" For milliners and dress-makers she had no sym- pathy ; they would have been a useless race had all been like her. In the very heat of summer she was sometimes seen dressed in an old washed-out yellow gown, which she always held up so as to exhibit a yellow white petticoat ; she would then also weaf* a blackish silk cloak, something of the scarf shape, which might have been Margery's finest adornings for thirty or forty years, but her favourite and general dress was an old gray duifie coat, — ...none of your mandarins, full and short, with hanging sleeves, — but tight eveiy way, and only so short as to save the bottom from wearing away against the stones, and expose to view her gold buckles, the same, we may suppose, as graced the under members of her great-grandmother centuries a'^o ! This said grey doublet was confined at the old maiden's waist with a hemp-cord, and had a hood, which was drawn up under a brownish-black bonnet of indescribable shape ; she generally used pattens, and carried in her hand a gold-headed cane.
