The enemy drew off, but to save the remnants of his storming troops kept our positions from near Ras et Tawil, Tel el Ful to the wadi Beit Hannina under heavy gunfire for the rest of the day. The Turk was hopelessly beaten, his defeat irretrievable. He had delivered thirteen costly attacks, and his sole gains were the exposed outpost positions at the Tawil and the quarries.
But it's a Bargain? Gay. Done Sir Feeble shall be witness and there stands my Hat. Sir Cau. He that comes first to One and thirty wins L. Ful. What are you playing for? Sir Feeb. Nothing, nothing but a Trial of Skill between an old Man and a Young and your Ladyship is to be Judge. L. Ful. I shall be partial, Sir. Sir Cau. Gay. Cater Tray Pox of the Dice Sir Cau. Gay.
What fondness in my Conduct had he seen, To take so shameful and so base Revenge? Gay. None 'twas filthy Avarice seduc'd him to't. L. Ful. If he cou'd be so barbarous to expose me, Cou'd you who lov'd me be so cruel too? Gay. What to possess thee when the Bliss was offer'd? Possess thee too without a Crime to thee? Charge not my Soul with so remiss a flame, So dull a sense of Virtue to refuse it.
L. Ful. I value not the Censures of the Croud. Sir Cau. But I am old. L. Ful. That's your fault, Sir, not mine. Sir Cau. But being so, if I shou'd be good-natur'd, and give thee leave to love discreetly L. Ful. I'd do't without your leave, Sir. Sir Cau. Do't what, cuckold me? L. Ful. No, love discreetly, Sir, love as I ought, love honestly. Sir Cau.
L. Ful. How now, Cousin! Is this high piece of Gallantry from you? Bea. Ay, Madam, I have not travel'd for nothing L. Ful. I find my Cousin is resolv'd to conquer, he assails with all his Artillery of Charms; we'll leave him to his success, Madam. Leticia and L. Fulbank. Bea. Go, salute her look how he stands now; what a sneaking thing is a Fellow who has never travel'd and seen the World!
The London Division that night established itself on the line from a point a thousand yards north of Jerusalem and east of the Nablus road through Ras Meshari to Tel el Ful, thence westwards to the wadi behind the olive orchards south of Beit Hannina.
It is a very fit- ful stream, and is sometimes observed to run thin and expose all the crudities of its channel, a great defect certainly in a river which is so much depended upon to give an air to the places it waters. But I speak of it as I saw it last; full, tranquil, powerful, bending in large slow curves, and sending back half the light of the sky.
Can you deny me will you not give me one lone hour i'th' Garden? Gay. Where we shall only tantalize each other with dull kissing, and part with the same Appetite we met No, Madam; besides, I have business L. Ful. Some Assignation is it so indeed? Gay. Away, you cannot think me such a Traitor; 'tis more important business L. Ful. Oh, 'tis too late for business let to morrow serve. Gay.
"Ye mean the ra-beyoned, black-feyaced lad, wi' the brocken neb? Why, that's a gentleman wi' a pocket ful o' guineas, man, and a horse worth fifty pounds!" "That horse is no better nor his rider. The nags that were in the stable wi' him, they all tuk the creepins, and sweated like rain down a thack.
The College green put off suddenly its antique gravity, and became "Embrouded ..... as it were a mede Alle ful of fresshe floures, white and rede," "floures" which to their gay hues and graceful outlines added the rare charm of fluttering in perpetual motion. It was a kaleidoscope without angles.
