So come along, sweet-and-twenty, and help me pack my buskins."
"Hetty Wesley"
Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch

"The White Gauntlet"
Mayne Reid
I saw there was not a moment to lose, and proceeded to dress with all despatch; but, to my misery, I discovered every where nothing but theatrical robes and decorations-there lay a splendid turban, here a pair of buskins-a spangled jacket glittered on one table, and a jewelled scimitar on the other.
