As for the priest aforesaid, he had a different purpose, and that purpose did not lead him to make any effort to procure lodgings. He refreshed himself with a repast at the nearest hosteria, after which, girding up his loins, he left the place by the high-road.
Then, with a great many playful leaps and airy caperings, he showed his impatience to be gone, while Bellerophon was girding on his sword and hanging his shield about his neck and preparing himself for battle. He then turned the head of Pegasus toward the east, and set out for Lycia.
On coming within sight of it the cousin, Sancho, and Don Quixote dismounted, and the first two immediately tied the latter very firmly with the ropes, and as they were girding and swathing him Sancho said to him, "Mind what you are about, master mine; don't go burying yourself alive, or putting yourself where you'll be like a bottle put to cool in a well; it's no affair or business of your worship's to become the explorer of this, which must be worse than a Moorish dungeon."

The blow rang and resounded; so he cleared away the soil from the place and discovered a trap-door and raised it.

"Well, honestly, Miss Eschelle, do you think the negroes are any better off?" "You'd better ask them. My opinion is that everybody should do what he likes in this world." "Then what are you girding Mr. Henderson for about his university?"

" Girding on his sword," the Judge went on, "and marching " " Up and down Broadway!" put in the young girl, in a second parenthesis, not more audible than the other.
They were discussing the matter with heat, and I could hear young Torode's voice above the rest urging them forward and girding at their lack of courage. Their broken growls came back to me also.
