I like that stern sectarian who wants to dress Taglioni in a stuff-gown and sabots, and set Liszt's hands to turn the machinery of a wine-press, and who yet, as he lies on the grass, finds the tears come into his eyes at the least linnet's song, and who makes a disturbance in the theatre to stop Othello from murdering Malibran!

Drake's departure had left her alone, she unpacked her box, and dressed herself for the evening. She put on a lavender-colored stuff-gown half-mourning for Mrs. Girdlestone; ordered for all the servants, under the admiral's instructions a white muslin apron, and a neat white cap and collar, with ribbons to match the gown.
As excursions among the poor twice a week could not seem improbable, I let them account for the plain stuff-gown and unfashionable hat that I wore on the occasion of my down-town visits, and limited myself accordingly.
His dress was the simple, coarse, white stuff-gown of the Dominican friars, over which he wore a darker travelling-garment of coarse cloth, with a hood, from whose deep shadows his bright mysterious eyes looked like jewels from a cavern.
