AN old deaf beggar, whom Collins the painter was once engaged in
sketching at Hendon, exhibited great self-possession. Finding, from
certain indications, that the body and garments of this English Edie
Ochiltree afforded a sort of pasture-ground to a herd of many animals
of minute size, he hinted his fears to the old man that he might leave
some of his small body-guard, behind him. No fear, sir; no fear,
replied this deaf and venerable vagrant, contemplating the artist with
serious serenity; I don't think they are any of them likely to leave
me for you.
