobie, for the "Tailor and Outfitter" will not repair frayed cuffs, and the sewing machine cannot put on buttons.
These Russian outlaws scrupled less, when their only hope of bettering a desperate exile was the booty of precious furs plundered, or bludgeoned, or exacted as tribute from the Indians of Northwest America. The plunder, when successful, or trade, if the crazy planks did not go to pieces above some of the reefs that cut up the North Pacific, was halved between outfitter and crew.
He studied Mr. Polly's tie, which was severely neat and businesslike, as became an aspiring outfitter. Mr. Polly's conception of his own pose and expression was rendered by that uncontrollable phrasemonger at the back as "Obsequies Deference." "I am inclined," said the prospective employer in a conclusive manner, "to look up your reference." Mr. Polly stood up abruptly.
'At an outfitter's in the Minories it was an exchange for my own, said Douglas hastily; he was anxious above all things, money or no money, to get away from this crowd of curious faces. 'An outfitter! yes, it's a fine name. Anyhow, the money don't belong to him. Most likely, now, that coat belonged to some seafaring man as got drownded, and the poor chap's things sold. Pass on there, my lads!
