Its breath so informs the natural body that the spiritual body begins to plume its wings within, and I seem appareled in celestial light. A few paragraphs from letters written by Hawthorne follow: Six o'clock, P. M. What a wonderful vision that is the dream-angel.
Appareled gaily, each cavalier wore roquelaure and belt, and in their midst they bore a prisoner the veteran Jean.

A newsboy recognized him.
Now, although Bright-Wits was arrayed in the richest of garments, the Brahman was simply appareled in the white robes of his order; his only ornament being three great rings of gold encircling the cone above his turban.
