Gamp

It was the last day of the match, and owing to rain it was really unfit to play, but the promoters insisted upon our doing so, to satisfy the spectators, who stood round the ground with their umbrellas up. […] One gentleman sat with his gamp up on some rails near the railway.

And it was early morning, and the world was moist, when the crystal-gazer's husband, a freak in knickerbockers with an open coppish and a sabbath gamp, came over the stones outside his house to meet the holy travellers.

In his hand he waved – an appropriate symbol of disapprobation – his London gamp meticulously rolled.
