The king came on the first day to the camp of Pyrrhus, a place so called in Triphylia, a district of Melotis; and on the following day he reached Mount Lingos, an immense march for his army, but his fear impelled him.

Or come over my way an' try to borrow some more, if you think I'm an easy guy. Why, Steve Packard, you you're a tomfool!" "Thanks," said Steve dryly. "I've heard that before." "An' you'll hear it again, by the Lord! In ten languages if you'll find men talkin' that many lingos.

I hope you will be good honourable young gentlemen, and obey that good lady, your Mama; and also I hope you will learn your lessons, as a sight of learning is a good thing, tho' I don't rightly know who speaks them lingos as Madame talks.
