"Base poison vender," said Eviot, "men of our calling die on the field of battle." "I will save the lesson, however," replied Buncle, "in case of some pinching occasion.
Eviot did not choose to wait the extremity of this battery: he came forth into the court, and after some momentary questions for form's sake, caused the porter to undo the gate, as if he had for the first time recognised the midnight visitors.

"It may," he said, "cost my master his life." "Never fear, Cheviot," replied the Duke of Rothsay; "were he at the gates of death, here is what should make the fiends relinquish their prey.

Up, sir! you have been riding the air these some hours; try if the water be not an easier mode of conveyance. Your valours must lend me a hand.
