"Look here," he said; "you mayn't know it, but I'm a bad man to contradict. This here Roman camp, as I was sayin' " "If you mean Little Dinnis Camp, Sir, 'tis as round as my hat." "Damme, if you interrupt again " "But I will.
You should consider it. Damme, sir, I repeat: it is a great chance you are given. "That your lordship gives me," Blood amended, "I am very grateful. But at the moment, I confess, I can consider nothing but this great news. It alters the shape of the world. I must accustom myself to view it as it now is, before I can determine my own place in it."
For we quarrelled before, because you were at pains to warn me. Well, sir, I humble myself before your wisdom." There was a pause. "Oh. Now we are all ill at ease," says Susan. "Odso, ma'am, it's not fair," Mr. Hadley cried. "I am not here to say, 'I told you so, I am not so proud of it. Well, damme, I have no temptation to be meddling in your affairs. But I think you will have to know.
"Damme, Will, you're a praetty sort of a broather to give me the slip in that way. But in this world every man for his-self!"

They'll knock us off the coach. 'Damme, coachee, says young my lord, 'you ain't afraid. Hoora, boys! let 'em have it. 'Hoora! sings out the others, and fill their mouths choke-full of peas to last the whole line. Bob, seeing as 'twas to come, knocks his hat over his eyes, hollers to his osses, and shakes 'em up; and away we goes up to the line on 'em, twenty miles an hour.

"Pish, man, the trade in salted herrings is no more a nursery of seamen than I'm Damme, what's this, Oliver? Damme, it's Weir. Your servant, Mister Weir, and I shall vastly relish seeing you strung up."

At all events, the swell was not a very courageous gentleman, for he trembled most exceedingly as he pointed his pistol. The gunner gave the word, as if he were exercising the great guns on board ship. "Cock your locks!" "Take good aim at the object!" "Fire!" "Stop your vents!"
"Immediately after, Adolph of Cleves, John of Luxemburg, John of Nassau, and others returned to Damme and paid their homage to the new duchess, and then my lady entered a horse litter, beautifully draped with cloth of gold. She was clad in white cloth of gold made like a wedding garment as was proper. On her hair rested a crown and her other jewels were appropriate and sumptuous.
"So do I," said Sir Thomas. "So do I," echoed the Colonel, "but, damme, I shall tell him the precise truth about the military aspect of the situation. One's my duty as a soldier just as much as the other. I haven't the least objection to dying, but be damned if I want my reputation to die with me.
