| Lord Albemarle, an elderly paralytic gentleman, was now the only advocate of Phileas Fogg left. Certain machinery in the body of the nun on the leads over the door was cleaned up and put in motion, so that the figure shook its head paralytically all day long, to the great admiration of a drunken, but very Protestant, barber over the way, who looked upon the said paralytic motion as typical of the degrading effect wrought upon the human mind by the ceremonies of the Romish Church and discoursed upon that theme with great eloquence and morality. He glanced, as he spoke, at his shabby clothes and paralytic limb, and slightly shook his head. |
