As for Nicky's smoking jacket, it was different from Barnabas'. Nicky's was a grey silk thing (my, but he was fond of grey). Barn's was green and long, almost like a dress. Nicky's was short.
I checked again, Barnabas's grey silk lounging thing had black lapels, Nicholas's had grey lapels, but the two were very similar. Yes Indeed! Nicholas did love grey. I wonder who made that decision; that he would always dress in grey. As I read these notes, it appears Barnabas had many different "smoking jackets", in different colors. Nick only got one.
