When he was carrying the scepter of his ruler,
he seemed to bend his body,
as if he were not able to bear its weight.
He did not hold it higher than the position of the hands in making a bow,
nor lower than their position in giving anything to another.
His countenance seemed to change, and look apprehensive,
and he dragged his feet along
as if they were held by something to the ground.
In presenting the presents with which he was charged,
he wore a placid appearance.
覿At his private audience,
he looked highly pleased.
