- Contexto
- Onward now. Trudge, trudge. In his new jacket. You'd think just once God would compliment him. Say, now, Eustace, lad! That's a spiffy coat! Medals, too! Aren't you the cheeky one! Indeed, Eustace's view was that he cut a fine figure in this coat. Who wouldn't think so? Anyone with a fair gaze would be bound to be impressed. He reached society, the quality people would see at a glance the kind of man he was. Style would carry the day.
