When we declined joining them, they jeered and laughed at us, and called us milksops, so that we soon saw that they would in all probability betray us if we attempted to induce them to join us. Two men, who were sober, declined, saying that they would rather go to a French prison than trust themselves in a small open boat in mid-winter in the Channel.
He now struck me as a clever fellow, full of dash. Nor did Volodsky represent the only metamorphosis of this kind that I came across.
