Palette, who had spoiled many canvases and paintbrushes in the East, attentively studied Blizzer in detail, and found his hair was combed, his shirt buttoned at the collar, and his trowsers lacking the California soil which always adorns the seat and knees of orthodox mining pantaloons. "It's her as did it," said Pat Fadden; "an' 'tain't all she's done.
Our agent managed the matter so that we got regular jackets and trowsers of the true old colour. The poor Frenchmen looked like peacocks in their dress, but we did not envy them their finery. I had been on the island about a fortnight, when I was told by Jack Mallet that a woman, whom he thought to be my sister, was at the gate.
Kadu had especially distinguished himself: he was armed with a sabre and lance, and wore a white shirt, and wide trowsers, which formidable attire was completed by a red cap on his head.
There are a great many accidents which may befall a boy in coming down a tree.

When he reached the ground he looked at the rent in dismay.

I don't know much about the upper story, so I spare you that.

Allen made his trowsers himself, and then built a raft, on which he went down the river to his own place at Mount Morris. About that time he married a squaw, whose name was Sally.
The interminable lines of bazaars, with their atmospheres of spice and fruit and fragrant tobacco, the hushed tread of the slippered crowds; the plash of falling fountains and the bubbling of innumerable narghilehs; the picturesque merchants and their customers, no longer in the big trowsers of Egypt, but the long caftans and abas of Syria; the absence of Frank faces and dresses in all these there was the true spirit of the Orient, and so far, we were charmed with Damascus.
His old tow trowsers and calico shirt revealed the shining fact in too many places to leave room for a question, and shoes he had none. "Dick," said Dabney, "was you ever married?" "Married!" exclaimed Dick, with a peal of very musical laughter, "is I married? No. Is you?" "No," replied Dabney; "but I was very near it, this morning."
