The original quest was to find all references to "HAT", but then
there were several comments added about "CAP", so I made another
run on the string, " CAP". Amazing how many lines have the word,
"Captain" in them. Tried to scan throu this huge stack to weed out
the unwanted references to find just the reference to the type of
head gear, known as a "CAP". I may have missed a few. Saw
nothing of a reference to TEDDER wearing a cap, as another
note to this forum suggested. Maybe I just missed it.
Most frequest reference to "Cap" was concerning the red woolly
stocking caps worn by the Amazons. Nancy used a bathing cap when
running through the rain. The Swallows had two white caps, one
for Titty, but not sure who wore the second white cap. Dorothea
wore a green cap. There was the cap worn by Billy when he was
being a chauffeur. The Dutch children wore caps. Dick almost
lost his cap when he went overboard when his quant got stuck.
Rabbit fur was made into cold weather caps. The Hullabaloos wore
yachting caps and berets also. And the chimney to the "Death and
Glory" also wore a tin cap.
