"Thy beauty, thou unparalleled fool," said Achilles, "must, I ween, be the daughter of the large-bodied northern boor, living next door to him upon whose farm was brought up the person of an ass, curst with such intolerable want of judgment."
"By Gosh, I wish I had the curst British rascal who played me this trick, on t'other shore if I wouldn't tuck my knife into his b y gizzard, then is my name not Jeremiah Desborough. What the h l's to be done now?"
