It was M. de Lamartine.
Maynard and Aunt Grace a tall, stalwart, distinguished-looking party in gray travelling-dress had taken his seat close to the door and was deep in the morning's paper before they were fairly away from the station. Laying down the letter she had just finished reading, Mrs. Maynard glanced at her daughter, who was still engaged in one of her own, and evidently with deep interest.
Doctor John first, with his grave manner and low voice so perfectly dressed and quiet: Lucy thought she had never seen his equal in bearing and demeanor, nor one so distinguished-looking not in any circle in Europe; and Uncle Ephraim, grown fat and gouty, leaning on a cane, but still hearty and wholesome, and overjoyed to see her; and Pastor Dellenbaugh his hair was snow-white now and his complacent and unruffled wife; and the others, including Captain Holt, who came in late.

Two of the hens were renowned throughout the whole village, for they wore tufts of feathers on their heads instead of the usual red combs; and the cock was very proud of having such distinguished-looking wives. Besides which, he was naturally a very stately bird himself in appearance, and had a splendid blackish-green tail and a golden speckled hackle, which shone and glistened in the sun.
