'Yes; if I am not very much mistaken.'
'Nay but tell me, what do you know?'
'First answer me concerning who and what he is?'
'A gentleman of large fortune, the last of his family, and a great traveller.'
'Has he met with any accident lately?'
'Yes. But why do you ask?'
'And why do you seem so much awakened by the question?'
'Because he is excessively desirous of discovering some gentleman, who found him after he had been robbed, and left, supposed to be dead; that he may if possible reward his preserver. Now there are some circumstances, as related by the people of an inn to which he was taken, that have suggested a thought to me which, should it prove true, would give me inexpressible pleasure.'
'What are they?'
'That the good Samaritan, who performed this act of humanity, was a young gentleman with a servant out of livery; that he and his man rode two blood horses, both bright bays; that the servant's name was Samuel; and that the master was in person very like you. All which correspond; and I really believe, by your smiling, that it actually was you.'
