Her long, black hair hanging about her shoulders, and her tawny, Indian countenance, with her ghost-like figure dressed in a white habiliment, struck him with a sort of terror that wellnigh made him run. "Who is that, at this time of night?" inquired the woman, in a low voice. "It's only me. I'm lost, and can't find my way to our vessel," said Tommy, in a half-crying tone.
Everything hymn, tolling bell, lights, boys, friars, procession was accessory to that veiled, slow-marching figure. And in habiliment, movement, air, with what telling force it impersonated sorrow! On the other hand, how deep and consuming the sorrow itself must be!
I might here if it so pleased me dilate upon the matter of habiliment, and other mere circumstances of the external metaphysician.
Exactly facing me was seated a fair one most becomingly enveloped in this envied habiliment, and enjoying with modest complacency, but visible triumph, the admiration with which the eyes of her country-women were fixed upon her garment.

D. G. Mag. Brit. Fra. & Hib. Rex, Anno Dom. 1727.
And all this while they furnished them and garnished them of good men of arms, and victual, and of all manner of habiliment that pretendeth to the war, to avenge them for the battle of Bedegraine, as it telleth in the book of adventures following. THEN after the departing of King Ban and of King Bors, King Arthur rode into Carlion.
