Here come the slaves bearing your robes, and with them I leave you." So with their assistance I dressed myself, first in good, clean under-linen, then in wide woollen trousers and vest, and lastly in a fur-lined camel-hair robe dyed black that was very comfortable to wear, and in appearance not unlike a long overcoat.

A flat cap of the same material and a pair of boots made of untanned hide completed my attire.
Scarcely was I ready when the yellow-faced servants, with many bows, took me by the hand and led me down the passages and stairs of the Gate-house to its door.

Here, to my great joy, I found Leo, looking pale and troubled, but otherwise as well as I could expect after his sickness.

He was attired like myself, save that his garments were of a finer quality, and the overcoat was white, with a hood to it, added, I suppose, to protect the wound in his head from cold and the sun.

This white dress I thought became him very well, also about it there was nothing grotesque or even remarkable.
