figure in the blue uniform, with the red-figured jersey, the furrowed
face of typical English character, and the finely mobile orator's mouth,
with the searching eyes under the noble forehead, and the prominent nose
that gave him almost the aspect of an eagle."

"With that constant will power which sprang from deep and upright
