Catch me there if you can, cried Panurge; may the devil's head-cook conjure my bumgut into a pair of bellows if ever you find me among them! Hermits, sham saints, living forms of mortification, holy mountebanks, avaunt! in the name of your father Satan, get out of my sight! When the devil's a hog, you shall eat bacon. I shall not forget yet awhile our fat Concilipetes of Chesil.

"Just you wait till I get well," whispered back Nat, doubling his own fist and holding it against Samson's nose in return. "Yes, and just you wait till I get you well," whispered Samson.
