It was, of course, with the Walers that the little Levantine came nearest his desire. He imported them into the old country on a scale never before dreamed of.
"S'blood, man! but I must be careful, for Doctor Ormerod and Parson Dewhurst are within hearing, and may lecture me on the wantonness and profanity of swearing. By Saint Gregory de Northbury! no, that's an oath too, and, what is worse, a Popish oath. By I have several tremendous imprecations at my tongue's end, but they shall not out. It is a sinful propensity, and must be controlled.
