As he descended from the coach , a pleasant-looking man , in a sort of official costume , accosted him , asking him if he was going to Leghorn in the steamer that afternoon . The man spoke in English , though with a foreign accent . `` No , '' said Rollo ; `` I am going to Marseilles to-morrow morning . ''
