"The price will be all right," replied the provocating agent, with a business-like air. "Then we entrust the affair to you, Ivan," said His Excellency.

I found disembarkation at Lisbon to be a matter of considerable vexation; the custom-house officers were exceedingly uncivil, and examined every article of my little baggage with most provocating minuteness.
