His anxiety, for instance, when he read of the young aide de camp being shot and dragged by the stirrup, to know "what became of the empty horse," was very entertaining; and when he had read the description of Davoust's face and person, where I describe his nose, as neither fine nor dumpy a fair enough proboscis as noses go, he laid down the Log with the most laughable seriousness.
