are there oyster crackers in the pocket?

"...Just as I was leaving, Fitch showed me the buffalo coat. He got it cheap from a man who went east on the last train running, and had to have money to buy his ticket. Fitch said I could have the coat for ten dollars. Ten dollars is a lot of money, but--" -On the Banks of Plum Creek, Chapter 40, "The Fourth Day"

Okay, so it's not real buffalo hide, but you get the idea. And it is a little coat - rather, it's half of one - because rosebunting kept the other half for her tree. I pity her poor Ken doll, only wearing half a coat these days.
