As soon as they were without sight of the ale-house, the Corporal brought the aquiline profile of his gaunt steed on a level with his master's horse. "Augh, Sir!" said he, with more than his usual energy of utterance, "I see'd him!" "Him! whom?" "Man with ugly face what drank at Peter Dealtry's, and knew Master Aram, knew him in a crack, sure he's a Tartar!"
"Why they be so damned quarrelsome," said the Corporal, "wringle, wrangle, wrongle, snap, growl, scratch; that's not what a man of the world does; man of the world niver quarrels; then, too, these creturs always fancy you forgets that their father was a clargyman; they always thinks more of their family, like, than their writings; and if they does not get money when they wants it, they bristles up and cries, 'not treated like a gentleman, by God! Yet, after all, they've a deal of kindness in 'em, if you knows how to manage 'em augh! but, cat-kindness, paw today, claw to-morrow.
"Well, well!" muttered he, "the younker can't expect one as close at his heels as if we were trotting into Lunnon, which we might be at this time, sure enough, if he had not been so damned flighty, augh!" "Bunting, I say, do you hear?" "Yes, your honour, yes; this ere horse is so 'nation sluggish." "Sluggish! why I thought he was too much the reverse, Bunting?
"Why, you knows, your honour," answered the Corporal, "so far as vartue's concerned, there's a deal in constitution; but as for knowledge of the world, one gets it oneself!" "I don't wonder, Bunting as your opinion of women is much the same as your opinion of men that you are still unmarried." "Augh! but your honour mistakes! I am no mice-and-trope.
"Augh! then, the Colonel was a very fine gentleman, what the larned calls a my-seen-ass, wrote little songs himself, 'crossticks, you knows, your honour: once he made a play 'cause why, he lived with an actress!" "A very good reason, indeed, for emulating Shakespear; and did the play succeed?" "Fancy it did, your honour; for the Colonel was a dab with the scissors." "Scissors! the pen, you mean?"
"Glad to hear it, Sir!" said the hard-featured Stranger, nothing dashed. "But I can tell you a secret!" "What's that augh?" said the Corporal, cocking his pistol. "Whoever hurts you, friend, cheats the gallows!" replied the stranger, laughing, and spurring on his horse, to be out of reach of any practical answer with which the Corporal might favour him.
Mrs. Woffington here!" cried he; then he advanced business-like to Triplet. "We are aware, sir, of your various talents, and are come to make a demand on them. I, sir, am the unfortunate possessor of frescoes; time has impaired their indelicacy, no man can restore it as you can." "Augh! sir! sir!" said the gratified goose. "My Cupid's bows are walking-sticks, and my Venus's noses are snubbed.
Miss Ellinor and your honour be only cousins, to be sure; but more like brother and sister, nor any thing else. Howsomever, she's a rare cretur, whoever gets her. has a face that puts one in good-humour with the world, if one sees it first thing in the morning 'tis as good as the sun in July augh!
"Augh!" quoth the Corporal, with that sort of smile with which you see an old philosopher put down a sounding error from the lips of a young disciple who flatters himself he has uttered something prodigiously fine, "Augh! and did not I tell you, t'other day, to look at the professions, your honour?
"And I can tell you," said Ody Rafferty, "there's folks goin' about that you'll want all the wits you iver had, and maybe a thrifle tacked on, to get the better of rightly." "Augh, I question will they iver do any great things, goodness help them," said Mrs. Sheridan. "'Twill be much if he keeps them outside the House."
