"We shall fancy we are princes, Dick, and get spoiled altogether for a midshipman's berth." The sledge was of graceful form, painted deep blue.

The seats were covered with furs, while an apron of silver fox-skin was wrapped round their legs.

The driver sat perched up on a high seat in front.

He was a tall, stately figure, with an immense beard.

On his head was the cap of black sheep-skin, which may be considered the national head-dress.
He wore a long fur-lined coat of dark blue, fitting somewhat tightly, and reaching to his ankles.
