Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Redgauntlet a Tale of the Eighteenth Century, Vol. 3 of 3
I see you look at me hard, said he to Fair ford. Had you been an officer of the d - d customs, my terriers' backs would have been up. He opened his breast, and shewed Alan a pair of pistols disposed between his waistcoat and jacket, placing his finger, at the same time, upon the cock of one of them. But come, you are an honest fellow, though you're a close one. I dare say you think me a queer custo mer; but I can tell you, they that see the ship leave harbour, know little of the seas she is to sail through. My father, honest old gentleman, ne ver would have thought to see me master of the Jumping Jenny.
Fairford said, it seemed very clear indeed that Mr Ewart's education was far superior to the line he at present occupied.
