In fact, they seemed about as tall as Dorothy, who was a well-grown child for her age, although they were, so far as looks go, many years older.
かれらは ドロシーとおなじくらいのせたけに みえた。
Three were men and one a woman, and all were oddly dressed.

The hats of the men were blue; the little woman’s hat was white, and she wore a white gown that hung in pleats from her shoulders.
