Venice is the dress-coat of cities, making all men equal. Well might Wordsworth dub her "the eldest child of liberty"! For in the streets of Venice you cannot drive or ride walk you must. No gleaming broughams, no spanking steeds: nothing be you monarch or mendicant but your two legs. 'T is strange, in a land of no horses, to find Venetians styled "Cavalier" for title of honour.
'Well, Dame, said Henry, gaily, 'there is one revel for you. I have promised to knight the Lord Mayor, honest Whittington, and I hear he is preparing a notable banquet in the Guild Hall. 'A city mayor! exclaimed Queen Catherine, with ineffable disgust. 'My brothers would sooner cut off his roturier head than dub him knight!
It was a simple matter to give the dogs less food; but it was impossible to make the dogs travel faster, while their own inability to get under way earlier in the morning prevented them from travelling longer hours. Not only did they not know how to work dogs, but they did not know how to work themselves. The first to go was Dub.
She gave a reckless laugh and crossed her knees, looking at me under half-veiled lids, smooth and pure as a child's. "Food for the devil, they dub us in the Palatine church," she added, yawning, till I could see all her small, white teeth set in rose. A nice nest of kinsmen had I uncovered in this hard, gray Northern forest!
"Can you not understand now, Kenneth, how I came to fall so low? Can you not understand this dissoluteness of mine, which led them to dub me the Tavern Knight after the King conferred upon me the honour of knighthood for that stand of mine in Fifeshire?

You must be tired," said Miss Van Arsdale politely. Somewhere within the soul of civilized woman burns a craving for that higher power of sensation which we dub sensationalism.
There's a republic again in Mervo now." "But why? What had you done?" "Well, I abolished the gaming-tables. But, more probably," he went on quickly, "they saw what a perfect dub I was in every " She interrupted him. "Do you mean to say that, just because of me ?"
Milt made sure of that comfort; he reveled in it; he looked at Claire, and in her loyal smile found ease. He snarled, "She trusts you. Forget you're a dub. Try to be human. Hang it, I'm no greener at the opera than old horsehair sofa there would be at a garage." There was something What was it he was trying to remember? Oh yes.

May my best friends ever afterward refer to me only as a 'dub. For if I fail the school, then am I truly a 'dub, and there is no help for me.
And this, too, not only for so petty a gratification, but for one that rarely lasts above a London season. We allow the low-born author to be the lion this year; but we dub him a bore the next.
