He saw that Bedient had been handled a bit, and had only a vague idea that he was embroiled in a scandal, the sordidness of which was apt to reach every ear but the principals'.

Peregrine meets with Mrs. Hornbeck, and is consoled for his Loss His Valet-de-chambre is embroiled with her Duenna, whom, however, he finds means to appease. Everything having thus resumed its natural channel, they dined together in great tranquility.
If my young friend, whose excellent article I have referred to, could only introduce the manly art of self-defence among the clergy, I am satisfied that we should have better sermons and an infinitely less quarrelsome church-militant. A bout with the gloves would let off the ill-nature, and cure the indigestion, which, united, have embroiled their subject in a bitter controversy.
"That is just what you don't do, Murdock, not from this base, as you well know by now. You take no weapon from here which is not designed for the period in which your run lies.
