From the tenor of your last letter, however, I am led to imagine that you have formed some new attachment. If it be so, let me earnestly request you to see me once more, and immediately. This is the only proof I require of the friendship you profess for me. I will then decide, since you boggle about a mere form.
He declined "to boggle and wrangle over minor defects in what is intrinsically good," and praised Wild Wales as "the first really clever book . . . in which an honest attempt is made to do justice to Welsh literature." Borrow had much time upon his hands in London, which he occupied largely in walking.
March 1st. Up, and this day being the day than: by a promise, a great while ago, made to my wife, I was to give her L20 to lay out in clothes against Easter, she did, notwithstanding last night's falling out, come to peace with me and I with her, but did boggle mightily at the parting with my money, but at last did give it her, and then she abroad to buy her things, and I to my office, where busy all the morning.
"I am pleased with you. For this work you shall have much backsheeshi a month's wages extra, and twenty goats for your farm, and any other thing that you want most. What is it?" Simba appeared to hesitate and boggle. "Speak up! I am Very pleased." "This is a very great thing I would ask," said Simba in a low voice. "It is a great thing you have done." "Bwana," cried Simba earnestly.

You needn't boggle at it; it's honest got and earned, long before this other racket. Now you can go.
"I mean, imagination doesn't boggle." "No, sir." And it didn't. I could see exactly what must have happened. Insert a liberal dose of mixed spirits in a normally abstemious man, and he becomes a force. He does not stand around, twiddling his fingers and stammering. He acts.
Five men knew how this result was brought about, and three of them had been for a good many years in the enjoyment of a pension one in Australia, one in Canada, and one in the United States. These pensions were paid by Cousins John and James, and paid by no means willingly. Not to boggle at this matter, the two cousins, at John's instigation, had contrived a simple villainy.
Tucked away in the ample folds of his turban was a letter to Yasmini, giving Sita Ram's accurate account of what had happened at the secret conference. Safe rules for defeating a rascal are three, And the first of them all is appear to agree. The second is boggle at points that don't matter, Hold out for expense and emolument fatter.
For he that dareth thus to injure his neighbour, who can trust him in anything he speaks? what will not he say to please his vile humour, or further his base interest? what, thinks any man, will he scruple or boggle at, who hath the heart in thus doing wrong and mischief to imitate the devil?

None need boggle really at any Chinese date after about 2350 B.C.; Babylon is fairly settled back to about 4000; and if you cannot depend on assigned Egyptian dates, at least there is a reasonably know sequence of dynasties back through four or five millennia. But come to India, and alas, where are you?
