He wore a turban, a blue uniform and a pair of uncomfortable looking boots. He was chatting with a comrade when she passed with her fellow workers carrying two baskets well filled with earth. He took no notice, of her until she was half way down the kill: "Then he ran. He was" not "a" graceful sight.
