Oh, my auditors, had you seen him how he stretched out
his limbs, scratched his scabbed elbows at this speech,
how he set his cap over his eyebrows like a politician, and
then folded his arms one in another, and nodded with the
head, as who would say, Let the French beware, for they
shall find me a devil. If (I say) you had seen but half the
actions that he used, of shrugging up his shoulders, smiling
scornfully, playing with his fingers on his buttons, and biting
the lip, you would have laughed your face and your knees
together.
