　　It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who had got his transportation at that unusual hour by promising an extra fare. While the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pockets for money, the boatman lifted a lamp, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very close look at the stranger's figure. He was a young man of about eighteen years, obviously brought up in the country, and now as it seemed, of his first visit to town. He was wearing a rough gray coat, which was still in good shape after many winters. The trousers under his coat were well made of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of long legs; his blue stockings must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had perhaps protected the grayer head of the young man's father. In his left hand was a walking stick, and his belongings were completed by a leather bag which hung on his strong shoulders. Brown, curly hair, a well-shaped nose, bright, cheerful eyes were nature's gifts. The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he looked around his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little town in New England.
