That strong, weather-beaten, dark-whiskered young man, who, from his appearance, I should have expected to have a loud gruff voice, spoke on the contrary in the most quiet, pleasant way; and in a very little time, after having at first eyed him askance, the younger children collected round him, and were soon listening eagerly to an account he was giving them of some of his sea adventures, and which, when I overheard, I found he was exactly adapting to their comprehensions.
"The Emperor!" repeated each voice in turn, even to the poor landlord, whose caution was stronger than his loyalty. "The Emperor, and may Heaven preserve him!" said the dark-whiskered fellow. "The Emperor, and may Heaven forgive him!" said the host, who this time uttered the true sentiments of his heart, without knowing it. "Forgive him!" roared three or four together, "forgive him what?"
Mr. Hazeldean was still in the Square, when he came upon Randal himself, who was walking with a dark-whiskered, showy gentleman, towards Egerton's house.
