But he encountered, in the mariner of the India-shawl, a very different man from the flattering and obsequious grocer who had just quitted him. Eye met eye; his gaze of authority receiving a look as steady, if not as curious, as his own. It was evident, by the composure of the fine manly frame he saw, that its owner rested his claims on the aristocracy of nature.

They were then alone with the fantastic page, and it became necessary to trust to his intelligence for directions how to proceed. "Who art thou, child? and who has sent thee hither?" demanded Ludlow.
An execution for a debt of four thousand pounds was at length put in by a house largely engaged in the silk, lace, India-shawl, and fancy-jewelry business. This sum of four thousand pounds was only a nominal claim, but it opened the flood-gates for all of Lady Blessington's creditors.
