The knave is a lying vagabond. He hath stolen this pack of goods." "Why, fie for shame!" cried Cicely, and stamped her little foot. "Nick doth not steal, and thou knowest it, Gregory Goole!
Her glances, shot athwart, frequently exclaimed 'Oh la! and the fan, half concealing their significance, often enough increased the interjection to 'Oh fie! The remarks of Miss, ocular and oral, were very pointed, and it must be owned that she was a great master of the subject. Whenever the tone of libertine gallantry occurred, she was ready with 'There!
