Pangloss pulled him by the sleeve. "My friend," said he, "this is not right. You sin against the universal reason; you choose your time badly." "S'blood and fury!" answered the other; "I am a sailor and born at Batavia. Four times have I trampled upon the crucifix in four voyages to Japan ; a fig for thy universal reason." Some falling stones had wounded Candide.
"Did you ever hear such a pack of stuff, general?" said Master Simon; "there's no talking with one of these chaps, when he once gets that confounded Cobbett in his head." "S'blood, sir!" said the general, wiping his forehead, "such fellows ought all to be transported." In the latter part of the day, the ladies from the Hall paid a visit to the green.
"S'blood, man! but I must be careful, for Doctor Ormerod and Parson Dewhurst are within hearing, and may lecture me on the wantonness and profanity of swearing. By Saint Gregory de Northbury! no, that's an oath too, and, what is worse, a Popish oath. By I have several tremendous imprecations at my tongue's end, but they shall not out. It is a sinful propensity, and must be controlled.
"You have truly, monsieur," said d'Artagnan, bowing again, "a courtesy, for which, I assure you, I am very grateful." "You confuse me," replied Athos, with his gentlemanly air; "let us talk of something else, if you please. Ah, s'blood, how you have hurt me! My shoulder quite burns." "If you would permit me " said d'Artagnan, with timidity. "What, monsieur?"
"S'blood!" cried he to d'Artagnan, "do not kill him, young man, I beg of you. I have an old affair to settle with him when I am cured and sound again. Disarm him only make sure of his sword. That's it! Very well done!" The exclamation was drawn from Athos by seeing the sword of Cahusac fly twenty paces from him.
"It is feared that it may be the smallpox, sir," replied Porthos, desirous of taking his turn in the conversation; "and what is serious is that it will certainly spoil his face." "The smallpox! That's a great story to tell me, Porthos! Sick of the smallpox at his age! No, no; but wounded without doubt, killed, perhaps. Ah, if I knew! S'blood!
"Come, gentlemen, have you decided?" cried Jussac for the third time. "It is done, gentlemen," said Athos. "And what is your choice?" asked Jussac. "We are about to have the honor of charging you," replied Aramis, lifting his hat with one hand and drawing his sword with the other. "Ah! You resist, do you?" cried Jussac. "S'blood; does that astonish you?"
But at the very moment when d'Artagnan stretched out his hand to receive it, M. de Treville was highly astonished to see his protege make a sudden spring, become crimson with passion, and rush from the cabinet crying, "S'blood, he shall not escape me this time!" "And who?" asked M. de Treville. "He, my thief!" replied d'Artagnan. "Ah, the traitor!" and he disappeared.
But of course we wouldn't hurt a young lady under any circumstances." "Of course not," said Victor. The fat man drew a big knife from his belt and flourished it about his head. "S'blood!" he ejaculated, fiercely. "S'bananas!" cried Beni, in a terrible voice. "Confusion to our foes!" hissed Victor.
"Did you ever hear such a pack of stuff, general?" said Master Simon; "there's no talking with one of these chaps when he once gets that confounded Cobbett in his head." "S'blood, sir!" said the general, wiping his forehead, "such fellows ought all to be transported!" In the latter part of the day the ladies from the Hall paid a visit to the green.
