"He was stunned for the moment; he is coming round." And in confirmation of his words Sir Blaise opened his eyes, and then with difficulty sat up and stared ruefully at Evander. "Gogs!" he said, first rubbing his head and then looking at his reddened palm. "Gogs! That was a swinging snip. I am as dizzy as a winged pigeon." "Let me help you to rise," Evander said, courteously.
"Pardon me, lieutenant," says he, "but the members of our organization are quite anxious to know, first of all, if you will accept the high command of the Gogs, so called." "With pleasure," says Hartley. "And as I was about to say " "Just a moment," breaks in Beans again. "Fellow Gogs, we have before us a willing candidate for the High Command. What is your pleasure?"
Should you be so remiss, or should you falter in doing your full duty, you will be returned at once to this room, where retribution waits with heavy hands. Ho, Worthy Buddies!

As soon as he gets his wind though, he tries to state what's on his mind. "You you young rough-necks!" says he. "I I'll make you sweat for this. You'll see!" "Harken, fellow Gogs!" says Beans.
I will not spare myself, young ladies; for, had you seen me then, you would have considered me now vastly ameliorated in outer presentment. My double row of teeth were stowed away in my pocket, my frisette was pushed back from my head by my recent fall, and my gogs the same my father wore before me covered my face, and they alone attracted attention, and created some excitement.
