Among this people the women are treated with more decorum than in any part of the Indias we had visited. They wear a shirt of cotton that falls as low as the knee, and over it half sleeves with skirts reaching to the ground, made of drest deerskin. It opens in front, and is brought close with straps of leather.
Johnson, 'That all things considered, she thought he should certainly go. I flew back to him, still in dust, and careless of what should be the event, 'indifferent in his choice to go or stay; but as soon as I had announced to him Mrs. Williams' consent, he roared, 'Frank, a clean shirt, and was very soon drest.
My mamma had a very sweet voice. I remember now the gentle tone in which she used to say my prattle did not disturb her. When I was drest in my new frock, I wished poor mamma was alive to see how fine I was on papa's wedding-day, and I ran to my favourite station at her bed-room door.
A man whose name I have forgotten a great lover of notoriety appropriated the following verses by the younger Crebellon and went to the Bastille rather than disown them. "All the world's upside down! Jupiter has donned the gown the King. Venus mounts the council stair the Pompadour. Plutus trifles with the fair M. de Boulogne. Mercury in mail is drest Marechal de Richelieu.
It was really repulsive to look on images of the Saviour covered with blood, and generally with swords sticking in different parts of the body. The Almighty is represented as an old man, wearing a Bishop's mitre, and the image of the Virgin is always drest in a gay silk robe, with beads and other ornaments.

Lincoln, drest all in black, with white kid gloves and a claw-hammer coat, receiving, as in duty bound, shaking hands, looking very disconsolate, and as if he would give anything to be somewhere else. Looking over my scraps, I find I wrote the following during 1864. The happening to our America, abroad as well as at home, these years, is indeed most strange.
'How pleased all the poor people will be, mamma! said Elizabeth, taking up a gown from the basket; 'it is rather coarse cloth though, I think, mamma. 'It would be very coarse for you to wear, Elizabeth, replied Mrs. Mortimer, 'because you are born in a state of affluence, and therefore it is becoming that you should be drest according to the fortune of your papa.
He was drest in a shabby blew coat, with white seems and copper buttons; a torn hat was on his head, and great quantaties of matted hair and whiskers disfiggared his countnints. He was not shaved, and as pale as stone. My lord and lady didn tak the slightest notice of him, but past on to the carridge. Me and Mortimer lickwise took OUR places.
Their military discipline was much ruder than ours, and accordingly produced much greater effects. The younger Scipio, reforming his army in Spain, ordered his soldiers to eat standing, and nothing that was drest.
