"Good Heaven!" exclaimed Folsom, surveying anew the rough figure before him. "You don't mean to say you are Harry Carter?" "The same, at your service." "What a transformation! Why, you used to be rather a swell and now " "Now I look like a barbarian." "Well, rather," said Folsom, laughing. "You want me to explain? Such toggery as I used to wear would be the height of folly at the mines."
As Dansdale was also on horseback, the trio agreed to start home the same time, traveling in company until their ways separated. Cotton had told Dansdale what business had brought him to the city, and received the latter's congratulations. The boys had decided to leave for home on the ninth, and on the morning of the day set forth, moneyless but rich in trinkets and toggery.
Skenedonk also had new toggery in scarfs and trinkets which I did not recognize, and his fine buckskins were cleaned. The lackeys appeared subservient to him, and his native dignity was never more impressive than in that great house.

"No rides to-day in that toggery, Eddy," he said in the same voice. "But I'll get down and we'll go and sit somewhere under a tree and have some talk. I've got a bit of a job that's hurrying me, and I can't waste time." "Not one of your old jobs, father? I thought you had quite given that up?"

"Come along, Sybil come along, Effie if you want to see a war-chief, thoroughly got up in his finest toggery," exclaimed Norman.
