The Preacher was at home on the outskirts, a little man, round and rosy, with black eyes and a cheery voice. He was attired entirely in blanket-cloth, baggy trousers and a long blouse, so that he looked not unlike a Turkish Santa Claus, Oriental as to under, and arctic as to upper rigging. 'Are you a clergyman? said Waring, inspecting him with curious eyes.
He had replaced his parka with his fur cap and blanket-cloth coat, kicked off his frozen moccasins, and was dancing in his stocking feet. After wetting himself to the knees late that afternoon, he had run on without changing his foot-gear, and to the knees his long German socks were matted with ice. In the warmth of the room it began to thaw and to break apart in clinging chunks.
A loose surtout of thick green blanket-cloth, somewhat faded and worn, adds to the colossal appearance of the man: while a red-flannel shirt serves him also for a vest.
The ample surtout of greenish blanket-cloth, a little further faded the red skirt underneath the coarse horse-skin boots rising to his thighs the crimson kerchief turbaned around his head, its loose flap falling down over his shaggy eyebrows were all identical with the portrait remaining in my memory. I watched him with eager eye. Was it his intention to step nearer and examine us?
