A conclave of honour was immediately assembled; and after long disputes, they agreed, that an involuntary offence, especially from such a kind of man, d'un tel homme, might be attoned by concessions.
A firm loud tread was now heard stamping outside; the door was opened about six inches, and somebody on the other side exclaimed "Neighbours, have ye got room for a few new-born lambs?"
