They first taught us the great principle of the division of labour, to which we owe, at this moment, that England is what she is, instead of being covered with a horde of peasants, each making and producing everything for himself, and starving each upon his rood of ground.
Decidedly, the beginning of Act Second proves Andronic is no fool, for he advises Honorius to flee that creature, and what better advice in those matters is there than that of retreating? Decidedly, too, the virtuous Doge is worth having, really a Middle-Age electric telegraph, for he gives all about him such a dose of news as in this day would sell every penny-paper printed: and such bad news!
A little grimly he perceived that this had been his last despairing fling before the paralyzed contentment of middle-age. Well, and he grinned impishly, "it was one doggone good party while it lasted!" And how much was the operation going to cost? "I ought to have fought that out with Dilling.

"Oh, he does," said Mr Bos, "well, the next time I meet him at Corwen I'll crack his head for saying so. Mal-practices he had better look at his own, for he is a pig-jobber too. Written a book has he? then I suppose he has been left a legacy, and gone to school after middle-age, for when I last saw him, which is four years ago, he could neither read nor write."
