Close at their heels came another man, without over-coat or umbrella, and with a parcel under his arm. 'A wet evening, he said to the two friends, and passed by them. They stood in the outer penthouse, but the man went in to the fire. The smith ceased his blowing, and began talking to the man who had entered. 'I have walked all the way from Camelton, said the latter.
The words referred to a broad, round-shouldered, one-sided old fellow in mourning, coming comically ambling towards the corner, dressed in a pea over-coat, and carrying a large stick. He wore thick shoes, and thick leather gaiters, and thick gloves like a hedger's.
The former was habited in his usual hunting gear, while the dress of the lady Geraldine consisted of an over-coat of dark cloth, falling just below the knee, fitting tightly about the chest, and rising high into the neck.
No matter what the season of the year, he invariably wore a dark blue flannel shirt, a short, heavy over-coat, with huge, deep pockets, thick, iron-shod boots, coarse, loose trousers, and a huge, greasy, slouched, hat, of black felt, invariably pulled over his eyes when out through the city.
The neck was long, and supported by a black stock; the shoulders, arms, and body were those of a man of tall stature; and the whole were enveloped in an over-coat, which, though it had something methodical in its fashion, was evidently intended as a sort of domino. The Captain raised his head as the other spoke, exclaiming, "Ah! General, are you at your post? Did you find the land?" "Yes."
Then cutting a willow stem beside her, she transformed it with two half cuts into a little spring-frame, over which she drew the late muskrat's over-coat. The whole operation did not consume five minutes. "Easy enough when you know how," admitted Sam sheepishly. "Hang it up to dry," she said, handing it over.
He hesitated a moment, then passed on, with a curious swinging gait, a long and shabby over-coat floating behind him to speak to the porter who was collecting tickets at the gate opening on the road beyond. Meanwhile Delia had been accosted by another gentleman, who had been sitting reading his Morning Post on the sunny platform, as the train drew up.
He flung off discouragement as if it had been an over-coat too warm for that weather. He would not permit Delaney's fiasco to annoy him. The Baltimore police had been tipped to watch the pawnshops; Delaney probably would pick Morley up again; and there was the extra man yet to be heard from. Besides, Morley would break down and confess cleanly after his fright on being arrested.
Ogilvy wore his over-coat and a joyous smile, proving that in so far as he was concerned all was well with the world; he pressed forward and thrust forth a great speckled paw for Bryce to shake. Bryce ignored it. "Why, don't you remember me?" Ogilvy demanded. "I'm Buck Ogilvy." Bryce looked him fairly in the eye and favoured him with a lightning wink. "I have never heard of you, Mr. Ogilvy.
The money was to get them their longed-for piano, it seems, and now it's gone." "But how did it happen, Cecil?" "Well, Mr. Carroll says that Mrs. Carroll handed the pocketbook back to him at the gate yesterday, and he dropped it in the inside pocket of his over-coat " "I saw him do it," I cried. "Yes, and then, before he went to be photographed, he hung his coat up in the hall.
