They stood the whole time, occasionally leaning against a table or the piano, in their blue silk gowns.

I urged them to sit.

"The costumes of Cambridge and Oxford are very amusing, and show, more than anything I have seen, the old-fogyism of English ways.

Dr.Whewell wore, on this occasion, a long gown reaching nearly to his feet, of rich scarlet, and adorned with flowing ribands.
