Topee

I lent my topee to Camarião, who looked extremely odd in it.

There were a few people on the platform, among them two Indian police, and a station oflicial with a white topee.

'Not a drop of perspiration on his face,' Ned had commented, 'and in the tropics now no one wears a topee, except certain regiments, and Peter the Planter's type of topee blows off in anything over a five-knot breeze.'
