Dechartre, placed at the most convenient point of view, talked of his St. Mark with abundant friendship. "It is to him I make my first visit when I come to Florence. I failed to do this only once. He will forgive me; he is an excellent man.
Scott, when pointing to the hospital built by Heriot, said, "That was built by one Heriot, you know, the jeweller, in Charles the Second's time." There was an arch simplicity in his look, at which we could hardly forbear laughing. June 23.
"Now you fellows keep tight hold of that," he directed, pointing to the cord that lay outstretched on the beach. "Pay it out as I go, and when I give the word pull with all your might."
