“Why are you glad to see me?” said I, slackening my pace; “I am a stranger to you; at any rate, you are to me.”
“Always glad to see English gentleman,” said the figure; “always glad to see him.”
“How do you know that I am an English gentleman?” said I.
“Oh, I know Englishman at first sight; no one like him in the whole world.”
“Have you seen many English gentleman?” said I.
“Oh yes, have seen plenty when I have been up in London.”
“Have you been much in London?”
“Oh yes; when I was a drover was up in London every month.”
“And were you much in the society of English gentlemen when you were there?”
“Oh yes; a great deal.”
