"The pirates seem to treat men civilly enough; could we not manage to rig up the ladies in men's clothes? There is a chest of Chinamen's coats and trousers in our cabin, and the old lady would make a very tolerable mandarin." "I should think it would very speedily be discovered what they are," answered Murray.
The girl was pretty, and companionship with her might have suited even a judge's garments. But the young man and the girl were quite absorbed in each other, and the trousers kicked and the frock-coat flirted ineffectually. A peddler's cart passed very slowly, but the driver did not look up from a paper filled with figures.
After setting it he bandaged it in splints, and said that although he should recommend a few days' perfect quiet, there was no actual reason why the patient should not be taken up to London if he particularly wished it. Ben Tripper had gone with the captain, and a pile of flannel shirts, stockings, guernseys, trousers, and shoes had at once been sent up to the "Bell."
He looked at him a minute keenly "Why not come in yourself, now and then," he said, "as he gets better? Later when you take him away, he will know you better for him."

He had patched brown shoes and black trousers. 'But he's got a sweet nature, said master. This was true, luckily for me.
