Quote #7
He was tall, trim-built, muscular. His doublet and trunks were of rich material, but faded and threadbare, and their gold-lace adornments were sadly tarnished; his ruff was rumpled and damaged; the plume in his slouched hat was broken and had a bedraggled and disreputable look; at his side he wore a long rapier in a rusty iron sheath; his swaggering carriage marked him at once as a ruffler of the camp. (11.11)
Who else could this be but Sir Miles Hendon? We love this guy, but he seriously needs some new clothes. Like a pauper, it looks like Miles may only have one set of clothes—even if they used to be fancy. What do his clothes tell you about him?
Quote #8
"Welcome! Many have sought sanctuary here, but they were not worthy, and were turned away. But a king who casts his crown away, and despises the vain splendors of his office, and clothes his body in rags, to devote his life to holiness and the mortification of the flesh—he is worthy, he is welcome!—here shall he abide all his days till death come." (20.11)
Prince Edward's clothes lead to another case of mistaken identity. Only this time, the crazy hermit actually believes he's the king. Unfortunately, he doesn't look like the king—otherwise, he might actually convince people.
Quote #9
The matter standeth simply thus: she must have known my face, my figure, my voice, for how could it be otherwise? Yet she said she knew me not, and that is proof perfect, for she cannot lie. (26.14)
Here, Miles Hendon is talking about Lady Edith and how she denied him. Even though his clothes were very different, she seems to have recognized him, much in the way Tom's mom recognizes him even though he's dressed up like a king. How? Why?
