Horton came downstairs, putting on his overcoat. He looked rather serious. "The storm is worse than I thought," he said. "Sunny Boy, do you want to go to school very much this morning?" Sunny Boy's lip quivered. His eyes filled with tears. Couldn't he go, after all? "I put my rubber boots on," he said, trying not to cry, and holding out his foot for Daddy to see. Mr.
Their mothers might not allow him the run of their kitchens quite so freely as some other boys, but the boys went with him just the same, and they never noticed how little he was washed and dressed. The best of them had not an overcoat; and underclothing was unknown among them.
During one of her absences he slipped furtively downstairs into the drawing-room, where he began to strum on the piano, though the room was yet by no means properly warm. She came after him, admirably pretending not to notice that he was behaving unusually. She was attired for the street, and she carried his hat and his thickest overcoat.
Then, as the silence continued, she raised her eyes to Arabian's. She did not know what she expected to see, but she was surprised at what she did see. Standing quite still immediately in front of the picture, with his large eyes fixed upon it, Arabian was looking very calm. There was, indeed, scarcely any expression in his face. He had thrust both hands into the pockets of his overcoat.
"I must get out of this," he thought. He hurried into his little room, took down his light overcoat and hat, locked his desk, and grabbed the satchel. Then he turned out all but one light and opened the door. He tried to put on his old assured air, but it was almost gone. He was repenting rapidly. "I wish I hadn't done that," he said. "That was a mistake."
When Dick awoke, bright light was pouring in at the car windows, but the car was cold and his body was stiff and sore. His military overcoat had been thrown over him in the night and Warner had been covered in the same way. They did not know that Sergeant Whitley had done that thoughtful act. Dick stretched himself and drew deep breaths.
He had an old shabby army hat on, and a ragged blue army overcoat, a buckskin shirt, and a pair of dilapidated greasy buckskin pants that reached only a little below his knees, having shrunk in the wet; he also wore a pair of old army government boots with the soles worn off. That was his make-up. I remember the colonel asking him if he had been very successful in life.
But don't mention it to anyone else, for it would worry his wife and daughter." As Burke was speaking, a big fashionable car drew up behind the one in which Captain Sawyer sat, awaiting developments. A young man, wearing a light overcoat, whose open fold displayed a dinner coat, descended and approached the door. "What's the trouble here?" he curtly inquired.
But suddenly he remained motionless, struck dumb with astonishment there was a red ribbon in the buttonhole: "Why," he stammered, "this this this overcoat has got the ribbon in it!" In a second, his wife threw herself on him, and, taking it from his hands, she said: "No! you have made a mistake give it to me."
They frequently had to retire to the cellar during gas attacks, and stay for hours, sometimes having only time to seize an overcoat and throw it over their night-clothes. They were here through ten counter-attacks and when Cantigny was taken. There seemed to be big movements among the Germans one day. They were bringing up reinforcements, and a large attack was expected.
