"Ah, fool," said the knight, "thy desire is utterly in vain, for it shall never be achieved but by me, or by my next of kin." Therewith he started to the king's horse, and mounted to the saddle, crying out, "Grammercy, this horse is mine!"
This cryptic and involved method of His providence have I ever admired; nor can I relate the history of my life, the occurrences of my days, the escapes, or dangers, and hits of chance, with a bare grammercy to my good stars.
"Holla, Dick Admiral!" cried neptune, who was pretty far gone in liquor; "we knew thou hadst a right English heart in thee, for all thou standest there as taut as a Don who has swallowed his rapier." "Grammercy, stop thy bellowing, fellow, and on; for thou smellest vilely of fish." "Everything smells sweet in its right place. I'm going home."
"Grammercy, mistress, but we follow my grand-dame's recipe!" said Dennet, grasping her implement firmly. "Come, child, be not above taking a lesson from thine elders! Where's the goose? What?" as the girl looked amazed, "where hast thou lived not to know that a live goose should be bled into the mincemeat?"
"A Saxon peasant," said De Graville, "told me that the ground was called Senlac or Sanglac, or some such name, in their musicless jargon." "Grammercy!" quoth Grantmesnil, "methinks the name will be familiar eno' hereafter; no jargon seemeth the sound to my ear a significant name and ominous, Sanglac, Sanguelac the Lake of Blood."
He was so kind-hearted and so polite. "He'll be great company for us back in the Emerald City," whispered the Cowardly Lion as the Knight went off to get Dorothy a drink from a little spring. "That is, if he forgets this grammercy, bludgeon stuff." "I think it sounds lovely," said Dorothy, "and he's remembering more of it all the time. But I wonder why there are no people here.
Guido mine," he shouted, "whither away now, this bright day, that invites you, methinks, to go fowling in the hills rather than hide in the gloom of the Cloister yonder? Do me a favour, and come to my house at Arezzo, where I will play the flute to you, for the pleasure of seeing you smile." "Grammercy!" replied Messer Guido, without so much as deigning to turn his head.
And when he had satisfied his hunger, he gave them grammercy for their entertainment, and took horse and rode away. Here he drew rein and looked about him for a considerable while; for he thought that haply he might find some trace of Sir Lionel thereabouts. But there was no trace of him, and Sir Launcelot wist not what had become of him.
After this he went to a door, and, opening it, said: "I am going uptown for the afternoon. If Mr. Murtha comes, Mr. Ogden will see him.". Peter went down and took a cab, giving the driver a number in Grammercy Park. The footman hesitated on Peter's inquiry. "Mr. D'Alloi is in, sir, but is having his afternoon nap, and we have orders he's not to be disturbed." "Take him my card. He will see me."
But grammercy to Saint George, there be not many of that sort after they be once fleshed!" Perhaps a year ago, when fresh from the Forest, Stephen might have been more captivated by the notion of adventure and conquest. Now that he had his place in the community and looked on a civic position with wholesome ambition, Fulford's longings for havoc in these peaceful streets made his blood run cold.
