The shopman's failing in this respect was all the more amusing from the fact that the poor fellow was quite unaware of his `little weakness'; and, one boy's merriment affecting the other, while the Captain joined in from sympathy, they all went out of the shop in the highest of spirits, the old sailor before leaving directing the attendant to send home another suit of clothes with a complete sailor's kit, so that Dick might have what he called "a regular rig-out."
That he had fine ones, indeed, was evident from the rig-out he lent Jack when that worthy went to Jawleyford Court, and, in addition to those which were of the evening order, he had an uncommonly smart Stultz frock-coat, with a velvet collar, facings, and cuffs, and a silk lining.
Forty-five copecks change in coppers. Will you take it? And so, Rodya, you are set up with a complete new rig-out, for your overcoat will serve, and even has a style of its own. That comes from getting one's clothes from Sharmer's! As for your socks and other things, I leave them to you; we've twenty-five roubles left. And as for Pashenka and paying for your lodging, don't you worry.
"Besides, my dear doctor, we haven't got the time. If we don't clear out of this pretty sharp, we'll all go below, I'm afraid! Steady there, Bates, with that grapnel rope! You'll have the boat coming broadside on against the wreck, if you don't take care and she'll be stove in. Be smart now and rig-out that clewline there to the brace-block at the end of the yardarm.
Then, after removing the bit from his mouth and loosening the girths, he left the horse to graze. The niche in the rocks was well stocked with food, and contained a rug, a bottle of brandy, several small parcels of ammunition, two revolvers, a few other articles, a miner's 'rig-out, and the false beards Ryder had been in the habit of using as disguises.
Smythe high-strung and delicate, in spite of his stockkeeper's rig-out was taking little interest in anything except the shillings he collected. At last, with a heart-drawn sigh, he beckoned to his brother. "You must meet me with the buggy, Bert, when this is over. I have a splitting headache. We can do without you now." Alas! what doth a station manager with splitting headaches?
"But lend us a jacket, some one, will ye? for it's bitter cold out of the water, and I've left all mine, do ye see, for Daddy Neptune, when he wants a new rig-out." A seaman will joke in the midst of a furious engagement, or at other moments of the greatest peril; and I believe Terence was truly grateful to the merciful Providence who had so wonderfully preserved him.
"He needs them badly." "I will call at Baldwin's, and order some ready-made; but I don't know his size." "He's about two inches shorter than you, Mr. Bowen. Tell 'em that, and they will know. He ought to have shirts and stockings, too." "So he shall," said the old man, quite interested. "He shall have a full rig-out from top to toe. Where shall I go for the shirts and things?"
Nevertheless, the lucky dogs who had relatives near by would take the risk and borrow a cousin's rig-out, but we hated them as mean dogs, feeling they were taking an unfair advantage; and, if we got a chance, we would, by innuendo, hint to the lady in the case that these fellows did so much dixie-cleaning that their dungarees were too stiff to wear!
Scattergood nodded. "Still does sewin' for other folks?" "Ma enjoys it," said Ovid, defensively. "Says it passes the time." "Passes consid'able of it, don't it? Passes the time right up till she gits into bed?" "Ma's industrious." "It's a handsome rig-out," said Scattergood. "Credit to you; credit to Coldriver; credit to the bank." Ovid glanced down at his legs to admire them.
