"A friend in New York," he said, "sent me a very fine cloak of India Rubber, and a hat of the same material. I did not succeed very well with them. I took the cloak one day and set it out in the cold. It stood very well by itself. I surmounted it with the hat, and many persons passing by supposed they saw, standing by the porch, the Farmer of Marshfield."
The men say he's so strange they don't like to leave him alone but he drives them away when they go to speak to him.

"How do men name the lad?" inquired Sigurd. "And whose son is he?" "Whose son he may be is no concern of mine," answered the merchant.
"Surely," said Callisthenes, "you cannot but admit this country to be colder than Greece, for there you used to have but one threadbare cloak to keep out the coldest winter, and here you have three good warm mantles one over another."
The dark cloak about her had fallen a little aside, and showed a gleam of white neck emerging from snowy drapery underneath it was, to his fancy, as though a white rose- petal had been suddenly and delicately unfurled. He longed to kiss that virginal whiteness, and trembled at the audacity of his own desire.

"I have speculated upon that side of it," easily, "and am willing to take the risk. In time you would forget all about the sword and the cloak, since they can in no wise be associated with me.
