Excerpt from The Adventurers: A Tale of Treasure Trove Montgomery stood, his red face somewhat vacant and grinning broadly, while his sallow-faced victim, who had got upon his feet, gesticulated and stuttered under his nose with a Show of passion that was not quite English. And at this moment, when it seemed as if some retaliation was to be expected and a fracas precipitated, an impulse took me, and I myself inter vened. I think, sir, said I, addressing Montgomery, you will admit that you have used this worthy gentleman very ill, and if I were you, sir, with your youth and spirit at my back, I would ask his pardon at once. On that he stared at me for some seconds, and then, plumping the empty glass on the table, he broke into a Sheepish laugh. All right, he said, very sorry. I beg his pardon, and muttering some indistinct apologies, he resumed his seat, Sitting somewhat silent for a good time after wards.
