"Could scale yon mountain-brow?" said Godrith, laughing, and pointing to Penmaen-mawr. The Norman looked and was silent, though he thought to himself, "That Sexwolf was no such dolt after all!" The sun had just cast his last beams over the breadth of water into which Conway, or rather Cyn-wy, "the great river," emerges its winding waves.
It is as I told you; that Manuel was speaking threats against the big señor, last night; and he had drunk much wine, so that he walked not steady. And with Carlos and perhaps one or two others of that I am not sure he rode away soon after dark. Dolt, that I did not tell thee at the time!

I hated the constant chase and scramble for bargains and I hated to yell and scream in order to create a demand for my wares by the sheer force of my lungs. Many an illiterate dolt easily outshouted me and thus dampened what little interest I had mustered. One fellow in particular was a source of discouragement to me.
"At any rate, that's well, Falfani," said Lord Blackadder, with a sigh of satisfaction. "But what of your friend Tiler? Thick-headed dolt, unable to keep awake, I suppose."

Then we blow up the church, and old Twemlow's house, and the Admiral's, when we have done with it.

"You insult me, sir," she cried, and the flush on her face deepened. "Then I do in few words what his Grace does in many," I retorted. I went about it like a dolt, I do not doubt.
