'My dear fellow, if you don't know your own stomach by this time, you did ought to do, replied Mr. Sponge.
Jog then drove on a few paces, and turned up a lane to the left, whose finger-post directed the road 'to Tollarton. He seemed less disconcerted than Sponge, who kept inwardly anathematizing, not only 'Obin and Ichard, but 'Diddle, diddle, doubt' 'Bah, bah, black sheep' the whole tribe of nursery ballads, in short.

Mrs. Jog was delighted, and found herself pouring the tea into the sugar-basin instead of into Jog's cup. Mr. Sponge, too, applauded.
