Thatched roofs are always hung with "daglets" in frost; thatch holds a certain amount of moisture, as of mist, and this drips during the day and so forms stalactites of ice, often a foot or more in length. "Clout" is a "dictionary word," a knock on the head, but it is pronounced differently here; they say a "clue" in the head.
In bitter winter weather the servants in the dairies who have much to do with buckets of water, and spend the morning in splashing for dairies need much of that kind of thing sometimes find that the drops have frozen as they walk, and discover that their aprons are fringed with "daglets," i.e. icicles.
