"Ay," hiccuped out the elder of the two sons, "the houses might come my way, then; an', besides, gin Helen Henry were to lose her ae joe, the ither might hae a better chance. Rise, brither rise, man, an' fight for me an' your sweetheart." The younger lad, who seemed verging towards the last stage of intoxication, struck his clenched fist against his palm, and attempted to rise.
'Oh, let the beef-eaters the scene-shifters I meant to say the servants those fellows, you know, in scarlet and black caps, look after them, replied brother Bob Spangles. 'But there are none of them here, exclaimed Mr. Sponge, looking back on the deserted road. 'None of them here! hiccuped Sir Harry, who had now got reeled to the window.
He had drunk a larger quantity of wine than usual at dinner, in sheer delight at the approaching assignation, and having got out the rum bottle for a quiet "settler" just as the victim of his fascinations glided through the carefully-adjusted door, he had been persuaded to go on drinking. "Cuc-come, Sarah," he hiccuped. "It's all very fine, my lass, but you needn't be so hic proud, you know.
Jawleyford found her husband in a desperate state of excitement, his influenza being greatly aggravated by Harry having returned very drunk, with the mare's knees desperately broken 'by a fall, as Harry hiccuped out, or by his 'throwing her down, as Jawleyford declared. Horses fall with their masters, servants throw them down.
"To have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part." The words rang in his ears still, with a solemnity that even the red-nosed, snuffy, broken-down parson who hiccuped through the service had not been able to kill. But, God! the irony of the thing the ghastly mockery!
Never let her speak to me again; never let anybody who is a friend of mine speak to her; a slut, a hussy, an impudent artful hussy! Having denounced the object of her wrath, in these terms, Miss Knag screamed once, hiccuped thrice, gurgled in her throat several times, slumbered, shivered, woke, came to, composed her head-dress, and declared herself quite well again.

He again recoiled, and laughed a laugh of terror and rage. It was Laubardemont, followed by armed men; they looked at one another. "Ah, com-r-a-d-e, yo-a ra-a-scal!" hiccuped Houmain, rising with difficulty; "thou'rt a Royalist."
'It must be Sir Harry, replied the billiard-table man, not fancying being 'let in' for anything. 'Oh! Sir Harry will let us have anything we like, I'm sure, rejoined Miss Glitters. 'Oh, we want you to give us a dance under those charming cedars, replied the lady, looking lovingly at him. 'Cedars! hiccuped Sir Harry, 'where do you see any cedars?
Spigot retired, and presently returned, bearing a tray with three-quarters of a bottle of brandy, which he impressed upon their minds was the 'cook's own. 'I dare say, hiccuped Jack, holding the bottle up to the light. 'Hope she wasn't using it herself, observed Sponge. 'That'll be all you'll do, I dare say, muttered Spigot to himself, as he sauntered back to his pantry.
