Well, I mounted her on the black horse, and rode her en croupe, egad ha, ha! to Birmingham; and there we billed and cooed together like a pair of turtle-doves: yes ha! that we did!" "And this, I suppose, is the end of some of the BILLINGS?" said the Abbe, pointing to Mr. Tom. "Billings! what do you mean? Yes oh ah a pun, a calembourg. Fi donc, M. l'Abbe."
"A truce with your prating, dame," said Raoul, offering his assistance to help her from the croupe; but she preferred that of Guarine, who, though advanced in years, retained the advantage of his stout soldierly figure. "And, pray, sir, are ye come from the Holy Land? Heard ye any tidings there of him that was Constable of Chester?"
Brown was of opinion that this apparition of five or six men, with whom the other villains seemed to join company, coming across the moss towards them, should abridge ceremony; he therefore mounted Dumple en croupe, and the little spirited nag cantered away with two men of great size and strength as if they had been children of six years old.
The long stick should be constantly held up towards his croupe, to keep him on, but ready to be shown towards his head to keep him out.

"You're mistaken, sir, I assure you quite mistaken," replied my friend, edging off to the side of the road, as was his wont on these alarming occasions. "Well, I am willing to venture the wine; or, I will bet you ten pieces to five, that I carry your portmanteau on my croupe, and out-trot you into the bargain." This proposal raised my friend's alarm to the uttermost.
