I am travelling under the name of Vincent." "And I," replied Changarnier, "am called Leblanc." Each was placed with his two police agents in a separate carriage. The latter were armed.
I don't doubt that Sir Jervis Redwood is the earthly alias which he finds convenient but I stick to that first impression which appeared to surprise you. 'Ha! an artist; you seem to be the sort of man I want! In those terms he introduced himself. Observe, if you please, that my trap caught him the moment he came my way. Who wouldn't be an artist?"

The messenger replied, that his success was owing to a youth of noble aspect and invincible courage, who had first destroyed a ferocious wolf, then a dragon, and had afterwards dragged Alíás from his horse, with as much ease as if he had been a chicken, and laid him prostrate at the feet of the king of Rúm. Lohurásp enquired his name, and he answered, Gushtásp.
'Pray take care of the young surgeon, M. Le Coq, and see that he wants for nothing. As the lad gets no money from his relations, he may be in need. Charles, on March 28, writes thus to 'Madame de Beauregard, which appears to be an alias of Madame de Talmond: The Prince. March 28, 1750. 'A Md. Bauregor.
