A short conversation ensued, which proved the stranger to be English.

They returned to Valencia together.
His garb, aspect, and deportment, were wholly Spanish.

A residence of three years in the country, indefatigable attention to the language, and a studious conformity with the customs of the people, had made him indistinguishable from a native, when he chose to assume that character.
Pleyel found him to be connected, on the footing of friendship and respect, with many eminent merchants in that city.

He had embraced the catholic religion, and adopted a Spanish name instead of his own, which was CARWIN, and devoted himself to the literature and religion of his new country.

He pursued no profession, but subsisted on remittances from England.
While Pleyel remained in Valencia, Carwin betrayed no aversion to intercourse, and the former found no small attractions in the society of this new acquaintance.
