They evidently meant to stay, and if our wounded companion began his delirious mutterings again, I knew that, although a fellow-countryman might be spared, my career was at an end. I crept down cautiously, and told Ching all I had seen; whereupon he nodded his head sagely, and placed his lips to my ear. "Plenty big stone," he whispered. "Plenty sand; velly quiet; 'top up hole."
'Bedad, and it's him has the foine nose for turkey! said Blaney, a good-natured, jovial Irishman. 'Yes, or for pay-day, more like, said Keefe, a black-browed, villainous fellow-countryman of Blaney's, and, strange to say, his great friend. Big Sandy M'Naughton, a Canadian Highlander from Glengarry, rose up in wrath.
The man fed on without noticing them, except now and then to utter a growl that silenced the whispering and giggling for a moment. The Marches, from no positive evidence of any sense, decided that they were Americans. "I don't know that I feel responsible for them as their fellow-countryman; I should, once," he said. "It isn't that.
The Carnival had received its deathblow in my imagination; and it has been ever since but a thin and dusky ghost of pleasure that has flitted at intervals in and out of my consciousness.

"No, colonel, they have put me on half-pay, because I was at Waterloo, probably, and because I am Napoleon's fellow-countryman.
I don't remember precisely what answer I made; but a conversation soon sprang up between us. I learnt that he was a fellow-countryman, that he had not long returned from America, where he had spent many years, and was shortly going back there. He called himself Baron ... the name I could not make out distinctly.
