Zilpha, being just Hiram's age, as was woman's right, blossomed first, and became a demure, marriageable little Mormoness in long dresses (or, as a perverse Gentile friend used to call Mormon little girls, a "Mormoniculess," Mormon little boys being similarly "Mormonicles")," while Hiram was blushing at the shortness of a roundabout, which he felt still more ashamed to exchange for that uneasily self-conscious garment, a coat with tails.
1871, Fitz Hugh Ludlow, The Heart of the Continent
