style.

dressed.
Webster's 1st ed., 1828
In his person he was neat
in the extreme. In early life, his dress, equipage, and
appointments were fastidiously appropriate to his rank. As
he grew old, although preserving his extreme neatness,
his dress was plainer and he was more indifferent to the
appearance of his equipage. When at Paris, Philadelphia,
and Washington, his furniture, table, servants, [and]
equipage and the tout ensemble of his
establishment were deemed highly appropriate to the
position he held. He was a gentleman everywhere.
Henry S. Randall, Life of Thomas Jefferson (1858) |
I shall begrudge no reasonable expense
that will contribute to the improvement and neatness
of my farms, for nothing pleases me better than to see
them in good order, and everything trim, handsome, and
thriving about them; nor nothing hurts me more than to
find them otherwise.
— George Washington, To William Pearce. |
