He, of course excited the attention of all who saw him, but he appeared not to consider himself as an object of notice, and continued walking with as much sang froid as if he had been in the

High-street. Sometimes he lounged on a seat and played with the strings of his gown. He was not molested in the slightest degree; no one spoke to him, and he at length walked coolly out of the garden and returned to his hotel.
