If Pop's legs are not so firm and muscular as they used to be in those days when he took such leaps into White's buckskins, in revenge his waist is much larger.

He wears a very good coat, however, and a waistband, which he lets out after dinner.

Before ladies he blushes, and is as silent as a schoolboy.

He calls them "modest women." His society is chiefly among young lads belonging to his former profession.

He knows the best wine to be had at each tavern or cafe, and the waiters treat him with much respectful familiarity.
