My witness there has been bribed. The Bantam's been bribed," and he shivered his pipe with an energetic thump on the table "bribed! I knows it! I could swear to't!" "Upon oath?" Richard inquired, with a grave face. "Ay, upon oath!" said the farmer, not observing the impertinence. "I'd take my Bible oath on't! He's been corrupted, my principal witness!
"Are you beaten?" at last cried Young Islay, drawing back for a truce. "No," said Gilian, gasping. "I'm only tired, but he looked bloody and vanquished. "It's the same thing," said Young Islay, picking up his rod. "You can do nothing with your hands; I I can do anything." And he drew up with a bantam's vanity. He moved off. The torn book was in his path.
Some H2O for a gent fainted. Look at Bantam's flowers. Gemini. He's going to holler. The colleen bawn. My colleen bawn. O, cheese it! Shut his blurry Dutch oven with a firm hand. Had the winner today till I tipped him a dead cert. The ruffin cly the nab of Stephen Hand as give me the jady coppaleen. He strike a telegramboy paddock wire big bug Bass to the depot. Shove him a joey and grahamise.
"Get out of the way!" cried the majestic Telson, brushing past him towards King, who now stood with his coat off and a very apologetic face, ready for the young bantam's disposal.

And now what on earth was left for poor Dr. Wolf to do? Could he sub-embezzle a Highlander's breeks? Could he subtract more than her skin from off the singed cat? Could he peel the core of a rotten apple? Could he pare a grated cheese rind? Could he flay a skinned flint? Could he fleece a hog after Satan had shaved it as clean as a bantam's egg?
Before he left the room, Algernon asked Richard if the farmer had vouchsafed any reasons, and the boy then spoke of the tampering with the witnesses, and the Bantam's "Not upon oath!" which caused Adrian to choke with laughter. Even the baronet smiled at so cunning a distinction as that involved in swearing a thing, and not swearing it upon oath.
