Calton was too much inwrapped in the contemplation of his happiness to see the equivoque between Hicks and himself; and threw himself back in his chair. ‘Oh, Matilda!’ sighed the antique beau, in a lack-a-daisical voice, and applying his right hand a little to the left of the fourth button of his waistcoat, counting from the bottom. ‘Oh, Matilda!’ ‘What Matilda?’ inquired Hicks, starting up.

"I shall, Mees, myself dispose of Piggee, if it please. I can. I shall have no sound; he shall to go away like a silent snow, to trouble you no more, never!" "Oh, Sir! if you could! But I don't see how!" "If Mees was to see, it would not be to save her pain. I shall have him to go by magique to fiery land." Fairy-land, probably! But Miss Lucinda did not perceive the équivoque.
