A throng of bearded men, in sad-coloured garnments, and gray, steeple-crowned hats, intermixed with women, some wearing hoods, and others bareheaded, was assembled in front of a wooden edifice, the door of which was heavily timbered with oak, and studded with iron pikes.
Nathaniel HAWTHORNE, The Scarlet Letter. A Romance, 1850.
