With no more waiting he took his seat at the head of the board, and, plunging his fingers into a steaming bowl of spaghetti, began to gobble at it in the unedifying way which his nation have and which, indeed, the dish demands.

So the duke took his hands off and says: "If you ever deny it again I'll drown you. It's WELL for you to set there and blubber like a baby it's fitten for you, after the way you've acted.

As a matter of fact, old Wetherbee wouldn't gobble him. He'd grunt or grumble or even rave a bit, but in the end he would yield up the money. He always did. And suddenly, while his courage had been so adroitly screwed to the sticking point, he went over to old Wetherbee's desk without further ado. The cashier was absorbed in adding several columns of figures and he let Starratt wait.
A corner of the harbor is also visible, high up, undefined like a lake lost in the clouds; the water faintly illumined by a ray of moonlight shining forth like a sheet of silver. Around us the long crystal trumpets keep up their gobble.
