Sir William Felton, you are well mounted, gallop after the caitiff, I pray you." "Do so, Sir William," said the prince, "and give him this purse of a hundred nobles as a sign of the respect which I bear for him; for, by St. George! he has served his master this day even as I would wish liegeman of mine to serve me."
"The communication is already open with the Marche," said the first, "but as for thee, thou caitiff, who hast presumed to disparage my works, I'll have thee rammed into a mortar with a double charge of powder, and thrown into the enemy's quarters."
Let this insolent caitiff, Gosselin, be relieved of his irons and sent on shore. Let him be my niece's servant or, since a Huguenot marriage is as good as any in the presence of bears and buccaneers, let her call the hound her husband, if she likes. I have done with her; and the race from which she came disowns her forever." Thus it was done. Etienne was released from his chains and sent on shore.
The cruel Barbarico was no sooner arrived at his gloomy cave, than he called to him his little page; who, trembling to hear the tyrant now again returned, quickly drew near to attend his stern commands: when drawing out of the wallet the poor Fidus, more dead than alive, the monster cried out, 'Here, caitiff, take in charge this smoothed-faced miscreant; and, d'ye hear me? see that his allowance be no more than one small ounce of mouldy bread and half a pint of standing water, for each day's support, till his now blooming skin be withered, his flesh be wasted from his bones, and he dwindle to a meagre skeleton. So saying he left them, as he hoped, to bewail each other's sad condition.
"But I added," said he, "that I had heard that you were only deceiving us ignorant people, and that instead of souls shrieking, there were only sea- crabs crackling beneath the carpet," "O son of the fiend! blasphemous monster!" said the confessor; "but proceed caitiff."
And he knew, also, the caitiff! that if the circumstance became known the whole State would have protected you in your rights, and ejected him like a cur." "Nay, even in that case no harm should have reached him on my account. He was my husband's brother." "And worst enemy! But proceed, dear lady." "Well, I secluded myself as he commanded.
I had drawn perpetually on a heart overflowing and grateful, selfish caitiff that I was! This, however, I did not then understand, so completely were my eyes blinded! I left my cousin in a petulant spirit, and sought Eudora. She saw I was troubled, and asked me the cause. I told her.
At each rush the ladies backed and tittered, clinging together with the most engagingly natural semblance of terror. "Ha! caitiff wretch, beware!" declaimed Worthington nobly. "Only across my prostrate corse shall you reach your innocent victims. Say, Charlie boy," he added in a hurried aside, "I didn't poke you in the eye by mistake just now, did I?" "Wurra wurra wurra," roared Farge.
"What happened to you, Wally?" queried Jim, restoring a blushing damsel in blue to her form and rejoining his relations. "Did Sarah turn you down?" "I resigned gracefully in favour of Fred," Wally said. "He looked murderous, and Sarah looked woe-begone, so it seemed the best plan. But she's mine for the next and ill befall the caitiff that disputes my claim!" "No one'd dare!" said Jim, hastily.
It gave me some concern to be followed by a caitiff, watching for my purse, as I had only a sheath-knife with which to defend myself.
