Description:Excerpt from Our Little Gipsy, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel He or she had silently stolen away, had descended to the gentlemen's or to the ladies' cabin below, ashamed of exhibiting en plein jour, en plein midi, a state of feeling, a state of health, sensations so unbecoming. At length but one solitary passenger of the better class was left on deck, and he the man we have already indicated as the owner of the English carriage. He sat gazing with perfect sang-froid on the giant waves, or paced to and fro in apathetic sadness. He was a man perhaps nearly fifty, rather gaunt or attenuated, very pale, or perhaps we should say very sallow. His eyes, if ever they had had any, had lost their spirit and their lustre; yet were they fine eyes, still long-shaped, deep-coloured;his brows were dark, his face, if not handsome, was interesting. You saw indications in it of feeling, of refinement, of suffering. He evidently was not in robust health, or fancied himself an invalid. He looked as supremely indifferent to every trifling occurrence passing around him as it was possible for man to look, and you saw that this was not an affected indifference; he had an air of abstraction, and his manner was most unobtrusive. His valet and his courier gave themselves much greater airs than he. By their consequential manner they endeavoured to make up for the lack of pretension in Sir Charles. Until the valet had begun to feel a little poorly, his every movement had seemed to say, "Do you comprehend what a great man is my master?" Poor Sir Charles!
