As I entered his room treading on the heels of my friend who was good enough to take me, I stopped astounded. Thick heavy fumes of incasse filled the air, and the room was fitted up with the most wonderful assortment of tapestries, Eastern rogs, and tables covered! with wonderful curiosition, whilst lying on a couch lay Lafayette. Pale beyond 71 measure, he lay without embarrassmart and without uttering a word of welcome. Bat his eyes never loft me. Two dark daggers they were, which seemed to penetrate into the very untrow. It was indeed a strange meeting. For ten minutes we sat there, my friend obviously at home, myself most uncomfortable, and those eyes of Lafayette's never left me.
