Excerpt from The Magician, Vol. 1 of 2
After the rincipal personage had passed by, the interest of the Scottish stranger seemed to increase rather than dimin' ish; and he gazed at the next in order with an earnest and critical ey'. This was a young lad of fourteen, armed, dress cd, and mounted in all respects like Charles himself. It was the dauphin, the husband of the Princess of Scotland; of that beautiful, amiable, sensitive little girl of eleven years, whom the knight had assisted in transplanting from her native home at so early an age., The spectator sighed, and shook his head, as he had often done before, on perusing the features of the boy; and the gloom that settled on his brow told how deeply he regretted that the royal Scott had not matched his daughter in her own country.
The knight followed the young dauphin with his eye, till the pages of both king and prince, coming closely after, in tercepted his view. The Bastard of Orleans then appeared, armed from head to heel, and both himself and horse blazing with jewels. This splendid warrior led on the battle of the king, consisting of a thousand lances, all armed to the teeth, both man and horse. The long array was closed by an Esquire of the Stable, bearing a vermilion lance, spangled with gold stars, at the head of which there hung a standard of red silk, with ornaments like those of the staff surrounding a portrait of St. Michel. After him there rolled an immense multitude of lords, knights, and bourgeois, with the peasant ry, as it seemed, of the whole province; all dressed to the extent of their means, and in the fashion of their degree.
