They, of course, always speak well of their own work! When I was in the Temple I could not help thinking of the unfortunate Louis XVI. He was an excellent man, but too amiable, too gentle for the times. He knew not how to deal with mankind! And Sir Sidney Smith! I made them show me his apartment. If the fools had not let him escape I should have taken St. Jean d'Acre!
There were eleven Arapahoe warriors with their chief, and these, together with Mr. Duncan, Howe, Sidney, and Lewis, made fifteen, all well armed and mounted. Led by Howe and Whirlwind, they noiselessly gained a place where they could obtain a fair view of the enemy, who were in high altercation on some point on which they seemed to be divided. "Now is our time," said Howe.
Bruno is a harmless old soul," replied Sidney, pulling up to turn into the narrow gateway. There was no time to make further inquiries. Sidney led the way into the drawing-room. The ladies were there. "My mother, Mr. Bodery my sister; my sister Hilda," he blurted out awkwardly. Mrs. Carew shook hands, and the two young ladies bowed. They were all disappointed in Mr. Bodery.

The change from salt provisions to fresh meat, with an abundance of fruit and vegetables, had been very pleasant, and added to the good temper and harmony that prevailed. Edgar had not felt time hang heavily on his hands, for he was constantly on shore with Sir Sidney Smith, who found his services as interpreter of great value.
