"'Dime; no ves aquel caballero que hacia nosotros viene sobre un caballo rucio rodadoque trae puesto en la cabeza un yelmo de oro?' 'Lo que veo y columbro,' respondioSancho, 'no es sino un hombre sobre un as no pardo como el mio, que trae sobre lacabeza una cosa que relumbra.' 'Pues ese es el yelmo de Mambrino,' dijo DonQuijote."-CERVANTES."'Seest thou not yon cavalier who cometh toward us on a dapple-gray steed, andweareth a golden helmet?' 'What I see,' answered Sancho, 'is nothing but a man on agray ass like my own, who carries something shiny on his head.' 'Just so,' answeredDon Quixote: 'and that resplendent object is the helmet of Mambrino.'""Sir Humphry Davy?" said Mr. Brooke, over the soup, in his easy smiling way, taking up SirJames Chettam's remark that he was studying Davy's Agricultural Chemistry. "Well, now, SirHumphry Davy; I dined with him years ago at Cartwright's, and Wordsworth was there too-the poet Wordsworth, you know.

Now there was something singular. I was at Cambridge whenWordsworth was there, and I never met him-and I dined with him twenty years afterwards atCartwright's.

There's an oddity in things, now. But Davy was there: he was a poet too. Or, as Imay say, Wordsworth was poet one, and Davy was poet two.

That was true in every sense, youknow."Dorothea felt a little more uneasy than usual.

In the beginning of dinner, the party beingsmall and the room still, these motes from the mass of a magistrate's mind fell too noticeably.She wondered how a man like Mr. Casaubon would support such triviality. His manners, shethought, were very dignified; the set of his iron-gray hair and his deep eye-sockets made himresemble the portrait of Locke.

He had the spare form and the pale complexion which became astudent; as different as possible from the blooming Englishman of the red-whiskered typerepresented by Sir James Chettam."I am reading the Agricultural Chemistry," said this excellent baronet, "because I am going totake one of the farms into my own hands, and see if something cannot be done in setting a goodpattern of farming among my tenants.

Do you approve of that, Miss Brooke?"
