Excerpt from Poor Folk in Spain

We saw a Perez very much polished up by so many years of war. He wore a clean straw hat, new Clothes of the latest cut, a waistcoat of check with ornamental buttons, patent leather boots with a lacquer which flung back the rays of the June sun, and heavy owlish eyeglasses Of tortoiseshell fastened with a broad black ribbon. Indeed, SO transformed was he, that it was he who recognized us; and for some moments we stood trying to pierce through the new respectability, as though it were through a disguise.
