He was armed cap-a-pie in the fashions of suave society; no Bohemianism of garb or person, for Jasper knew he could not afford that kind of economy. On her part, Amy was much better dressed than usual, a costume suited to her position of bereaved heiress.

They don't make 'em as bad as him any more. He busted the mould." George turned, and spying the new-comer, approached, eyeing him with critical disfavour. Captain saw a bear-like figure, clad cap-a-pie in native fashion.
"This should be Azerdun," said he; "and there inside, as I live, stands Azer getting in his crops. But who has he with him?" With the old man were some half-dozen men of his own rank; some helping the serfs with might and main; one or two standing on the top of the banks, as if on the lookout; but all armed cap-a-pie.
