Mr Norrell stopt walking. The next card was Le Mal, which is the only picture card to remainnumberless, as if the character it depicts is in some sense outside the story. He was a quiet, kindly,respectable sort of man - the sort of man easily deceived by a rogue like Clegg. It is precisely noon.
It was a measure of howfar Mr Norrell was distracted by the present situation that he made not theslightest objection. Others included a young Swiss gentleman and anothercommercial traveller, this time from London. They seem a very oddset of people, very much addicted to travelling, the females as much as thegentleman. Are you sure, sir? It is two old ladies that live upon that side.
