Excerpt from The Consul
And it had been an excellent rec ord. His official reports, in a quaint, stately hand, were models of Eng lish; full of information, intelligent, valuable, well observed. And those few of his countrymen, who stumbled upon him in the out-of-the-world places to which of late he had been banished, wrote of him to the de partment in terms of admiration and awe. Never had he or his friends petitioned for promotion, until it was at last apparent that, save for his record and the memory of his deadpatron, he had no friends. But, still, in the department, the tradi tion held, and, though he was not advanced, he was not dismissed.
