Judge Hobart expects Colonels Burr and Troup will make his suite to the October court, where he hopes to usher them, with all the eclat due to their merit. He counts the weeks, which he has now reduced to five. While the warmth of friendship animates his countenance, his heart swells with pride at the honour of patronising two such characters.
"Le brillant de votre esprit donne un si grand eclat a votre teint et a vos yeux, que quoiqu'il semble que l'esprit ne doit toucher que les oreilles, il est pourtaut certain que la votre eblouit les yeux."* Lettres de Madame de Sevigne.

Thus it runs: From distant climes, o'er widespread seas, we come, Though not with much eclat or beat of drum; True patriots we, for be it understood, We left our country for our country's good.

The curtain fell.
The Khedive sent a special train to meet him on his return from Midian, and the Burtons went at once to Cairo, where they were received with great eclat. From Cairo the Burtons went back to Trieste, or rather to Opcina, for a brief rest, and then proceeded to London. From London they went to Dublin, where they joined the annual meeting of the British Association.

The Major felt aggrieved; he had been very anxious to carry his first commission through triumphantly and with éclat. For the second time Harry Tristram was in his path. Harry rose. "That's all we can do to-day," he said. "We shall wait to hear from Mr Iver." "I really don't feel justified in putting such a proposition before him." "Oh, that's for you to consider," shrugged Harry.
But I had long foreseen that the first deposition should be effected with some éclat of voluntary glory.
