He saidi ' Ask Hamilton Brown to se^ what they want. I cWt express myself like a gentleman in French. I never could learn it^ — or anything else according to rule/ He even read translations of French books ^ in preference to the originals. His ignorance of the language was the reason that he avoided Frenchmen and was never in France. In our voyage from Italy, Byron persuaded me to let him have my black servani^ as, in the East^ it is a mark of difirnity to have a negro in your establii^h- ment.... He likewise coveted a green embroidered military jacket of mine ; which, as it was too small for me^ I gave him ; so I added considerably to his dignity. I engaged one of the refugee Zuliotes (or Zodiacs, as old Scott, our captain, called them) to go with me. He was a vain^ lazy, swaggering braggart, — sullen and stupid as arc most of his tribe. Byron gave us letters addressed to the Greek government, if we could find any such constituted authorities, — expressing his readiness to serve them when they had satisfied him how he could do so^ &c,, &c., &c.
