Far different were the days to which these anecdotes have carried me back. The dark guesses of some zealous Quidnunc met with so congenial a soil in the grave alarm of a titled Dogberry of our neighbourhood, that a spy was actually sent down from the government pour surveillance of myself and friend.
His profession; he was silent. Several other questions were put, to none of which he returned any reply. Pleydell wiped the glasses of his spectacles and considered the prisoner very attentively. 'A very truculent- looking fellow, he whispered to Mannering; 'but, as Dogberry says, I'll go cunningly to work with him. Here, call in Soles Soles the shoemaker.
To make matters worse I drank some dogberry cordial and it chased the catnip tea all over my concourse. Then Peaches, being a student of natural history, insisted that I take some hoarhound, I suppose to bite the dogberry, but it didn't. Blood will tell, so the hoarhound joined forces with the dogberry and chased the catnip up my family tree.
But couldn't I contrive to have a little right on my side? Sandy Beard. What the devil signifies right when your courage is concerned. Do you think Verges, or my little Dogberry ever inquired where the right lay? No, by my soul; they drew their writs, and left the lazy justice of the peace to settle the right of it. Straw Hat. Your words are a grenadier's march to my heart!
How did he know Dogberry and Pistol, Bardolph and Doll Tearsheet? He must have gone about with them. You don't go about with public school boys of your own class, for you know them; you have nothing to learn from them: they can teach you nothing.
That was the great charm of the man, that by the magnetic spell of his magnificent vitality he drew from everyone their best. In his company clever people waxed intellectual giants, while the dull sat amazed at their own originality. Conversing with him, Podsnap might have been piquant, Dogberry incisive. But better than all else, I found it listening to his own talk.
This action was not committed with impunity: in an instant two of the moon's minions, staffs, lanterns, and all, were measuring their length at the foot of their namesake of royal memory; the remaining Dogberry was, however, a tougher assailant; he held Staunton so firmly in his gripe, that the poor youth could scarcely breathe out a faint and feeble d ye of defiance, and with his disengaged hand he made such an admirable use of his rattle, that we were surrounded in a trice.
Its sides were wild, abrupt, and precipitous, and partially covered with copse-wood, as was the little brawling stream which ran through it, and of which the eye of the spectator could only catch occasional glimpses from among the hazel, dogberry, and white thorn, with which it was here and there covered.
And to this elasticity of spirits whether the result of my profession, or the gift of God as Dogberry has it I know not I owe the greater portion of the happiness I have enjoyed in a life, whose changes and vicissitudes have equalled most men's. Drawn up in a line along the shore, I could scarce refrain from a smile at our appearance.
I groped my way back to the inn over the infernal cailloux, feeling like a discomfited Dogberry. I had chosen it for the sake of this exceptional ornament. It was damp and dark, and the floors felt gritty to the feet; it was an establishment at which the dreadful gras-double might have appeared at the table d'hôte, as it had done at Narbonne.
