I didn't know the law, and he made me give him three dollars not to put the handcuffs upon me, and then I had to treat him in every grog-shop we came to. Yes, and the last shop we were in, he throw'd liquor in me face, cursed the Dutchman that kept the shop, kick'd me, and tried every way in the world to raise a fuss. If I hadn't know'd the law here too well, I'd whipt him sure.
What, said he, with a threatning Air, shall you, who are no better than a Lacquey, dare to deny Admittance to your Master's nearest Relation? and at once kick'd open the Door, and went forward into the Apartment, followed by the Mollak.
One would have thought that the New Hampshire village would have risen in mob to prevent the inscription that was really placed on one of its tombstones descriptive of a man who had lost his life at the foot of a vicious mare on the way to brook: "As this man was leading her to drink She kick'd and kill'd him quicker'n a wink."
Before this Disappointment, Sir ROGER was what you call a fine Gentleman, had often supped with my Lord Rochester and Sir George Etherege, fought a Duel upon his first coming to Town, and kick'd Bully Dawson in a publick Coffee-house for calling him Youngster.
Ay, but between you and I, 'twas well he kick'd me first, and made me angry, or I had been lustily swing'd, by Fortune But thanks to my Spleen, that sav'd my Bones that bout But then I did well hah, came briskly off, and the rest. Sham. With Honour, Sir, I protest. Sir Tim. Come then, we'll serenade him. Come, Sirrah, tune your Pipes, and sing. Boy. What shall I sing, Sir? Sir Tim.
And there, for an hour at least, we kick'd our heels, until from the inner ward Captain Stubbs came striding and commanded us to follow. At the far end, around a great marble table, were some ten or more gentlemen seated, who all with one accord turn'd their eyes upon us, as the captain brought us forward.
Father have had fair warning, and he knows me. I'll take the littl'uns and be the best sort of mother I can to them; father shan't have 'em. He kick'd the Cap'n last week he shan't never do it no more. I promised mother, so there's no argufying on that point the boys and me we must go." "But where will you take them, honey?
Le Diable! which is the first, and positive degree, is generally used upon ordinary emotions of the mind, where small things only fall out contrary to your expectations; such as the throwing once doublets La Fleur's being kick'd off his horse, and so forth. Cuckoldom, for the same reason, is always Le Diable!
Shou'd I discover this Rascal, he wou'd tell the old Gentleman I was the same that attempted his House to day in Woman's Clothes, and I should be kick'd and beaten most insatiably. Scar. What, Seignior, for a Man of Parts to be impos'd upon, and whip'd through the Lungs here like a Mountebank's Zany for sham Cures Mr. Doctor, I must tell you 'tis not civil. Doct.
A dead ass, before we had got a league, put a sudden stop to La Fleur's career; his bidet would not pass by it, a contention arose betwixt them, and the poor fellow was kick'd out of his jack- boots the very first kick. La Fleur bore his fall like a French Christian, saying neither more nor less upon it, than Diable!
