Her dress was a triumph of tactful discretion, sensible, but not too "touristy" Miss Winchelsea had a great dread of being "touristy" and her Baedeker was carried in a cover of grey to hide its glaring red.

He was not at all "touristy" in his costume, Miss Winchelsea observed; his Gladstone bag was of good pleasant leather with labels reminiscent of Luxembourg and Ostend, and his boots, though brown, were not vulgar. He carried an overcoat on his arm.
