I wore mine two years before I started out after you, vandyked rather carefully, you understand, so you'd better not use a razor. Physically you won't run a ghost of a chance of being caught.

The strange "vandyked" crozier-like stone objects of schist or shale from Portugal were possibly armes d'apparat, or heads of staves of dignity. There is a sample in the American room at the British Museum, uninscribed.
She had a lot of things unpacked on the table; she had laid clean newspapers on the mantel-shelf a slab on two pegs over the fireplace and put the little wooden clock in the centre and some of the ornaments on each side, and was tacking a strip of vandyked American oil-cloth round the rough edge of the slab. 'How does that look, Joe? We'll soon get things ship-shape.
There was an inner circle closely huddled, and outside these they radiated wider apart, the pattern formed by the flock as a whole not being unlike a vandyked lace collar, to which the clump of furze-bushes stood in the position of a wearer's neck. opinion.
