While we wait I 'll explain , and then you will appreciate the general effect better . I got hold of this little book , and was struck with its good sense and good taste , for it suggests a way to clothe women both healthfully and handsomely , and that is a great point . It begins at the foundations , as you will see if you will look at these pictures , and I should think women would rejoice at this lightening of their burdens . '' As he spoke , the Doctor laid the book before Aunt Plenty , who obediently brought her spectacles to bear upon the illustrations , and after a long look exclaimed , with a scandalised face , `` Mercy on us , these things are like the night-drawers Jamie wears ! You do n't mean to say you want Rose to come out in this costume ? It 's not proper , and I wo n't consent to it ! '' `` I do mean it , and I 'm sure my sensible aunt will consent when she understands that these well I 'll call them by an Indian name , and say pajamas are for underwear , and Rose can have as pretty frocks as she likes outside . These two suits of flannel , each in one piece from head to foot , with a skirt or so hung on this easily-fitting waist , will keep the child warm without burdening her with belts , and gathers , and buckles , and bunches round the waist , and leave free the muscles that need plenty of room to work in . She shall never have the back-ache if I can help it , nor the long list of ills you dear women think you can not escape . '' `` I do n't consider it modest , and I 'm sure Rose will be shocked at it , '' began Mrs. Clara , but stopped suddenly , as Rose appeared in the doorway , not looking shocked a bit . `` Come on , my hygienic model , and let us see you , '' said her uncle , with an approving glance , as she walked in , looking so mischievously merry , that it was evident she enjoyed the joke . `` Well , I do n't see anything remarkable . That is a neat , plain suit ; the materials are good , and it 's not unbecoming , if you want her to look like a little school-girl ; but it has not a particle of style , and no one would ever give it a second glance , '' said Mrs. Clara , feeling that her last remark condemned the whole thing . `` Exactly what I want , '' answered the provoking Doctor , rubbing his hands with a satisfied air . `` Rosy looks now like what she is , a modest little girl , who does not want to be stared at . I think she would get a glance of approval , though , from people who like sense and simplicity rather than fuss and feathers . Revolve , my Hebe , and let me refresh my eyes by the sight of you . '' There was very little to see , however , only a pretty Gabrielle dress , of a soft warm shade of brown , coming to the tops of a trim pair of boots with low heels . A seal-skin sack , cap , and mittens , with a glimpse of scarlet at the throat , and the pretty curls tied up with a bright velvet of the same colour , completed the external adornment , making her look like a robin redbreast wintry , yet warm . `` How do you like it , Rosy ? ''
asked the Doctor , XXXXX that her opinion was more important to the success of his new idea than that of all the aunts on the hill .
