Excerpt from All Sorts and Conditions of Men, Vol. 2 of 3: An Impossible Story
In business houses, working men, 'even of the gentle craft Of cabinet-making, generally carry with them tools, sometimes wear an apron, always have their trousers turned up, and never wear a collar-using, instead, a red muffler, which keeps the throat warmer, and does not so readily show the effects of London fog and smoke. Also some of their garments are sometimes made of corduroy, and their jackets have bulging pockets, and their hats not unfrequently have a pipe stuck in them. This young working man repaired to the trysting - place in the easy attire in which he was wont to roam about the bowers of the East End. That is to say, he looked like a care lessly dressed gentleman.
Harry found, at the office, his uncle, Mr. Bunker, who snorted when he saw his nephew.
