His vestments were of the richest silk, and around his neck was a fair chain of beaten gold.

The cap that hid his tonsure was of black velvet, and around the edges of it were rows of jewels that flashed in the sunlight, each stone being set in gold.

His hose were of flame-colored silk, and his shoes of black velvet, the long, pointed toes being turned up and fastened to his knees, and on either instep was embroidered a cross in gold thread.

Beside the Bishop rode the Prior of Emmet upon a mincing palfrey.

Rich were his clothes also, but not so gay as the stout Bishop's.
