Note
One spelling does double duty here: it is the simple past (they canvased the wagon) and the participle after have or in the passive (the frame was canvased). Its living meaning is covering something with canvas. Older writing also used canvas as a spelling of canvass, so canvased there can stand for today's canvassed. In modern prose, keep the single s for the cloth and the double s for the other verb.
