And how gravely Lovett bowed to him, with his hat off, when it was all over, and returned him his watch and ten guineas, it was worth the sacrifice!" "And the next was an old maid of quality," said Ned, "as lean as a lawyer. Don't you remember how she curvetted?" "To be sure," said Tomlinson; "and you very wittily called her a hop-pole!" "How delighted she was with the captain's suavity!
About the time Mauleverer received this curious packet, several anecdotes of a similar nature appeared in the public journals; and it seemed that Lovett had acted upon a general principle of restitution, not always, it must be allowed, the offspring of a robber's repentance.
Up and to my chamber to do some business there, and then to the office, where a while, and then by agreement to the Excise Office, where I waited all the morning for the Cofferer and Sir St. Foxe's coming, but they did not, so I and the Commissioners lost their labour and expectation of doing the business we intended.

"Petticoats, to be sure," quoth Ben, eating an apple; and it was heads! "Damme, you've lost!" cried the yeoman, rubbing his rough hands with glee.
