And had not the Count warned him to treat the young Englishman as his own son merely to play a comedian's part and to frighten him before opening the doors with profuse apologies. Zaniloff did not like the turn affairs had taken. He determined to see the Governor-General without a moment's loss of time. Meanwhile there could be no earthly reason why the girl should not be flogged.
The Romans infibulated their singers in order to preserve their voice: "Si gaudet cantu; nullius fibula durat Vocem vendentis prætoribus." They even subjected to the same operation most of their actors: "Solvitur his magno comœdi fibula. Sunt, quæ Chrysogonum cantare vetent." "Take from Chrysogonus the power to sing, Loose, at vast prices, the comedian's ring."
Peacock had already found Miss Trevanion's waiting-woman ripe for any measure that might secure himself as her husband and a provision for life as a reward.

Two men were down in the boat in a moment, and the yacht edged her way toward the smack. When Lewis and Tom went down below, the burly comedian's true character soon became apparent. A handsome young fellow was twisting and gasping on the floor in pain cruel to see. "He've eat somethin's disagreed with him, sir.
