And what has he been after that they groan and shake their fists?
And wherefore is he wearing such a conscience-stricken air?
Oh theyre taking him to prison for the colour of his hair.”

“When children dress like adults they are more likely to behave as adults do, to imitate adult actions. It is hard to walk like an adult male wearing corduroy knickers that make an awful noise. But boys in long pants can walk like men, and little girls in tight jeans can walk like women.”
