To be brief, the two went behind a hedge, and presently Israel emerged, presenting the most forlorn appearance conceivable; while the old ditcher hobbled off in an opposite direction, correspondingly improved in his aspect; though it was rather ludicrous than otherwise, owing to the immense bagginess of the sailor-trowsers flapping about his lean shanks, to say nothing of the spare voluminousness of the pea-jacket.
Emerson, who, in her daintiness and quiet charm, suggested an old New England garden. Of Abby May and Edna Cheney I retain a general impression of "bagginess" of loose jackets over loose waistbands, of escaping locks of hair, of bodies seemingly one size from the neck down.
