Yet as Roland's passport and the children's photographs lay before him on his office desk the same desk at which Roland was sitting but a few months ago, a man in the full vigor of life, with an apparently prosperous and happy future lying before him Mr. Clifford for a moment or two yielded to the vain wish that Roland had thrown himself on his mercy.
The people of the Northern States had an exaggerated idea of Canadian sympathy with the South, and the consequences of this misapprehension were first, the threatened abolition of the transit system; second, the discontinuance of reciprocity; third, a passport system, which was almost equivalent to a prohibition of intercourse.
Having thus taken our leave, we proceeded to Huy, without any other passport than God's good providence. This town, as I observed before, belongs to the Bishop of Liege, but was now in a state of tumult and confusion, on account of the general revolt of the Low Countries, the townsmen taking part with the Netherlanders, notwithstanding the bishopric was a neutral State.
Each of them had his passport and his luggage with him; they even brought presents for me, and for you, and for all the people in the town. Who were they? What did they want? And what did they bring with them? "Good-morning!" they cried to the sentry at the town-gate. "Good-morning," replied the sentry, for the clock had struck twelve.

We were marched in file past, first the tribunal of the searchers, and next the tribunal of the passport officials; and then an Austrian gendarme opening to each, as he passed this ordeal, the door of the station-house, I stepped out, to have my first sight, as I hoped, of the Queen of the Adriatic.
About fifty yards from the gate the drive turns sharply to the left; and, just at the turn, Miss Verity suddenly beheld a tall figure clad in a seaman's oilskins and sou'wester, coming towards her from the direction of the house. Youth and good looks more especially perhaps masculine ones whatever rank of life might exhibit them, acted as a sure passport to Miss Verity's gentle heart.
She was obliged to substitute a young Italian, who was compromised, for her dead son; and as soon as Louis could rise from his bed, they set out, meeting With many adventures until they got beyond the boundaries of Italy. Under cover of their English passport they crossed France, and visited the Château of Fontainebleau, where the mother pointed out to her son the scenes of his childhood.
