One is a rough suit, like a working man's, another is a black-and-white sort of suit--a check suit; de oder one is for you--a clargy's suit, sir.
You make very nice young minister, for sure." "All right, Dan!" Vincent said, laughing; "give me the minister's suit." "Then I will be the countryman," Geary said.
