For dress the insect wore a dark blue swallowtail coat with a yellow silk lining and a flower in the button hole; a vest of white duck that stretched tightly across the wide body; knickerbockers of fawn colored plush, fastened at the knees with gilt buckles; and, perched upon its small head, was jauntily set a tall silk hat.

It must be admitted that the round, black eyes were rather bulging in appearance; but the expression upon the Woggle-Bug’s face was by no means unpleasant.
