Question

One day last summer the author was travelling to Pittsburg by chair car. What does he say about his co-passengers?

Answer 1

The author was travelling in a chair car in previous summer and he talked of the crowd as people of the kind one usually sees on the chair cars. Most of them happened to be ladies draped in brown-silk dresses cut with square yokes with lace insertion and dotted veils, they would refuse to have windows raised. There were many men, one could not predict their business judging them by their looks, and they could be just going about anywhere.
