First off, when I was too little to do anything else, I minded the children an' run errands an' washed doilies an' towels an' stockin's an' sich, an' set table an' cleared table an' washed dishes an' made beds an' emptied slops. Then I helped cook. Now I cook. Along with plenty other things. How'd you like it yourself?" Her tone was suddenly fierce.
And besides the stockin's, which wuz goin' to devour a fearful amount of time, she had got to embroider three night-shirts for Whitfield with fine linen floss. Then I argued with her agin. Sez I, "Good land! I don't believe that Christopher Columbus ever had any embroidered night-shirts."
What made you write him for to let me come and bring my stockin's and things?" "Don't you see, Billy, there is so little work at this station that I'd be looking out of the window all day just the pitiful way you do?" "Oh!" Billy pondered. "And so I said to Lin," he continued, "why didn't he send down his own clothes, too, an' let you fix 'em all.
Most children think more of stockin's than they do of trees so I've heard, at least." "I've got no objections to stockin's," said Captain Eli. "If it wanted to hang one up, it could hang one up either here or in my house, wherever we kept Christmas."
"Yes, I see he is very perlite, I see you have set amongst very perlite folks, Samantha," says he, a glarin' at Deacon Balch as if he would rend him from lim to lim, "But as I said, I have no occasion to ride, I took off my boots and stockin's merely merely to pass away time. You know at fashionable resorts," says he, "it is sometimes hard for men to pass away time."

Ever' chil' brought a stockin' up to de Big House to be filled. Dey all wanted one o' de mistis' stockin's, 'cause now she weighed nigh on to three hund'ed pounds. Candy an' presents was put in piles for ever' one.
Jack awoke suddenly and opened his eyes. The candle was lighted. Solomon was leaning over him. He was drawing on his trousers. "Come, my son," said the scout in a gentle voice. "They ain't a cloud an' the moon has got a smile on her face. Come, my young David. Here's the breeches an' the purty stockin's an' shoes, an' the lily white shirt.
And she said, "She had ruther come late, prepared, than to go early with everything at loose ends." "But," sez I, "good plain sensible night-shirts and Lyle-thread stockin's hain't loose they hain't so loose as them you are knittin'." But I see that I couldn't break it up, so I desisted in my efforts.
Ye're a swate crayteur," continued he, winking at the woman; "but sure yer petticoats is mighty short, an' yez want a pair of stockin's bad, too; but nivir mind yez stand well upon thim illigant ankles 'dade ye do; and yez have a purty little futt into the bargain." "Que dice?" "He is complimenting you on the smallness of your feet," answered the Frenchman.
