She loved the odd house with its roof shaped like three sails and its restful name, "The Anchorage." When Captain Jules came back with the great suit his face was pale, almost haggard, but he was smiling good-humoredly. "Come, stand over here by this window while I show you my old togs. I haven't looked at this diving suit myself for several years."
When I got down to the shore, and found you were missing, it was as much as they could do to keep Tom here and me from going back. You mayn’t believe me, Mr. Gilmore, but we both cried like children as we rowed to the Tartar.” “I am indeed glad to see you again, and you too, Tom. I guessed that if I ever came across the one I should meet the other also. What are you doing in those togs?”
Wander down to the Battery with me and we will investigate further. "'You're an Englishman, I essayed knowingly. 'I am on to the lingo. "'Not on your life! said he. Born in Newark, New Jersey, deah boy, I assure you right back of the gas-house; what? These togs o' mine were handed out to me by an old pal a cockney valet and the accent goes with 'em, don't ye know?
Briscoe, a man of wealth and leisure, portly and rubicund, was in hunting togs, with gaiters, knickers, jacket, and negligee shirt, while Bayne, with no trace of the disorder incident to a long journey by primitive methods of transportation, was as elaborately groomed and as accurately costumed in his trig, dark brown, business suit as if he had just stepped from the elevator of the sky-scraper where his offices as a broker were located.
But by the end of the third twenty-four hours, with his first two worries reasonably eliminated, it was the accident to his plans that smote upon him with the fiercest poignancy. Let a man's clothes and togs vacillate as they will between his trunk and his bureau once that man's spirit is packed for a journey nothing but journey's end can ever unpack it again!
At first he did not recognise me, for when I accosted him he put his open hand to his ear as usual, and desired me to speak a little louder, but I answered, "Nonsense, Stapleton, that won't do with me." He then took his pipe out of his mouth, and looked me full in the face. "Jacob, as I'm alive! Didn't know you in your long togs thought you was a gentleman wanting a boat.
A've kept guard all night, yellin' an' howlin' like a vigilantee, knowin' they're not the gentry to run into the arms of them good old-time neck-tie com'tees; an' not dreamin' A hadn't another cartridge to my name!" The old man swabbed the sweat from his brow. "A left m' coat and togs back at yon chuck wagon!" Wayland noticed he was riding stocking soled. "I have an extra hat for you here."
And he's got my watch and chain, and my sextant and some other things as well." The four men mere casual acquaintances of a few weeks' standing gave a sympathetic murmur, and then one of them in a deep, rumbling kind of voice, and without even looking at Barry, inquired if he could "do with a change of togs?" "Much obliged to you, Mr. Watson," replied the young man, "but I'll be all right now.
The others imagine that she makes up for quite a number with you and Walter." "There you go again, picking a fight," and he laughed honestly. "Now, Cora, Clip is just Clip, no more and not one whit less, but she has been so busy oh, so tremendously busy!" He was getting into his motor togs, and Cora was already equipped for her ride about Chelton.
But if they ever did, it was under their breath, for Reddy was an autocrat, and in his own domain ruled with an iron hand. Just now, he was, as he himself put it, "as busy as a one-armed paperhanger with the hives." Dinner was over and the football candidates, scrub and 'Varsity alike, were getting into their togs and undergoing the searching scrutiny of Reddy.
