When the trumpet had in its turn ceased, with its thrilling and doleful notes, to agitate the immense assembly, the voice of the herald again addressed them.
If credit were due to his assertions, he cherished none of those aspiring thoughts which agitate the breasts of the ambitious; the consciousness of his weakness taught him to shrink from the responsibility of power; and at every step in his ascent to greatness, he affected to sacrifice his own feelings to the judgment and importunity of others.

If you go in and agitate him now, I won't give that for his chances of lasting through the night." He snapped his fingers without taking his eyes from the other's face. "Is it true?" the Frenchman said. "It is absolutely true."
So they had still matter to agitate their youthful breasts, and Nick's gradual building up of tens, and prophecies and speculations as to his chances of completing the hundred, were still vehemently confided to the field, amid a general mopping of faces. Evan did become aware that a man was following him. The man had not the look of a dreaded official.
