"You are not well," he said, with instant show of curiosity; "your wounds still trouble you? They should be healed. Gabord was ordered to see you cared for." "Gabord has done well enough," answered I. "I have had wounds before, monsieur." He leaned against the wall and laughed. "What braggarts you English are!" he said. "A race of swashbucklers even on bread and water!"
Ye are the best braggarts, and have sufficiently learned the art of making dregs boil. Where ye are, there must always be dregs at hand, and much that is spongy, hollow, and compressed: it wanteth to have freedom. 'Freedom' ye all roar most eagerly: but I have unlearned the belief in 'great events, when there is much roaring and smoke about them. And believe me, friend Hullabaloo!
Here voyageurs frolicked away their wages, fiddling and dancing in the booths and cabins, buying all kinds of knick-knacks, dressing themselves out finely, and parading up and down, like arrant braggarts and coxcombs.

Each of these men cried aloud continually, the name of the suspected criminal, of the witnesses, and his crime; and vehemently called upon any person who knew anything in his favor to come forward and testify. Have we, supercilious braggarts of this age of progress, attained the prudential wisdom of Sanhedrim?
And all the girls, all the girls, all the girls, will go to this ball. Oh, mamacita!" Her mother was obliged to laugh. "Well, well, I cannot refuse you anything; you know that! Go to the ball! Ay, yi, do not smother me! As you have said that little head can think we must meet these insolent braggarts sooner or later.
