A black satin waistcoat, overlaid with gold chains, a black velvet Spanish cloak and hat, red beard and whiskers, and a face resembling the Saracen's on Snow-Hill, completed his ensemble." He was probably some travelling mountebank apeing the Spanish grandee. Aix-la-Chapelle exhibited a decided improvement on the City of the Congress five-and-twenty years ago.
The Comedian and his two coadjutors were followed to the Saracen's Head inn by a large crowd, but at respectful distance.
"I have an appointment at the Saracen's," he said mildly, meaning the Saracen's Head the central rendezvous of the town, where Conservative and Liberal met on neutral ground. He turned to the left, toward the High Street and the great cleared space out of which the cellarage of the new Town Hall had already been scooped.

The Saracen's Head, which had welcomed Paoli before now, received the travellers. There was now no more sullen fuel or peat.
She would have "got up" the play, would be prepared with various readings, with philological and archaeological illustrations. Dymchurch smiled again as he thought of it, and already was half decided to go. A copy of the Hollingford Express, posted, no doubt, by Lashmar, informed him that the private meeting of Liberals at the Saracen's Head had resulted in acceptance of his friend's candidature.
