Excerpt from The Cabin on the Prairie

There, the last hill is dug, and I'm glad! And Tom Jones leaned on his hoe, lost in thought.

He was a stout lad of sixteen, with frowzy brown hair, crowned by a brimless straw hat, and his pants looked as if they had been turned inside out and outside in, upside down and down side up, and darned and patched and re-darned and patched again, until time, and labor, and cloth enough, such as it was, had been used to fabricate a number of pairs of pants. As for boots, for his lower extremities were°not wholly destitute of protection, - they might have come down to him as an heir-loom from a pauper of a preceding generation. But What mattered it to him that his clothes were threadbare, many-hued.
