"Now that's settled, and we has you lads togged out to the king's taste for winter." Skipper Zeb stroked his beard contentedly. "No fix there to bother, and we'll talk up our plans. First thing, Mother's been fussin' about the trap boat, and feelin' bad about un ever since we leaves un at the Duck's Head.
I didn't know him that day I met him with you, because they look so different all togged up to fly. But I remembered him afterwards, and I was going to warn you, only," she looked at Johnny sidelong, "you're a very difficult person to warn, or to do anything with. You are always so so pugnacious!" "I like that," said Johnny, in a tone that meant he did not like it at all.
As he started to drive away, he reached down into the basket and drew out some yellow harvest apples. One at a time he tossed them to us as he lumbered off. "Truly rural," remarked a voice behind us. It was Del Mar, all togged up and carrying a magazine in his hand. We chatted a moment, then Elaine started to go into the house with Aunt Josephine. With Del Mar I followed.
"Are there two Sleepers-in-buff on earth?" replied the other. "I have just seen him; he is togged out like one of the swell mob. They will be at table for three hours at least." "Then wait for me, you others. Keep as quiet as possible. I will go and fetch the captain, and the game is bagged." So saying, one of the three men walked off quickly, and disappeared in a street leading from the square.

She was dressed up, this time, to the eyes, togged out in golden ribbons a spangled gown, blue shoes, all spangled too, flowers and gold lace all over her. In her hand she carried a tambourine. With her there were two other gipsy women, one young and one old.
When it was all over, I found myself in command of a gun boat, just a tug, but she was alive and had accounted for herself several times. "The president sent me on a special mission to Chili just after the close of the war, and, all togged out in a new uniform, I went on board of an American ship at Callao bound for Valparaiso. I thought I was some pumpkins then.
It would have been eminently proper had Minister Breckinridge presented himself togged out in his best Arkansas jeans instead of being attired like a troubadour to wish Nick exemption from the Nihilists and express the hope that the occasion wouldn't swell his head; but there was absolutely no excuse for sending warships on an expensive cruise, and special envoys 5,000 miles to make unmitigated asses of themselves.
The big, rough men did wait patiently, expectantly, loyally. Blowing out the candles, to save them for the moment when the tiny child should come, they sat around, or stood about, or wandered back and forth, each togged out in his very best, each with a new touch of Christmas meaning in his heart. Behind the tree a goodly portion of the banquet was in readiness.
He got out at Cannon Street and went up into the main line station and to the bookstall. There he met her she was waiting. They talked a bit, walking about; then they went into the hotel. I had an idea that perhaps they were going to dine there, so as I was togged up for any eventualities, I followed 'em in. They did dine there so did I, keeping an eye on 'em.
"Who's the toff who just left your lot?" he said, when Bates arrived. "Dunno," said Bates. "Some one callin' on Mrs. Lester, I fancy. Why?" "O, nothing. On'y, if I was togged up regardless on a night like this I'd blue a cab fare." "I didn't see him meself," commented Bates. "My boss 'eard him come, an' both of us 'eard him go. He didn't stay more'n five minnits." "Wish I was in his shoes.
