There was a cheerful glow in the windows, although the curtains were down. Keene had cast aside his Yankee togs, and appeared undisguised. The bell was answered by the widow Bordine herself, who at once invited him into her cozy parlor. No one was here. The detective glanced keenly around and noted the comfort of the little house.
And to think there was no blame, not even criticism! What is there more delightfully elastic than the mind and the heart of the young college girl? "And I'll tell you how this same lady induced me to put on those foolish togs and hire the friskiest horse at Clayton's," further volunteered Shirley. She evidently thought if that much had been good a lot more would be a lot better.
"Now, Billy, telephone to my apartments to have my Gladstone and my dress-suit togs brought down to that train. Then, by the way, telephone Leatherby and Pluscher to send up to my place of business and have Mr. Johnson show their man my new office. Have him take measurements of it and fit it up at once, complete. They know the kind of things I like.
Andy, absorbed in every maneuver displayed, was completely lost in the deepest interest when a voice at his side aroused him. "Tired waiting?" asked Billy Blow. "Oh, no," answered Andy, "I could watch this forever, I think." "It would soon get stale," declared the clown, with a faint smile. "Give us a hand, partner one at a time, and we'll get my togs and ourselves under cover."
What makes you grin so, you backwoods koonisquat?" "Wall, stranger, if you will insist on knowin'," said he, "It's sympathy that makes me grin. I do like to see human natur' out of its go-to-meetin' togs, with its saddle off, an' no bridal on, spurtin' around in gushin' simplicity. But you're wrong, stranger," continued the driver, with a grave look, "quite wrong in callin' me a koonisquat.
"But, see here, Vona, my dear girl, we have been waiting supper a whole half hour. You've got scant time to eat and get on your stage togs." "This has been a pretty busy day in the bank, Harnden," explained Britt. "Meet Mr. Starr, the bank examiner!" "Oh, hullo, Starr!" cried Mr. Harnden, shoving out a friendly hand. "Heard you were in town. I know Starr," he told Britt.
To it come the children of the tenements with their bob-sleds and "belly-whoppers" made up of bits of board, sometimes without runners, and the girls from the fine houses facing the park and up along Eighty-sixth Street, in their toboggan togs with caps and tassels, and chaperoned by their young fellows, just a little disposed to turn up their noses at the motley show.
It is most becoming, but I hope it won't get wet." "Oh, the water won't hurt it. I got it on that account. I think the girls' maroon sweaters look dandy they can be seen for such a distance." "Yes, I suppose togs have something to do with a good time, although I must say Cora doesn't seem to give much time to hers. Look at Marita in white. She looks like a French doll."
They've taken Webster on the Varsity, and" he lowered his voice to a confidential roar "we want to make a good showing to-day." "Of course," answered Joel, "I'll come at once. Can I get some togs from some fellow?" "Yes. I'll ask Whitman to find some. I'm sorry to take you away from your folks, but it's only fifteen minutes, you know."
"Here, you savage, shed those leather togs, but don't lose them. You'll want to take them out and look at them some stuffy day. Now put this on and run to your bath." When Lewis came back to the room he found most of his things had been packed away in the big, new trunk. On the bed certain garments were laid out. They were laid out in correct order.
