If an opening or slit for the arm is required it should be made quite wide, and may be protected by a flap, as in that excellent overall the modern Inverness cape; secondly, it should not be too tight, as otherwise all freedom of walking is impeded.
Now the gate had to be pulled open; the rasp of its rattle and sharpness of its flap were somewhat impaired by the wet, but it managed to give the trunk a parting kick as it went out, as much as to say the house was well rid of it. "Cornelia!" called the Professor from down-stairs, "you've just five minutes to say good-by in. Get through and come along!"
Suddenly my attention was drawn from him to a window in the story over his head, by the rapid blowing in and out of a curtain. As there was a lighted gas-jet near by, I watched the gyrating muslin with apprehension, and was shocked when, in another moment, I saw the flimsy folds give one wild flap and flare up into a dangerous flame. I dashed out of my room down-stairs, calling for the servants.
So Triffitt quickly pulled the flap of the Trilby hat about his nose, and sank his chin lower into the turned-up collar of his overcoat, and hurried past the tall figure. And Barthorpe on his part never looked at the reporter or if he did, took no more heed of him than of the balustrade at his side. "That's one thing established, anyway!" mused Triffitt as he went his way.
The boy paused with one hand raised above his head, prepared to pull the tent flap quickly back in place in case the stranger chanced to glance that way, all the while gazing at the man with unbelieving eyes. Was he dreaming? Tad wondered, pinching himself to make sure that he really was awake.

He put the parcel back in his pocket. "I bought two yards yesterday after I got a letter at Haney." Smith sat looking at the gay curtains before him. The fury of the storm was dying down into fitful gusts.
There was gray beyond the flap of Philip's tent, a velvet stillness rife with the melody of twittering birds. Already the camp fire was crackling. Philip rose and dressed. Beyond, through the ghostly trees where the river glimmered in the gray dawn with a pearly iridescence, a girl was fishing.
It would not turn; and she bent down to look at it. "Why why, some one's been tampering with the lock! It's broken!" she cried. "I told you I'd seen a burglar!" cried the millionaire triumphantly. "He was after the keys." Sonia drew back the flap of the bureau and hastily pulled open the drawer in which the keys had been.
For when we were shut in by the wooden apron, the man drove so fast that Flo was frightened, and told me to stop him, but he was up outside behind somewhere, and I couldn't get at him. He didn't hear me call, nor see me flap my parasol in front, and there we were, quite helpless, rattling away, and whirling around corners at a breakneck pace.
