Inside the porch was a recess where the women left their pattens in winter, instead of clattering iron-shod down the aisle. Okebourne village was built in an irregular way on both sides of a steep coombe, just at the verge of the hills, and about a mile from the Chace; indeed, the outlying cottages bordered the park wall.
The young woman with the flannel bandage waited, and dropped everything on the table wherever it happened to go, and never moved it again until she put it on the stairs. The person I had seen in pattens, who I suppose to have been the cook, frequently came and skirmished with her at the door, and there appeared to be ill will between them.
At the Club he has ten servants scudding about to do his bidding. Poor Mrs. Shindy and the children are, meanwhile, in dingy lodgings somewhere, waited upon by a charity-girl in pattens. Every well-bred English female will sympathize with the subject of the harrowing tale, the history of Sackville Maine, I am now about to recount.
She remembered that the tea was still to make, and, on stooping to set the kettle back upon the logs, found it emptied by William's potations.

Trapp recovered her balance, slipped off her pattens, and stamped them on the back of his scarlet coat two oval O's for him to walk about with. Those were days, too, which kept our Plymouth stones rattling.
In the Corinthian porch occurred a great putting-on of cloaks, ulsters, goloshes, and even pattens, and a great putting-up of umbrellas. And the congregation went out into the whirling snow, dividing into several black, silent-footed processions, down Trafalgar Road, up towards the playground, along the market-place, and across Duck Square in the direction of St. Luke's Square.
