"Oh, you're the fellow that got left! Any kin to the Texas Hascombes?" asked the youth, drawing the razor over his upper lip as if there were real work for it to do. "None whatever," said Percival. "I'll trouble you for my sponge-bag." When Percival got down to breakfast he found that the enforced proximity of Mr. Andy Black was not to be confined to the state-room.
We'll go on board to-night!" A half-hour later Millie was on her knees packing a trunk, and her husband was telephoning to the drug-store for a sponge-bag and a cure for seasickness. Owing to the joy in her heart and to the fact that she was on her knees, Millie was alternately weeping into the trunk-tray and offering up incoherent prayers of thanksgiving. Suddenly she sank back upon the floor.
I suppose every deacon carries a bishop's apron in his sponge-bag or an archbishop's crosier among his golf-clubs. But in this lot I simply cannot perceive even an embryonic archdeacon. I rather expected when I came here that I should be up against men of brains and culture. I was looking forward to being trampled on by ruthless logicians.
Hennie Penny persisted in wearing an unbecoming cap like a sponge-bag, which subjected her to comment. Margaret's crowning glory was coiled in thick plaits on top of her head, and if it got wet it got wet and she heeded it not.
Banjoes strummed; the parade smelt of tar which stuck to the heels; goats suddenly cantered their carriages through crowds. It was observed how well the Corporation had laid out the flower-beds. Sometimes a straw hat was blown away. Tulips burnt in the sun. Numbers of sponge-bag trousers were stretched in rows. Purple bonnets fringed soft, pink, querulous faces on pillows in bath chairs.

A sin of omission rather than commission, though he did put my sponge-bag into my collarcase," I added musingly. "They're both round, you see. Still, I pass that by." "But what do you really complain of?" said Jill. "He's left my dressing-gown out."
The hotel smelt, two puppies were asleep on her bed, and her bedroom window looked into a belfry, which saluted her slumbering form every quarter of an hour. Philip left his walking-stick, his socks, and the Baedeker at Bologna; she only left her sponge-bag.
Can't you imagine him bald as a coot, with a pair of sponge-bag trousers, a little spotted tie, and a corporation?" After a pause Hirst remarked that the worst infamy had still to be told. He addressed himself to Helen. "They've hoofed out the prostitute. One night while we were away that old numskull Thornbury was doddering about the passages very late.

'It's an awful muddle, but that's Pamela! Pamela aimed a sponge-bag at him, which he dodged, and Elizabeth Bremerton sat down. 'I want to hold a council with you, she said, turning a face just touched with laughter from one to the other. 'Do you mind? 'Certainly not, said Desmond, sitting on the floor with his hands round his knees.
