It was during these strolls that Gamba easily secured all sorts of little favours.

The first exclamation, on entering John's parlors, was so often "How beautiful!" that it became rather a byword in the family.

There is no longer a Popish tyrant on the throne of England, and by to-morrow noon, his name shall be a byword in this very street, where ye would make it a word of terror. Back, thou that wast a Governor, back! With this night thy power is ended to-morrow, the prison! back, lest I foretell the scaffold!"
