3 ½ by 5 ½ inches (14.3 cm high x 9 cm wide), vignetted
Mr. Foliar's head was usually decorated with a very round hat,
unusually high in the crown, and curled up quite tight in the brims.Round his neck he
wore a worsted comforter, whereof the straggling ends peeped out beneath his threadbare
Newmarket coat. He carried in his hand one very dirty glove, and a cheap dress cane with
a glass handle. (382)
