CHAPTER 17

Mason stepped from the back room dressed in a dark-blue, long coat with gold buttons, a beige waistcoat, and beige, matching breeches. White stocking covered his legs below the knees, and a white cravat wrapped around his neck. He still wore his lace up brown service boots and he carried a three-point black hat with gold trim.

Dorothy and John stared with mouths agape.

“The breeches are a little tight,” Francois said, as he plucked a bit of lent from Mason’s coat, “but I did the best I could on such short notice.”

“I like it,” Dorothy said. “But you wouldn’t want to get an erection in those pants.”

Francois gave Dorothy a stern look before turning his attention back to Mason. “Like I said, best I could do.” He turned to Dorothy.

“Looks like you’re next,” Mason said.

Dorothy followed Francois and a young lady into the back room leaving Mason and John alone.

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” John said. “Is this really necessary?”

“We need to blend in,” Mason said. “This will help.”

John stared at the breeches. “Are you wearing anything under those?”

“A very long, long-sleeve shirt. The tail extends well past my waist. And what are apparently considered underwear in this time. Thin, baggy material.”

“What did he say about your boots?”

“He expressed some curiosity until I explained that the style is very popular in the Far East. But I ordered high black boots just the same. He measured my feet and said he would take care of it.”

“What about your gun?”

“Rolled up in the buckskin,” Mason said, as he lifted the bundle in his hand.

They both settled in to wait.
