It was, in sooth, a goodly sight to see the long and brilliant procession formed by the fourteen knights, each so gallantly mounted, so splendidly accoutred, and accompanied by such a host of gentlemen ushers, pages, yeomen, and grooms, some on horseback, and some on foot; and the eye of the looker-on was never wearied of noticing the diversity of their habiliments, some of the knights having cuirasses and helmets, polished as silver, and reflecting the sun's rays as from a mirror, some, russet-coloured armour, some, blue harness, some, fluted, some, corslets damaskeened with gold, and richly ornamented, others, black and lacquered breastplates, as was the case with the harness of Prince Charles, and one, a dead black coat of mail, in the instance of Sir Giles Mompesson.

The rest of her real self was hidden far away inside so many warm garments that in shape she seemed rather like a ball. She was about forty round the waist.
Certainly the short, withered, russet-coloured grass lands of the border country looked forbidding beside the green herbage of the North Saskatchewan. But in 1879 Professor Macoun's investigations had shown that the southern lands had been belied by rumour, and that only a very small section was hopelessly arid.

Her finery was very simple. A short russet-coloured jacket, and a petticoat, of scanty longitude, was her whole dress; but these were clean, and neatly arranged.
He stooped and picked up something from the floor, close to the window, and held it out in the palm of his hand for the inspection of his companions.
