On his head, covering his shaven mid-scalp and right-angled top-knot, is a blue cotton rag not handkerchief, since such an article in Japan is always made of paper. This head-gear is usually fastened over the head by twisting the ends under the nose.
When you saw Jack figuring in Captain Absolute, you thought you could trace his promotion to some lady of quality who fancied the handsome fellow in his top-knot, and had bought him a commission. Therefore Jack in Dick Amlet was insuperable.
When her father was present he addressed Colina's ear, her chin or her golden top-knot, never her eyes. John Gaviller apparently never looked at her either, but Colina knew he was watching her closely. She was not alarmed. She had herself well in hand, and there was nothing in her politely smiling, slightly scornful air to give the most anxious parent concern.
In speaking of their mode of arrest, I purposely used the word "collared"; for no better term can express the action of the Corean policeman. The man is taken before the magistrate soon after his arrest, and should he offer resistance he is dragged before him by his top-knot or his pig-tail, according respectively as he is a married man or a bachelor.
For the first instant it struck him as too absurd to be possible. 'After all ... why not? he asked himself. 'M. Pantaleone! he said aloud. The old man started, tucked his chin into his cravat and stared at Sanin. 'Do you know, pursued Sanin, what happened yesterday? Pantaleone chewed his lips and shook his immense top-knot of hair.

But when they trooped into the bunk-house they might have been deacons returning from prayer meeting so far as their decorous behavior was concerned. Happy Jack was in bed, covered to his ears and he had his face to the wall. They cast covert glances at his carroty top-knot and went silently to bed which was contrary to habit.
If the ceremony is to be curtailed, it may end with the cutting off of the head: that must be settled beforehand, in consultation with the witness. In the event of the second making a false cut, so as not to strike off the head at a blow, the second must take the head by the top-knot, and, pressing it down, cut it off.
"What are you putting up that top-knot of yours at me for?" said he to the cockatoo. "Don't ye know your own friends? I'm going to let ye out, I am. You're going on to your perch, you are." "Eh, but you're a bonny creature!" he added, as the cockatoo filled the cage with snow and sulphur flutterings. "Keep away, keep away!" screamed the little ladies, playing a duet on the window panes.
She takes too many, and the very best into the bargain!" "Coo! coo!" "How she puts up her top-knot, the ugly, mischievous creature!" "Coo! coo! coo!" And every eye sparkled with malice. "Form yourselves in groups! form yourselves in groups! Little brown creatures! Poor little brownies! Coo! coo!" So it went on unceasingly, and so will they go on chattering in a thousand years to come.
The newly risen sun, ricocheting from the bosom of the river and striking point-blank on the top-knot of Miss Margaret's gorgeousness, made her an imposing spectacle in the quiet street of that Puritan village.
