Heavy Collar was the leader.

Most Russians of his careless habits wore soft collars or students' shirts that fastened tight about the neck, but this high white collar was with Markovitch a sign and a symbol, the banner of his early ambitions; it was the first and last of him.

His high, piercing collar was of course the first thing that one saw; then one perceived that his hair was brushed, his beard trimmed, and that he wore a very decent suit of rather shiny black.

His collar was an inch too high, and he was evidently wretched in it.

The collar was just the necklace of the dog, which is here to be seen on the arm of poor Guinea, who was, in most respects, a man for whose equal one might long look in vain.

Collars are the 'all-marks of a slave civilization; they 'ave no place in a free state.

You see, Madam, the collar was a patent waterproof one.
