And the mercenary soldiers, waiting but the word to deluge the street with blood, showed the only means by which obedience could be secured. "O Lord of hosts," cried a voice among the crowd, "provide a champion for thy people!" This ejaculation was loudly uttered, and served as a herald's cry to introduce a remarkable personage.
And to back up his opinion he takes an extract out of the Herald's College books which runs thus: 'Romans, fifteenth and thirteenth: Now, the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. Some say the three officers were of kin, and I am of that opinion too.
Whilst I was about to ask Hans from whom he had collected all this information, suddenly I heard sounds, and looking up, saw three tall men clad in full herald's dress rushing towards us at great speed. "Here come some chips from the Axe," said Hans, and promptly bolted into the waggon.
The trumpet's brazen throat should pour heavenly music over the earth, and the herald's voice go forth with the sweetness of an angel's accents, as if to summon each upright man to his reward. But how is this? Does none answer to the call? Not one: for the just, the pure, the true, and an who might most worthily obey it, shrink sadly back, as most conscious of error and imperfection.
He then secretly composed some elegiac verses, and getting them by heart, that it might seem extempore, ran out into the place with a cap upon his head, and, the people gathering about him, got upon the herald's stand, and sang that elegy which begins thus: I am a herald come from Salamis the fair, My news from thence my verses shall declare.

They are clear in their office, nor could they be thus formidable without their own merits. But do not measure the importance of this class by their pretension, or imagine that a fop can be the dispenser of honor and shame. They pass also at their just rate; for how can they otherwise, in circles which exist as a sort of herald's office for the sifting of character?
This story was in part corroborated by the following paragraph in the Herald's Saratoga correspondence: "We had a spicy scene, a little out of the regular performance, last evening; no less than the caning of a New York sprig of fashion, who made himself rather more agreeable to a certain married lady who dashes about here in a queenly way than was agreeable to her husband.
"The King is much obliged to you, sir," said Charles, "for the honour you do his faithful subjects." "O, sir, I am scrupulous on that point very scrupulous. When there is a roundhead in question, I consult the Herald's books, to see that he is entitled to bear arms, as is Master Markham Everard, without which, I promise you, I had borne none of his cartel.
Lord de Courval singular coincidence! descent from the old line. Herald's College soon settle all that. Lord de Courval! nothing can sound better. There must be a village or hamlet still called Courval about the property." "I am afraid not. There is Coddle End!" "Coddle End! Coddle End! the very thing, sir the very thing clear corruption from Courval! Lord de Courval of Courval! Superb! Ha! ha!"
