----And thou art little better, quoth she to the third; for nothing is there in thy panniers but trunk-hose and pantofles--and so to the fourth and fifth, going on one by one through the whole string, till coming to the asse which carries it, she turns the pannier upside down, looks at it--considers it--samples it--measures it--stretches it--wets it--dries it--then takes her teeth both to the warp and weft of it.

'"And thou art little better," quoth she to the third; "for there is nothing in thy panniers but trunk-hose and slippers" - and so to the fourth and fifth, going through the whole string of asses, till coming to the ass which carries it, she turns the pannier upside down, looks at it - considers it - measures it - stretches it - wets it - dries it - then takes her teeth to the warp and weft of it.'
