Among his other contradictory decorations he had the hat of a bishop and the little gloves of a baby.

His boots were, on a small scale, the boots of a ploughman, while his legs, so crossed and recrossed with scratches that they looked like maps, were bare below a very short pair of plaid drawers finished off with two frills of perfectly different patterns.

The deficient buttons on his plaid frock had evidently been supplied from one of Mr.Jellyby's coats, they were so extremely brazen and so much too large.

Most extraordinary specimens of needlework appeared on several parts of his dress, where it had been hastily mended, and I recognized the same hand on Miss Jellyby's.

She was, however, unaccountably improved in her appearance and looked very pretty.
