There seemed to be all sorts and conditions of men in the crowd. Many of them were well-dressed and intelli- gent in appearance, and all appeared to be good-natured and amiable* The last out was evidently a respectable merchant or shopkeeper, wearing his best hat and new silk gown ; but when he got to the gate it was closed and barred, so the chief of police, instead of opening it, made him get down into the dust and crawl under it, much to his disgust, but to the great delight of the crowd out...side. It was now about six o'clock, and quiet and order reigned at last in our court-yard. The chief of police and his men fraternized at once with our attendants, and assured us we should have no more unbidden visitors. Later in the evening, after we had received cards and a friendly message from the local prefect or magistrate, and all the members of our guard had duly inspected us and our belongings while at dinner, two sub-officials were brought in, bearing with them the paper-seals, half as big as an ordinary newspaper, which thoy said they were going to paste on our outer gates, as a sure protection from all further annoyance.
