I regret to say that he was long in paying it. He loitered about the chapel gates before he came home; and seemed more than usually willing to talk to anyone about anything. At last, however, just as Meg was getting furious, he entered the inn. "Why, Martin, you born ideot av' she ain't waiting for you this hour and more!"
Thus do the dispositions of the infant indicate the future man; and though we see, in the behaviour of persons when grown up, so vast a difference, yet as all children at first act alike, I think it may be reasonably supposed, that were it not for some change in the constitution, an equal similitude of will, desires, and sentiments, would continue among us through maturity and old age; at least I am perfectly perswaded it would do so, among all those who are born in the same climate, and educated in the same principles: for whatever may be said of a great genius, and natural endowments, there is certainly no real distinction between the soul of the man of wit and the ideot; and that disproportion, which we are apt to behold with so much wonder, is only in fact occasioned by some or other of those innumerable and hidden accidents, which from our first coming into the world, in a more or less degree, have, an effect upon the organs of sense; and they being the sole canals through which the spirit shews itself, according as they happen to be extended, contracted, or obstructed, the man must infallibly appear.
In all these Circumstances which do not carry an immediate Regard to the Subsistence of her self or her Species, she is a very Ideot. There is not, in my Opinion, any thing more mysterious in Nature than this Instinct in Animals, which thus rises above Reason, and falls infinitely short of it.
"What the d l, then, am I to do with the confounded ideot?" said he. "If you'll take my advice, you'll do nothing." "What, and let her marry and have that young blackguard brought up to Dunmore under my very nose?" "I'm very much afraid, Mr Lynch, if you wish to be quit of Martin Kelly, it is you must lave Dunmore. You may be shure he won't." "Oh, as for that, I've nothing to tie me to Dunmore.
What Clive did best, she did better than Garrick; but could not do half so many things well; she was a better romp than any I ever saw in nature . Pritchard , in common life, was a vulgar ideot; she would talk of her gownd: but, when she appeared upon the stage, seemed to be inspired by gentility and understanding.
It manifests itself by halting or unsteadiness of one of the legs, which the patient draws after him like an ideot.
A murrain take such trumpery. The blockhead has been imposed upon, and should have known his company better. 'There, my dear, cried I, 'you are wrong, he should not have known them at all.

'There again you are wrong, my dear, cried I; 'for though they be copper, we will keep them by us, as copper spectacles, you know, are better than nothing.
"Order there, order; you cussed women, order, or I'll be among you. And if I just do jump over this here counter, won't I let fly right and left? Speak out, you ideot! do you think I can hear your muttering in this Babel? Cuss them; I'll keep them quiet," and so he took up a yard measure, and leaning over the counter, hit right and left.
Preston, they tell us, boldly avows the intended 'insurrection, and confesses all that can be wished, except, indeed, the main thing, which is, that you had a hand in the said 'insurrection. However, this is all a falsehood; and, if the proof of its falsehood be not made clearly appear before this day month, I will be content to pass for an ideot for the rest of my life.
