"Wait till I see a little more of it," said Joe, with his finger on the trigger. "Don't fire, Joe! its a man's cap!" exclaimed Glenn, detecting under the dark brim the large staring eyes of a human being, apparently evincing a sense of imminent peril; and the next moment the muzzle of a gun pointing above their heads came in view. "Dod rot it, look up that tree!"
His son, Edward M. Whitty, was the originator of that interesting feature of English and Irish journalism, the sketch of personalities and proceedings in parliament. Of the editors of the Athenaeum for many years the leading English organ of literary criticism one of the most famous was Dr. John Doran, who was of Irish parentage. "Dod" is a familiar household word in the British Parliament.
"Dod rot your cowardly hide of you!" said Sneak, staring at him contemptuously; "now don't you know he knowed it before you did?" "Yes but I was going home to tell him that some bullets must be run that's what I meant." "Don't you think he knows that as well as you do?" continued Sneak.
Under selve bryllupet blusser kampen op, idet en af brudesvendene bliver dræbt af en af Hadbarderne, som en gammel kæmpe bar ægget op til at hævne sin faders död.

'Mr Brand's your name? he asked in his gusty voice. 'I was expectin' ye, but Dod! man ye're late! He extricated from his trousers pocket an ancient silver watch, and regarded it with disfavour. 'The dashed thing has stoppit.
