Ned approached the arbor with hesitating steps, and felt that his appearance was, indeed, sorely against him. He had no covering to his head, had nothing on, indeed, but a pair of trousers. He was shoeless and stockingless, and presented the appearance of a beggar boy, rather than the smart young sailor whom she had seen on board the ship.
We started on, feeling much encouraged, expecting to get beyond the picket at Tunnel Hill before daylight. But it soon commenced raining fearfully, and the walking was slippery, which made it intensely painful to my poor inflamed limbs, and chafed the skin off my stockingless feet, as they slipped up and down in legless boots.
"His name no John! Eshy-ishy-oshy-neeshy-George-Wampum-Shoony-Katoo; short name, speak um quick! Jaw-awn! Great long name!" drawled she, stretching it out as if it were made of India rubber, and scowling with an air of disgust. "What does she mean by calling 'John' long?" thought Horace. The woman wore a calico dress, short enough to reveal her brown, stockingless feet and gay moccasons.
They were certainly not intended for mourning, but she had no others, and with stockingless feet she followed the poor straw coffin in them to the grave. Suddenly an old carriage drove up, and a large old lady sat in it; she looked at the little girl, felt compassion for her, and then said to the clergyman "Here, give me that little girl, I will adopt her!"

His feet were stockingless. The mother for some reason drew a sigh of relief, and suddenly obeying an impulse from within, yielding to an instinct that got the better of her reason, she surprised herself by asking him: "Can I stay in your house overnight?" At the question everything in her muscles, her bones, tightened stiffly.
I sprang out of my cot, slipped my stockingless feet into my shoes, drew on my jacket, and met young Boyne at the cabin door. "Well, Mr Boyne," said I, "what is the news? I heard Mr Pottle ask you to call me." "Yes, sir," said the lad. "He says he has seen something like the flash of firearms down in the southern quarter, and the lookout also has reported it."
And on the tumbled blankets that lay in a disordered heap on its edge, Joanna sat almost all day with her stockingless feet upon one of the bed pillows that were somehow always kicking about the floor.
In a moment a feeble gaslight shone, disclosing Aphrodite somewhat disarranged by the panic standing smiling in front of the erstwhile Voodoo. She looked down at his feet. There, sure enough, one huge member was unshod and stockingless; the elastic-slit congress gaiter, lost in the shuffle, lay out of the radius of Ambrose's long leg.
Our very maid-servants, who were brought up shoeless, stockingless, and bonnetless, and who work day and night for a few dollars a month, spend those dollars in providing themselves with hoops, flounced silk dresses, and variegated bonnets for Sunday wearing. Tomes. Do you grudge the poor creatures their holiday and their holiday-dress? Grey. Far from it!
