"Ay, Richard de Montfort, you had best take heed to yourself, he was your best friend; and a sore lookout it is for us all. Between the old dotard his father and the poor babes his children, England is in woeful plight. Would that your father's wits were among us still!
"But it is true, alas; and I therefore repeat it both for your admonition and my own. For an elderly gentleman trotting at a young girl's heels is a most unedifying spectacle giving occasion, and reasonably, to the enemy to blaspheme bad for her in numberless ways; and, if he's any remnant of self-respect left in him, is anything better than a fatuous dotard, damnably bad for him as well.
"Well, sir, what of it?" "This. I have been to Canaples this morning and, knowing that you will learn anon, from that old dotard, what passed between us, I prefer that you shall hear it first from me." I bowed to conceal a smile. "Thanks to you, M. de Luynes, I was ordered from the house. I Cesar de St. Auban have been ordered from the house of a provincial upstart!
While her head was exposed, she heard a cry of some one from the house in the street opposite, and Bhanavar beheld in the house of the broker an old wrinkled fellow that gesticulated to her in a frenzy. She snatched her veil down and drew in her head in anger at him, calling to her maids, 'What is yonder hideous old dotard?

What am I besides a meddler, and a stupid old idiot, and an old fool?" "You're a gray-headed maniac, and a a zinc-fastened Zany. A doddering dotard and a chimerical chump," I said. "Splendid!" roared he, with a spasm of laughter that seemed nearly to rend him. "Go on. Keep it up. I am enjoying myself hugely." "You're a sneak-livered poltroon to treat me this way," I added, indignantly.
"Hsi Jen treats her well enough, but that nurse of yours would also like to keep her well under her thumb; she's indeed an old dotard;" and Pao-yue was anxious to go over at once, but Pao-ch'ai laid hold of him and kept him back, suggesting: "It's as well that you shouldn't wrangle with your nurse, for she's quite stupid from old age; and it's but fair, on the contrary, that you should bear with her a little."

But, it may be said, the punishment of David's sin fell on his sons, and not upon himself. How so?
"Peace, dotard!" cried one: "think'st thou the servants of the most holy inquisition are to be daunted by thy clamours? Comrades, away with him!" Without heeding his remonstrances and entreaties, they seized upon his books and papers, took some note of the apartment, and the utensils, and then bore him off a prisoner.
The girl was silent. "Methought thou wouldst be glad " "Thy dog is strong," the girl replied. "Dost thou love that dotard Attalaq?" "No," the maid replied. "He is clumsy as the musk ox."
