Hello:
~~~
[Boy journeying across Texas then Mexico, in an irregular military
company. They are prisoners here, ogling their next outfit.]
They saw the governor himself erect and formal within his silkmullioned
sulky clatter forth from the double doors of the palace courtyard and
they saw one day a pack of viciouslooking humans mounted on unshod
indian ponies riding half drunk through the streets, bearded, barbarous,
clad in the skins of animals stitched up with thews and armed with
weapons of every description, revolvers of enormous weight and
bowieknives the size of claymores and short twobarreled rifles with
bores you could stick your thumbs in and the trappings of their horses
fashioned out of human skin and their bridles woven up from human hair
and decorated with human teeth and the riders wearing scapulars or
necklaces of dried and blackened human ears.
Blood Meridian, by Cormac McCarthy

"silkmullioned sulky": the sulky has a cover, which has mullioned
windows, curtained with silk?
Thanks.

ObWordFormation: I think the mullions have to be of silk.
