About ten o'clock a few men dropped in: a sculptor, artists, and Meyerbeer, an American newspaper correspondent who, however, was not known as such to Gaston. This evening Ian determined to make Gaston talk. To deepen a man's love for a thing, get him to talk of it to the eager listener he passes from the narrator to the advocate unconsciously.
The husband is challenged to a single combat, and he that is victorious carries off the wife." "But Duke Menelaus was the host of the young knight," said the narrator. "Listen to me, little Master," cried Sintram; "he might have asked the sorceress for some other beautiful woman, and then have mounted his horse, or weighed anchor, and departed."
"I've heard about that place, but never seen it," said Cap'n Joab. "And you don't want to," declared the narrator of the incident. "It ain't a place into which no sailorman wants to venture. The Mailfast's comp'ny so 'tis said was driven far into the pulpy, grassy sea. The miles of weed wrapped 'em around like a blanket.
A mere panegyrist, or a dishonest narrator, would not have represented his cause, or have made a great magistrate represent it, in this manner, i.e. in terms not a little disparaging, and bespeaking, on his part, much unconcern and indifference about the matter.
The most faithful narrator will not deem it necessary or proper to enter into certain particulars, which the vigilant eye of sympathizing benevolence would at once discover, and the heart of pity must deeply feel.

Meanwhile, in their crazy vessel, the banished ministers drifted slowly on their way.
The desertion of the best narrator broke up the party, and the unassuming Denys approached the meditative mijauree, and invited her in the most flattering terms to gamble with him. She started from her reverie, looked him down into the earth's centre with chilling dignity, and consented, for she remembered all in a moment what a show of hands gambling admitted.
The narrator here held silence, and, hanging down his hands, gazed out into the brilliant night; profound silence reigned in the room, only the large "grandfather's clock" ticked the past and future.
The difficulty was solved by supposing that the narrator had made a mistake of one day in the date of the occurrence; so that our friend did not hesitate to introduce the story at every tavern and country-store along the road, expending a whole bunch of Spanish wrappers among at least twenty horrified audiences.
He was glad to renew his intercourse with his old University; and found himself greatly looked up to by the students, who were never wearied with listening to his accounts of the Morea, and of the privations he had there encountered. We need hardly inform our readers, that Carl Obers was one of the pedestrian students at Wallensee, and was indeed the identical narrator of the Vienna story.
