So to Sir W. Pen's to visit him, and finding him alone, sent for my wife, who is in her riding-suit, to see him, which she hath not done these many months I think. By and by in comes Sir J. Minnes and Sir W. Batten, and so we sat talking. Among other things, Sir J. Minnes brought many fine expressions of Chaucer, which he doats on mightily, and without doubt he is a very fine poet.
She doats on seeing blood-shed and drinking champagne. Young Mr. Mallard is our authority; and he says, she enjoyed it, and cheered the victor for being her husband's man.
In time and as certainly as the grub turns in due season into the winged plague who buzzes and fly-blows the little reciting bore turns into the dramatic or theatric acting, reading, singing, recitative and finally into the everlasting-quotation-loving bore Greek, Latin, and English. The everlasting quotation-lover doats on the husks of learning.
"But, commandant, are you not afraid to trust her at Goa, where there are so many enticements for a woman, so many allurements held out for her sex?" "No, not in the least I am convinced that she loves me nay, between ourselves, that she doats upon me." "Liar!" exclaimed Philip. "How, signor! is that addressed to me?" cried the commandant, seizing his sword, which lay on the table.
He had been wondering, with his eyes fixed on the magistrates' powder, whether all boards were born with that white stuff on their heads, and were boards from thenceforth on that account. 'Well, said the old gentleman, 'I suppose he's fond of chimney-sweeping? 'He doats on it, your worship, replied Bumble; giving Oliver a sly pinch, to intimate that he had better not say he didn't.
"Had it been I, I wouldn't have let any one off." Pao-ch'ai smiled and pointed at her. "It is no wonder," she said, "that our dear ancestor doats on you and that every one loves you. Even I have to-day felt my heart warm towards you! But come here and let me put your hair up for you!" Tai-yue then, in very deed, swung herself round and crossed over to her.
It only figures, it is true, for want of something better, in Chinese cookery, so profusely hospitable for all that; but the hen doats upon it, and you do not despise it yourself when it comes back to you in the form of a chicken's wing, that second transformation of the matter of which the soil of your garden is composed.
It is impossible for civilized man to enter into the feelings of the savage under these circumstances, for he has never been similarly situated. He never has had such a quantity of food that he doats on placed at once before him; hence when a native proprietor of an estate in Australia finds a whale thrown ashore upon his property his whole feelings undergo a sudden revulsion.
It is, however, at this moment the agony-point to the embarrassed lover, who "doats yet doubts" whose suppressed feelings render him morbidly sensitive that a lady should be especially careful lest any show of either prudery or coquetry on her part should lose to her for ever the object of her choice.
As for the Lady Booby, she returned to London in a few days, where a young captain of dragoons, together with eternal parties at cards, soon obliterated the memory of Joseph. Joseph remains blest with his Fanny, whom he doats on with the utmost tenderness, which is all returned on her side.
