Then the trousers narrowed gradually until at last the Italian called Pantaloni fitted them close to the body; he wore them and visited England in them, and the English admired them and copied them and gave them their owner's name — and so it was the pantalon... Then George the Fifth turned up their cuffs so that the mud should not touch them, and forgot to let down what he had turned up at the party; the princes thought it a fashion and imitated him — he

was then Prince of Wales... And at this costume men have set down their baggage and halted — apart from the riding dress of the horsemen of Europe in its several kinds, and the clothes for horseback and other occasions.
