TO SIRINUGGUR. 27 



M. Olive became quite eloquent, and getting on some 

 pet topics connected with France and her glories, Louis 

 Nap. and his genius and policy, he launched out and 

 discussed these matters with great intelligence. He is a 

 very agreeable companion, having all the politeness of 

 manner of the well-educated Frenchman, and being a 

 man of sense and observation I found all he enlarged 

 upon, and his views and opinions, interesting and 

 instructive.
