clothes fit me well?
TAIL. No doubt about it. I defy any painter with his pencil to draw you anything to fit more exactly. I have in my house a workman who to get up a rhinegrave is the greatest genius of our time, and another who in putting together a doublet is the hero of our age. MR. JOUR. Are the wig and feathers as they should be? TAIL. Everything is right. MR. JOUR. (_looking carefully at the tailor's coat_). Oh! oh! Mr. Tailor, you have there some of the stuff of the last coat you made for me! I know it well. TAIL. I thought the stuff so beautiful that I could not help cutting a coat from it for myself. MR. JOUR. Yes; but you should not have cut it from mine. TAIL. Will you put on your coat? MR. JOUR. Yes; give it me. TAIL. Wait a moment. Things are not done in that manner. I have brought my people with me to dress you to music; such coats as these are only put on with ceremony. Hullo there! Come in. |
