Read the following sentence, the first sentence of George Eliot’s novel Silas Marner: In the days when the spinning-wheels hummed busily in the farmhouses—and even great ladies, clothed in silk and thread-lace, had their toy spinning-wheels of polished oak—there might be seen in districts far away among the lanes, or deep in the bosom of the hills, certain pallid undersized men, who by the side of the brawny country-folk, looked like the remnants of a disinherited race.

What three related words does Eliot provide in this sentence to give a reader a context for understanding the adjective “pallid”?
