On his head was the regulation Boy Scout hat, but it was several sizes too big, and was squashed down upon his immense red ears.

He wore a very ancient khaki shirt, which had once belonged to a full-grown soldier, and the spacious sleeves were rolled up at the shoulders and tied with string, revealing a pair of skinny arms.

Round his middle hung what was meant to be a kilt--a kilt of home manufacture, which may once have been a tablecloth, for its bold pattern suggested no known clan tartan.

He had a massive belt, in which was stuck a broken gully-knife, and round his neck was knotted the remnant of what had once been a silk bandanna.

His legs and feet were bare, blue, scratched, and very dirty, and this toes had the prehensile look common to monkeys and small boys who summer and winter go bootless.
