Such an example have I now before me, when you, Sir, came forward to patronise and befriend a distant and obscure stranger, merely because poverty had made him helpless, and his British hardihood of mind had provoked the arbitrary of wantonness and power.

Of all the public buildings, the Theatre and the Exchange are the finest. The interior of the former is very neat, and contains a roomy pit and two galleries, portioned off as boxes. The inhabitants of the town patronise the theatre a great deal, but not so much on account of the Italian operas played there, as for the sake of possessing a common place of meeting.

"What does Lincoln mean?" he would blankly exclaim, impervious alike to the drollery and to the keen prod concealed within it. In his fancied superiority he sought to patronise and dominate the rude Illinoisian. The case is pathetic. The width and the depth of the chasm which separates the two men in the regard of the American people!
"It ought to suit you, Jack; it's an equality medicine; cures one disorder just as well as the other." "Or kills which levels all the patients. You're right, Gascoigne, I must patronise that stuff for more reasons than one. Who was that person on deck in mufti?" "The mufti, Jack? in other words, the chaplain of the ship; but he's a prime sailor, nevertheless." "How's that?"

'There is one fault in that portrait, said his Lordship, who was a rigid disciplinarian; 'and I wonder that my friend Mick, as a military man, should have overlooked it. "'What's that? says Mrs. Hoggarty of Castle Hoggarty.
I have heard her criticise and patronise him as a "good soul," but incapable, as indeed he was, of all sympathy with her. After marriage she went her way and he his. She got up early, as she was wont to do, and took her Bible into the fields while he was snoring.
