"I am, as you have said, Monsieur le Bailli, a Vévaisan, and one that is well known among our artisans." "True, that was visible, spite of thy halberd.
I believe the people will continue to come into this crowded town, until it gets to be as pestilent as Rotterdam in the dog-days. You have now come to years when a man obtains his reflection, boy, and I expect suitable care and discretion about the premises, while my back is turned. Now, harkee, sirrah: I am not entirely pleased with the character of thy company.
Whereof forsooth, so as that now as that all o'the fat's in the fire, why I must a be set to catch the colt if I can. Why ay, to be sure! Whereby if so be as the Gaby goose may now go barefoot! And a whose fault is that? No! A wouldn't a be akin to a good estate; not he! But harkee me chit!
Yet must we repine therefore? Out upon thee for a sober, long-legged, doleful wight. Now harkee! Here sit I less fool! A fool who hath, this day, been driven forth of my lord's presence with blows and cruel stripes! And wherefore? 'Twas for setting a bird free of its cage, a small matter methinks though there be birds and birds, but mum for that!

"Harkee, landlord," said the serjeant, "don't abuse the cloth, for I won't take it." "D n the cloth!" answered the landlord, "I have suffered enough by them." "Bear witness, gentlemen," says the serjeant, "he curses the king, and that's high treason." "I curse the king! you villain," said the landlord. "Yes, you did," cries the serjeant; "you cursed the cloth, and that's cursing the king.
But, harkee," said he in a whisper, "are you satisfied of that young man's honesty? His looks are a little suspicious but I may be mistaken; he made a great many grimaces while he stood behind you, this is a very wicked town." I told him I was very well convinced of my comrade's integrity and, that the grimaces he mentioned were doubtless owing to his anxiety of my loss.
The captain heard me very calmly; then deliberately helping himself to some tobacco, he replied, "Harkee, Sir John. At Stunin'tun, when we catch a ferocious critter', we always put it in a cage.
