Their swallow-tail coats tapered to an arrow-point angle, and the prints of their little delicate calfskin boots in the snow were objects of great admiration to the village boys of the period. I cannot help wondering what brought Emerson and the showy, fascinating John Gourdin together as room-mates. Extract from a Letter to a Classmate. School-Teaching. Study of Divinity. "Approbated" to Preach.
That was when beasts just as human as they are under the skin, fought and killed each other, so those yelling maniacs could get a thrill or two."

Most of these persons had gold rings on their soft white fingers and glove-like kid or calfskin boots on their feet.
They drew up their shoulders and walked on. Sanna took hold of the strap by which Conrad had his calfskin bag fastened about his shoulders and thus they proceeded on their way. They still had not reached the post. The boy was not sure about the time, because the sun was not shining and all was a monotonous gray. "Shall we reach the post soon?" asked the girl.
