Each day is a festival unto them, who diligently heed the claustral proverb, De missa ad mensam. They do not use to linger and defer their sitting down and placing of themselves at table, only so long as they have a mind in waiting for the coming of the abbot; so they fell to without ceremony, terms, or conditions; and everybody supped, unless it were some vain, conceited, dreaming dotard.
Yet this very afternoon the inconsequent dotard had employed a telephone to summon his car to transport him to the links, and had denied even a glance of acknowledgment at the wonder floating above him. Much like that is growing Newbern.
'The dotard, the imbecile! Married? To whom? "'A daughter of the house of Nadis Shah, Rani Rue. "'I know her! cried the prince savagely. 'Implacable, ambitious, unscrupulous. What will she not attempt with that old driveller? Then, evidently impressed by something shadowed in the expression of his ill-omened Mercury, he exclaimed: 'You have more to tell me?
"Do not fear, maiden;" said Adam Warner, laying his hand upon the loosened locks that swept over his bosom, "for though I am old and feeble, God and his angels are in every spot where virtue trembles and resists. My lord king, thy sceptre extends not over a human soul!" "Dotard, prate not to me!" said Edward, laying his hand on his dagger.
Make thyself easy, old dotard! thou wilt never more press thy darling to thy bosom there is a gulf between thee and him impassable as heaven is from hell. He was torn from thy arms before even thou couldst have dreamed it possible to decree the separation.
"Boy, then, dotard!" cried the knight. "Could ye not see it was a wench? She in the murrey-coloured mantle she that broke her fast with water, rogue where is she?" "Nay, the saints bless us! Master John, ye called him," said the host. "Well, I thought none evil. He is gone. I saw him her I saw her in the stable a good hour agone; 'a was saddling a grey horse."
The old dotard had already forgotten me, and was playing with his right hand against his left again. "Do you not want to see me, Jacqueline?" I asked, watching her through a whirling fog. "No, monsieur," she answered chillingly. "No, monsieur!" "Do you wish me to go?" She said nothing, and I walked unsteadily toward the door. She followed me slowly.
There are only a few fools who ruin themselves now, some conceited youngsters, and occasionally an amorous old dotard. Well, you are a very calm, very grave, and very serious fellow, but above all, a very strong one." "Not with you, anyhow," murmured Noel. "Come now, stop that nonsense! You know very well what you are about.
May evil overtake the disobedient! May they be broken in pieces! Be silent, ye women!" If our cattle are carried off, where will you get kidneys?" The Bechnanas imagine that none who eat of the kidneys of the ox will have any offspring; on this account, no one, except the aged, will taste-them. Hence the contemptuous term of "kidney-eaters," synonymous with dotard.
In my office, my repute and understanding good, especially with the Duke and Mr. Coventry; only the rest of the officers do rather envy than love me, I standing in most of their lights, specially Sir W. Batten, whose cheats I do daily oppose to his great trouble, though he appears mighty kind and willing to keep friendship with me, while Sir J. Minnes, like a dotard, is led by the nose by him.
