This group was opened by a robust young fellow driving a couple of cows; he wore the general dress of the country, a short blue coarse cloth coat; and breeches of the same, open at the knees; but he also possessed the luxury of shoes and stockings" (1804) "I here had a specimen, if not a clerical poverty, at least of rusticity.
