His name is Mr.Louis Leverett (such a beautiful name, I think), and he is about thirty years old.

He is rather small, and he looks pretty sick; he suffers from some affection of the liver.

But his conversation is remarkably interesting, and I delight to listen to him--he has such beautiful ideas.

I feel as if it were hardly right, not being in French; but, fortunately, he uses a great many French expressions.

It's in a different style from the conversation of Mr.Verdier--not so complimentary, but more intellectual.
