 The Long Day Running, by Patrick O'Brian
Since the song "D'ye ken John Peel" was first published, Peel's "coat so gray" has been a puzzle to folks who do not know Cumberland; and from time to time northerners have been instructed, sometimes condescendingly, sometimes with ridicule, that this reading is wrong.
Of course Cumbrians know that John Peel's coat was gray, and why it was gray, and all about it, but the proof does not always lie to hand when wiseacres state the contrary; so it may be well to place on record here some clinchers wherewith to meet the fallacy of the pink one.
Peel's gray coat is no more a myth than himself, for I well remember the long, rough, grey garment which almost came down to his knees.
