If you see a little figure running towards you in a blue smock, the head fair-haired, the face blue-eyed and a little freckled with the strong sunshine, it is not a real figure; it is a child of your dreams and a ghost of the past.

He probed them with his stick, but could see nothing. Then he gave chase, and soon caught sight of a vanishing blue linen smock. 'I spy! he shouted, and renewed his chase with vigour. But Bobby was an experienced hider. He was small, and the bushes were thick and high.

Maryanka now smiled outright and unfastened the neckband of her smock. 'Don't take them all, she said.
And then they drank, "Vert and Venison," and then, "A black face, a white smock, and a red hand." And then they betook themselves to Roaring choruses, and Smoking and Drinking galore, until I fell fast asleep in my chair.

She sang something mournfully, addressing the queen, but the king waved his arm severely, and men and women with bare legs came in from both sides and began dancing all together.
He wore a linen jacket, a blue smock, a large hat, and great, high fisher's boots, reaching nearly to his waist. Item, on his back the Duke carried a fisherman's basket; six fishermen similarly dressed accompanied him, and others in a like garb followed.
