He was dressed in top boots, a green riding-coat, yellow waistcoat, and drab cassimere small clothes quite in jockey trim, in fact. Hycy rather resembled his father in the lineaments of his face, and was, consequently, considered handsome. He was about the middle size, and remarkably well proportioned.
As to Lousteau, the wretch had assumed his war-paint patent leather boots, trousers of English kerseymere with pleats in front, a very open waistcoat showing a particularly fine shirt and the black brocade waterfall of his handsome cravat, and a very thin, very short black riding-coat.
"Hold there, neighbor; can you direct me to the mansion of that celebrated barrister, Mr. Ritchie?" There was no mistaking that voice it was Nicholas Temple's. I heard a laugh and an answer, the gate slammed, and Mr. Temple himself in a long gray riding-coat, booted and spurred, stood before me. "Davy," he cried, "come out here and hug me. Why, you look as if I were your grandmother's ghost."
Then the master drew his green riding-coat of thin velvet closer round him, and buttoned the lappet in front, because he had heavy weight in the pockets. Keeping warily along the lines of shadow, he gained a place of vantage in the shrubbery, a spot of thick shelter having loops of outlook.
Fithian thus describes a ball given by Richard Lee, of Lee Hall, Westmoreland County. "We set away from Mr. Carter's at two; Mrs. Carter and the young ladies in the chariot, ... myself on horseback.

A tall young man whose shaped riding-coat failed to hide that which his jewelled hands and small French hat would alone have betrayed that he was dressed in the height of fashion stepped down. A room and a bottle of your best claret, he said.

She was an excellent woman in her way, albeit somewhat given to terrors both real and fanciful. Her opposite neighbor was a man past the prime of life, owner and breeder of large herds of cattle near Wancote, a man who, after attending the Newbury markets, often returned home by this very coach, and was believed to carry large sums of money in the flap-pockets of his many-caped riding-coat.
