text_original: One of these men was tall, and wore the black gown and close clipped hair of a Lutheran minister ; the other  was shorter, and wore a hermit's robe tied with a girdle of rope. The hood drawn over his face concealed all but his long black beard, and his hands were entirely hidden by his flowing sleeves.
