I've had my bellyful o' Frenchies, Mr. Carvell save it be to fight 'em. An' I tell 'ee 'twould give me the greatest joy in life t' leave loose 'Scolding Sairy' at that there Landais. Th' gal ain't had a match on her this here cruise, an' t' my mind she couldn't be christened better, sir." I left him patting the gun with a tender affection.
'I will be called King Pippin, answered the elder. They christened each other and then went onwards. When they had walked for some time they came to a crossway, and there they agreed to part, and each take his own road.

'Twasn't to indulge him he done it, but to bless him an' to comfort our hearts.

She would not turn back, until she brought it to pass that Etzel's child was christened after the Christian rite. Men named it Ortlieb; at this great joy arose over all of Etzel's lands.
