"...yellow waistcoat, demmit."

'It's very easy to talk,'said Mrs Mantalini.'Not so easy when one is eating a demnition egg,'replied Mr Mantalini; 'for the yolk runs down the waistcoat, and yolk of egg does not match any waistcoat but a yellow waistcoat, demmit.'

- Charles Dickens
Nicholas Nickleby, ch.17.


For the Record,
This day came in sunny and steamy, no vest of yellow needed. Off to painting on the fly.
