Yourself and Audley I could pass, coz, for you are mature men; but who are Wake, and Percy, and Beauchamp? By my soul! I was prodding for my food into a camp-kettle when they were howling for their pap. Is a man of my weight and substance to be thrown aside for the first three half-grown lads who have learned the trick of the tilt-yard?
"They say Mrs d'Urberville says that she wants you to look after a little fowl-farm which is her hobby. But this is only her artful way of getting 'ee there without raising your hopes. She's going to own 'ee as kin that's the meaning o't." "But I didn't see her." "You zid somebody, I suppose?" "I saw her son." "And did he own 'ee?" "Well he called me Coz." "An' I knew it!
"That would be against the law, coz; they would indict me sure!" "You you you lie there and answer me in that way! Oh that I were a man!" "Compose, yourself, sweet coz, and tell me what all this is about! Yaw-ooo! really I was asleep when you first spoke to me!" "Asleep!
"Sally?" repeated the bewildered Ted. Then he recovered himself. "Oh, yes, Cousin Sally. She's just over there," pointing to Jane's "Bosky Dell" in a far corner. "Your cousin?" repeated the shrewd Judith. "Yes, little coz, I allus calls her," he lisped, to cover any possible attempt at piercing his disguise. "But she said she was not related to Bobbie?" persisted the irrepressible Judith.
Whereupon he sobbed out: "Nay, royal and gracious Coz, thou art in error. Never have I so shamelessly forgotten to play my part as Fool, as at this moment. Alack, alack! what a thing is life!
Percy, get up this moment and challenge Le Noir! I cannot breathe freely until it is done!" exclaimed Capitola, impetuously. "Cousin Cap, duelling is obsolete; scenes are passè; law settles everything; and here there is scarcely ground for action for libel. But be comforted, coz, for if this comes to Uncle Hurricane's ears, he'll make mince-meat of him in no time.
Blessed Christ, that was thy mission. I will make it mine!" The next morning Louis drew her aside. "So, little coz, you did not coincide with the lady mother's eulogium of our respected collateral last night?" "Why, I said nothing!" cried Evadne in astonishment. Louis laughed. "Have you never heard of eyes that speak and faces that tell tales?" he said.
At the office we and Sir W. Rider to advise what sort of provisions to get ready for these ships going to the Indies. Then the Comptroller and I by water to Mr. Coventry, and there discoursed upon the same thing. So to my coz. Tho. Pepys, and got him to promise me L1,000 to lend my Lord upon his and my uncle Robert's and my security.
You don't seem very prosperous." "I never thought I should sink so low," answered Eben, mournfully, "as to saw wood for a colored man." "What are you talkin' about?" interrupted his boss, angrily. "Ain't I as good as a worfless white man that begged a meal of vittles of me, coz he was starvin'? You jest shut up your mouf, and go to work." Eben sadly resumed his labor.
And he said, "But thou art glad to see me?" And being busy with the child, she answered him without lifting her head, "Thou knowest that I am." Then did he laugh a little, and saith, "How should I know, coz? Proof, proof, I pray thee. Wilt thou not give me the kiss o' welcome after all these years?" Now he had not offered to kiss Mistress Marian.
