Three hundred tailors were employed in the same manner to make my clothes.

I kneeled down, and they raised a ladder from the ground to my neck; upon this ladder one of them mounted, and let fall a plump line from my collar to the floor, which Just answered the length of my coat but my waist and arms I measured myself.
