“Even the better class of people put up with very bad hats or mambrinos of all shapes and sizes.”

“The women, in white smocks and blue petticoats, walked barefoot in the mud and boulders, carrying their yellow boots with red heels in their hands. The long locks of each man falling from beneath his Mambrino hat, looked as if each of them had just taken a bath, but this appearance was due only to the good oiling or greasing of Sunday morning.”
