"He talks too much," continued Hauteville; "his whole plea was ranting. It's a crime passionel, if ever there was one, and I shall commit him for trial." Coquenil was not listening; he had drawn two squares of shiny paper from his pocket, and was studying them with a magnifying glass. The judge looked at him in surprise. "Do you hear what I say?" he repeated. "I shall commit him for trial."
"Are you a great admirer of the sea?" asked the lady. "I hardly know myself yet. I must make its nearer acquaintance first," answered Wilhelin. "I confess that it leaves me quite unmoved. No, not that exactly, for I am rather vexed at it for giving so many idiots an excuse for ranting and absurd sentimentality. Now just look at all these people on the beach.
Yet he efforted his spirits with the remembrance and relation of what formerly he had been, and what he had done." Of the "ranting epitaph," quoted above, Fuller says: "The orthography, poetry, history and divinity in this epitaph are much alike." Without taking Captain John Smith at his own estimate of himself, he was a peculiar character even for the times in which he lived.
I pray my children may live to see or engage in no great revolutions, such as that, for instance, raging in the country of our miserable French neighbours.
