Yet, every garment became him remarkably well, and it would have been ex- ceedingly difficult to have suggested any im- provement. I have said that he was old, but that hardly expresses the truth. He was of indefinite age. ST. NICHOLAS. 85 He looked as though he had stopped growing old a thousand years ago, and had remained in a state of most wonderful preservation ever since. In his motions, he gave no signs of decay; he moved nimbly, with a skip and a jerk, and twisted his limbs when he tried... to compose himself to rest with most extraordi- nary and comical suppleness. Neither could any have inferred that he was advanced in life from his voice, which was cricket-like in its shrillness, and strong enough to have roused the deaf. This visitor of strange extremes had on his back a kind of peddler's pack, full of com- modities of various descriptions; even his capacious pockets were crowded with a multi- plicity of articles.
