Corpo del diavolo is it possible!" cried the commandant, panting for breath, as he seized his long sword with both hands and clenched it with fury. "What, then, I have been deceived, cajoled, laughed at!" Then, after a pause the veins of his forehead distending so as almost to burst he continued, with a suppressed voice, "Most noble sir, I thank you; but now it is my turn. What, ho! there!
He was exceedingly wroth, and poured forth his vexation in a torrent of very unparliamentary language. "Corpo di Guida!" he exclaimed, among a curious assortment of heterogeneous adjurations "Body of Judas!" stooping to the ground as he spoke, and striking the back of his hand against it, with an action that very graphically represented a singular survival of the classical testor inferos!
"Corpo di Bacco!" answered the other, laughing, "friend of mine, if you can tell the precise day when brandy and laces were first smuggled from France into my country, I will answer your question. I think you have never navigated as far north as the Bay of Biscay and our English Channel, or you would know that a Guernsey-man is better acquainted with the rig of a lugger than with that of a ship."

Greene's eyes, when she had done being hysterical, were terrible, and Sophonisba looked at me as though I were a convicted thief. "Who put the box here?" I said, turning fiercely upon the Boots. "I did," said the Boots, "by Monsieur's express order." "By my order?" I exclaimed. "Certainly," said the Boots. "Corpo di Baccho!" said the landlord, and he also looked at me as though I were a thief.
Before her knees stands her niece Madame de Noailles, a child; at a distance a view of Versailles or St. Cyr, I could not distinguish which. We were shown some rich reliquaires and the corpo santo that was sent to her by the Pope. We were then carried into the public room of each class.
