He has a very noble presence. Pliny is tall, with much dignity of carriage." "Pompous, eh? 'I am Sir Oracle'?" "Nothing of the kind.
As the battleships of the League steamed out to engage the opponents, who were thirsting to avenge the destruction that had been wrought upon the land, a small flotilla of twenty-five insignificant-looking little craft, with neither masts nor funnels, and looking more like half-submerged elongated turtles than anything else, followed in tow close under their quarters.
