Her father was in the laboratory, ostensibly at work, and Sir Randal, beaming expectant, had driven off to St. Albans. Tea-time, or even dinner was early enough, thought Amaryllis, to meet the new-comer; and then, in spite of the mixture of bewilderment, pride and regret which oppressed her, she remembered the words of the American in the Cape Town bar: "Eyes blue as a hummin' bird's weskit."
"Weskit? why, what a bit of a slit it is to call a pocket. Hold the sixpence though, won't it?" "If you please I'd rather pay for the flowers," I cried, flushing as he held on by the tie with one hand, and thrust the sixpence back in my pocket with the other. "Dessay you would," he replied; "but I told you before I'm market grower and dursen't take small sums. Not according to Cocker.
But you wouldn't have Istra disappoint a nice Johnny after he's bought him a cunnin' new weskit, would you?... Good night, dear." She smiled the mother smile and was gone with a lively good night to the room in general. Nelly went up to bed early. She was tired, she said. He had no chance for a word with her. He sat on the steps outside alone a long time.
And, Moses," she continnered, layin her hed confidinly agin his weskit, "dost know I sumtimes think thou istest of noble birth?" "No!" said he, wildly ketchin hold of hisself. "You don't say so!" "Indeed do I! Your dead grandfather's sperrit comest to me the tother night." "Oh no, I guess it's a mistake," said Moses. "I'll bet two dollars and a quarter he did!" replied Elizy.
I know all about them. Yer put yer money in fer years, an' then, w'en they've got enough, they shut the door, an' the old bloke wi' the white weskit an' gold winkers cops the lot. No banks fer me, thank yer!" Then she explained that ever since she opened the laundry, she had squeezed something out of her earnings as one squeezes blood out of a stone.
The Financier, in his First Part Clothes with an Ice-Cream Weskit, was a Picture that no Artist could paint. His hair would not stay combed and he hardly ever knew what to do with his Hands. Laura and the Girls could forget that they had once seen the Missouri River, but not so with Old Ready Money.
Hobbs hastily protested, in some alarm at the expression of Merrington's face, "I'm coming to it fast enough, but my head is so full of this here kiddy that I hardly know whether I'm standing on my 'ead or my 'eels. It's like this 'ere: a few days ago there was a young man come into my shop to pawn his weskit. I lent him arf-a-crown on it and he goes away.
"All right, Master Waller." "And as for the money you will miss, Bunny, I have got some saved up, and you shall have the waistcoat and the boots before a month's passed." "Na-ay, I shan't," growled the man. "Bang the boots and the weskit! I won't have 'em now. You say it's right for that there poor young chap to be took care of, and it shall be done.
The man wore knee breeches and white stockings; his coat was "some kind of a lightish colour or betwixt that and dark"; and he wore a "moleskin weskit." As if this were not enough, he presently hailed me from my breakfast in a prodigious flutter, and showed me an honest and rather venerable citizen passing in the Square.
