You two fellows will have to take them, and we'll divide the smaller fry among us." "Indeed we will do nothing of the kind. I'm not going to take Bassanio; I couldn't do it, and I won't try.
Upon those who talked excitedly of war and its consequences, with perverse spirit he fell like a sledge-hammer, and proved their information or judgment wrong.
