I shall seek it to-day; after which I will read Moore's fables, you impudence. My time, till near closing the mail, has been occupied in writing to your husband. At present I can only thank you both. New-York, June 24, 1804. "To-morrow, did I say? 'Tis nowhere to be found but in the fool's calendar;" and yet I said "to-morrow."
And I must plainly say ye drove a fool's bargain when ye let a man like the sailor-man so far forward in your private matters. But that's past praying for; and ye must lie on your bed the way ye made it. And the point in hand is just this: what did ye pay him?" "Has he tauld ye himsel'?" asked my uncle. "That's my concern," said Alan.
At all events I was very sorry for it, and it called to my recollection an old saying, which was very commonly used by my father, "a fool's bolt is soon shot." In consequence of Mr. Cobbett having given me the support of his able pen previous to the Bristol election, every exertion was made to induce him not to write upon that occasion in my favour.
At this he let fall his musket in blank amaze, and then came running and with hands outstretched. "O pal!" cries he, "O pal have I found ye at last? Ha, many's the time I've grieved for ye and my fool's doubts o' you, Martin, choke me else?
He was so astonished at this that at first he hid his head under the bed-clothes, under the idea that he already saw him entering with all his bounds; but as soon as he had a little recovered himself he began to curse capricious fortune, no longer doubting but this jealous fool's return had occasioned all his tribulations in the preceding night.
And I hated her, because she seemed to despise me in my fool's triumph! She cannot despise me now in my misery.... Go! Go! or you will drive me to the agony of going myself. There was but one thing to be done. 'You will wait, then, here? You will not leave me again? 'Yes. But you must be quick!
"All I can say is that it would be a most unfortunate accident." "Then I have come a thousand miles for nothing. This is worse than the time in London when I left you for your strictness. Can nothing be done?" "Am I not devoted to you? We have spent the whole day together. Now I don't think it's at all nice of you to reproach me with having brought you on a fool's errand."
You can ruin your soul by getting it set on one thing above everything else. Education, for instance, like the Wreams back there in Cambridge." "The Wreams!" Burgess exclaimed. "Yes, old Joshua Wream sold himself to an appetite for musty old Sanscrit till he'd sacrifice anybody's comfort and joy for it, same as I sold out to a fool's craving for drink.
"Several." "Among them an old woman?" "I saw no woman." "You are sure?" "Of course I am." Ruggles was disappointed. Could it be possible that he had been led on a fool's errand after all, and that Madge Scarlet, with her prize, had been concealed on the train, and continued on to New York? The thought was intolerable.
He chose the gold casket, for he said neither base lead nor silver could contain her picture. So be chose the gold casket, and found inside the likeness of what many men desire death. After him came the haughty Prince of Arragon, and saying, "Let me have what I deserve surely I deserve the lady," he chose the silver one, and found inside a fool's head.
