"Yes; what of it?"

"What of it? Well, my father, Lord Tanlay, rendered M. Barras
some services; that is why M. Barras permits me to roam about

"You like General Bonaparte very much?"

"I admire him; he is a great, a very great, man."

"By Heavens! Sir John, I am sorry he is not here to hear an
Englishman say that of him."

"Oh! if he were here I should not say it."

"Why not?"

"I should not want him to think I was trying to please him. I
say so because it is my opinion."
