Страница 39 - Duval wore one of those fanciful children's dresses which are expensive as well as in good taste ; his coat was skillfully fitted to his figure, his trousers came down in plaits from his waist to his boots of polished leather with mother-of-pearl buttons, and his ringlets were half hid by a velvet cap. The appearance of his guide, on the contrary, was that of the class who dwell on the extreme borders...
Страница 40 - The countenances of the two children were not less different than their dresses.
