A good-featured countrywoman and some young children were seated at the table, where a large dish of potatoes and some fresh fish were smoking, a huge jug of milk occupying the middle of the board.
Stooping to pick them up, she became aware that she was not alone. A small, very dirty, but good-featured boy stood before her, his hands behind his back, and an inquiring look in his eyes. "Run away, little boy," said she. "Don't you know it isn't polite to enter rooms without knocking?"
She was a fine, tall, good-featured lady, with two spears in her hand; the principal men who had come around made way for her, and called on me to salute: I did so; but she, being forty yards off, I involuntarily beckoned her to come nearer: this upset the gravity of all her attendants; all burst into a laugh, and ran off.
But the good-featured and yet totally unimpressive countenance of the man beside me offered but little basis for even the wildest imagination to work upon, and, glancing almost immediately away, I asked: "Are the ladies very much overcome?" He took at least a half-dozen steps before replying. "It would be unnatural if they were not."
I asked him if Babbage was in the room, and he said, 'Not yet, so I hoped he would come. "He told me that a fine-looking, white-headed, good-featured old man was Roget, of the 'Thesaurus; and another old man in the corner was Dr. Arnott, of the 'Elements of Physics. I had supposed he was dead long ago. Afterwards I was introduced to him.
