You must be informed then, that Gastripheres, who had taken a turn into the kitchen a little before dinner, to see how things went on observing a wicker-basket of fine chesnuts standing upon the dresser, had ordered that a hundred or two of them might be roasted and sent in, as soon as dinner was over Gastripheres inforcing his orders about them, that Didius, but Phutatorius especially, were particularly fond of 'em.
But you must mark and carefully separate and distinguish these two things in your mind. The smile was for the company. The threat was for Yorick. Can you tell me, quoth Phutatorius, speaking to Gastripheres who sat next to him for one would not apply to a surgeon in so foolish an affair can you tell me, Gastripheres, what is best to take out the fire? Ask Eugenius, said Gastripheres.
Was it my case, said Gastripheres, as the main thing is the oil and lamp-black, I should spread them thick upon a rag, and clap it on directly. That would make a very devil of it, replied Yorick. It falls out very luckily, replied Phutatorius, that the second edition of my treatise de Concubinis retinendis is at this instant in the press. You may take any leaf of it, said Eugenius no matter which.
Gastripheres, for example, continued Kysarcius, baptizes a child of John Stradling's in Gomine gatris, &c. &c. instead of in Nomine patris, &c. Is this a baptism? No say the ablest canonists; in as much as the radix of each word is hereby torn up, and the sense and meaning of them removed and changed quite to another object; for Gomine does not signify a name, nor gatris a father.
