1432. A certain one from among their earthly inhabitants was shown to me, not unlike people of our earth-dressed in clothes of a dark blue color, symbolizing their disposition (wid om armarna, nestan som hos oss, med sadana armar, som brukas i England, i stelle for handklaffar).* Whether their people are so dressed, I do not know, or whether their minds were being thus portrayed. They only said, when I later portrayed such a person to them in that dress, that he had recognized them, or us.** * Swedish for "wide around the arms, almost as our are, but with sleeves such as are customary in England instead of cuffs." ** Thus darkening their answer withambiguity [see 1422].
