Austen's drawing-room, with "Sidney Smith guffawing," and "other people prating, jargoning, to me through these thin cobwebs Death and Eternity sate glaring." "How will this look in the Universe," he asks, "and before the Creator of Man?" When someone in his old age challenged him with the question, "Who will be judge?"

But there was no use in putting off the trial Virgie had slipped away in spite of every whispered remonstrance and now that she was there in the center of that group of guffawing Yankees, there, too, was the only place for him. And so, he stepped out swiftly and faced the enemy. "Hah!" shouted Dudley, looking up at the sound of branches crackling underfoot.

"Trouble indeed!" said the accused, guffawing. "What, do you think this matter has been any trouble to me? on the contrary, the most exquisite amusement! This annoyance of the county against me I would not sell for a thousand florins. It was glorious. 'Execution! Legally erased pictures! An investigation into my private behavior! I shall live for a year on this joke.

The worst of the mortification was that the little fellows, high and dry on the bank, were choking with laughter, which finally could no longer be suppressed, and broke forth in a merry peal.

"Stop laughing at me!" he cried, throwing back his head defiantly, his black eyes sparkling in anger. "Joel!" commanded Polly, in great distress.

You know as well as I do that I hate men nasty, selfish, guzzling, conceited, guffawing brutes! I never wanted to speak to a man in my life, except in the way of business." Milly waved her amber head gracefully for a moment as though at a loss, then returned playfully, "That must be because the women spoil you so."

By and by, however, he is at his work among the turnip-shoots, say guffawing and clapping his corduroys, with pauses for uneasy meditation, and there he ripens with the swedes, so that by the back-end of the year he has discovered, and exults to know, that the reward of manhood is neither more nor less than this sensation at the ribs.

The soldier had fallen back on to the seat, and was grinning inanely; the drovers were enjoying the joke beyond measure. 'Theer, lad! one of them cried. 'Tha's doon it nah!
