Sir Walter Elliot:
Who is this - Admiral Croft?
Mr. Shepherd:
I met with him at the quarter sessions in Taunton. He's a native of Somersetshire who acquired a fortune in the war and wishes to return here.
Sir Walter Elliot:
Yes, but who is he?
Anne Elliot:
He is rear admiral of the white. He was in the Trafalgar action and has been in the East Indies since. He has been stationed there, I believe, several years.
Sir Walter Elliot:
Then, I take it, his face has both the color and texture of this macaroon.
