A Don Quixote clothed in a woolen doublet, the blue color of which had faded into a nameless shade between lees of wine and a heavenly azure; face long and brown; high cheek-bones, a sign of sagacity; the maxillary muscles enormously developed, an infallible sign by which a Gascon may always be detected, even without his cap.
I thought the was Dumas worded the adj, and adv was neat. Some we here all the time, some we don't. Like nameless, infallible faded. Adjectives like woolen and blue only make scene. If you herd clothed in a tin foil doublet then you would wonder. It this paragraph, adjectives are important for vividness.
