“Would you read out the description?” said M‘Sally.
“I think you have got on a blue coat and grey trousers,” said the Superintendent.
“Yes, sir.”
“And you have got grey eyes and foxey whiskers?”
“No, sir; black eyes and black whiskers.”
“And you,” said the Superintendent, a little put out, turning to Stewart, “you have a monkey-jacket and buff vest?”
“Yes, sir.”
“And black eyes and beard?”
“No, sir; grey eyes and light whiskers.”
