all nations lounge idly by the Span
iards' side, and dark eyed girls in man
tillas, accompanied by duennas, walk
quickly with modest bearing; English
ladies, of mature age, ride past with

black cassOck, thread-bare and almost
green with age; here and there it was
untidily patched, and it was all frayed
at the bottom. His great sharp bones
seemed to stick out of it as if they
would pierce through. I've never seen
a thinner man in my life. He took off
his hat when he came into my office,
