Ethelbert Stanhope was dressed in light blue from head to foot.

He had on the loosest possible blue coat, cut square like a shooting coat, and very short.

It was lined with silk of azure blue.

He had on a blue satin waistcoat, a blue neck-handkerchief which was fastened beneath his throat with a coral ring, and very loose blue trousers which almost concealed his feet.
