Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fortunes of Nigel, Vol. 2 of 3 Monsieur Le Chevalier, (as he qualified him self, ) Saint Priest de Beaujeu, was a sharp, thin Gascon, about sixty years old, banished from his own country, as he said, on account of an affair of honour, in which he had the misfortune to kill his antagonist, though thebest swordsman in the south of France. His pretensions to quality were sup ported by a feathered hat, a long rapier, and a suit of embroidered taffeta, not much the worse for Wear, in the extreme fashion of the Parisian court, and fluttering like a May-pole with many knots of ribband, of which it was computed he bore at least five hundred yards about his person. But, not withstanding this profusion of decoration, there were many who thought Monsieur le Chevalier so admirably calculated for his present situation, that nature could never have meant to place him an inch above it. It was, however, part of the amusement of the place, for Lord Dalgarno and other young men of quality to treat Monsieur de Beauj'eu with a great deal of mock ceremony.
