However, he had actually not lived rs
many years rs some who had moi been
thought Of yet Us moro than middle

A prudent, saving boy, h. H&d gone

miserly elderly man. His long, straight
brown coat, his shabby stoyc-pipc hat,
his wriuklel boots, and the trousers,
which, always too long and full FOR
him, fell over them IN many wrinkles,
seemed always to be the same, and he
had worn one glove five years, having
lost It's mato three years after its pur-
chase.
