He
needs
no
equipage
to
set
off
his
rank
,
"
remarked
a
third
.
"
If
he
came
among
us
in
rags
,
nobility
would
shine
through
a
hole
in
his
elbow
.
I
never
saw
such
dignity
of
aspect
.
He
has
the
old
Norman
blood
in
his
veins
,
I
warrant
him
.
"
"
I
rather
take
him
to
be
a
Dutchman
,
or
one
of
your
high
Germans
,
"
said
another
citizen
.
"
The
men
of
those
countries
have
always
the
pipe
at
their
mouths
.
"
"
And
so
has
a
Turk
,
"
answered
his
companion
.
"
But
,
in
my
judgment
,
this
stranger
hath
been
bred
at
the
French
court
,
and
hath
there
learned
politeness
and
grace
of
manner
,
which
none
understand
so
well
as
the
nobility
of
France
.
That
gait
,
now
!
A
vulgar
spectator
might
deem
it
stiff
—
he
might
call
it
a
hitch
and
jerk
—
but
,
to
my
eye
,
it
hath
an
unspeakable
majesty
,
and
must
have
been
acquired
by
constant
observation
of
the
deportment
of
the
Grand
Monarque
.
The
stranger
’
s
character
and
office
are
evident
enough
.
He
is
a
French
ambassador
,
come
to
treat
with
our
rulers
about
the
cession
of
Canada
.
"
"
More
probably
a
Spaniard
,
"
said
another
,
"
and
hence
his
yellow
complexion
;
or
,
most
likely
,
he
is
from
the
Havana
,
or
from
some
port
on
the
Spanish
main
,
and
comes
to
make
investigation
about
the
piracies
which
our
government
is
thought
to
connive
at
.
Those
settlers
in
Peru
and
Mexico
have
skins
as
yellow
as
the
gold
which
they
dig
out
of
their
mines
.
"
"
Yellow
or
not
,
"
cried
a
lady
,
"
he
is
a
beautiful
man
!
—
so
tall
,
so
slender
!
such
a
fine
,
noble
face
,
with
so
well
-
shaped
a
nose
,
and
all
that
delicacy
of
expression
about
the
mouth
!
And
,
bless
me
,
how
bright
his
star
is
!
It
positively
shoots
out
flames
!
"
"
So
do
your
eyes
,
fair
lady
,
"
said
the
stranger
,
with
a
bow
and
a
flourish
of
his
pipe
;
for
he
was
just
passing
at
the
instant
.
"
Upon
my
honor
,
they
have
quite
dazzled
me
.
"
"
Was
ever
so
original
and
exquisite
a
compliment
?
"
murmured
the
lady
,
in
an
ecstasy
of
delight
.
Amid
the
general
admiration
excited
by
the
stranger
’
s
appearance
,
there
were
only
two
dissenting
voices
.
One
was
that
of
an
impertinent
cur
,
which
,
after
snuffing
at
the
heels
of
the
glistening
figure
,
put
its
tail
between
its
legs
and
skulked
into
its
master
’
s
back
yard
,
vociferating
an
execrable
howl
.
The
other
dissentient
was
a
young
child
,
who
squalled
at
the
fullest
stretch
of
his
lungs
,
and
babbled
some
unintelligible
nonsense
about
a
pumpkin
.
