And, in verity, I laught so hearty that the Maid did be in fear I should set my wounds again to bleed, and did reproach herself again; but, in truth, I came to no harm. And when that I could speak, I askt the Maid whether that there had been brothers to her, because that she did play so natural.
O you flatterer!" laught the old woman: "but your darling chin that comes forward so complaisantly, and is so ready to wait upon you and spread itself out like a table. Don't you think you could put a good-sized platter upon it comfortably, where your mouth might then quietly nibble away, while your hands were seeking work elsewhere. This I call an economical arrangement."
Indeed, her Ladyship had her lesson ere she left Moor Park, and I knew not then enough to pity her. Pity 't is a flower that grows in the furrows of a heart ploughed over by sorrow, and my day was not yet come. He laught with me over the disconsolate beauty, when she importuned him to be her son's tutor, and he replied he had far other views.
Even I can hear the attraction in his voice. It will be splendid when he begins to feel his feet in the law courts. We'll make a celebrity of him, shall we just for the interest of it. But it's to be only a hobby, Lorraine, no entanglements, mind" and he laughed his low, pleasant laught. "Very well, call it a hobby, or what you like only keep him in mind now, Flip.
"A cat may be choked with cream as well as fishbones, Mrs Stella. Keep your pretty little eyes open, child, and thou shalt see." In a week she was his humble servant.

Here lies the child that was born in mirth, Against the strict rules of child-birth; And to be quit, I gave him to my friend, Who laught him to death, and that was his end."

I would laugh alone. My friend, thou art good and cautious and wise; nay, thou art perfect and I, too, speak with thee wisely and cautiously. And yet I am mad. But I mask my madness. I would be mad alone.
And before dinner is fully done, he must hear Peg asking her Mistris; Mistris, wont you please forsooth, to go by and by and give Mistris Moody a visit, or discourse a little with Madam Elenor?
