What an inestimable favour has not the young man slighted! What a chance of promotion had he not thrown away! Will Esmond, whose language was always rich in blasphemies, employed his very strongest curses in speaking of his cousin's behaviour, and expressed his delight that the confounded young Mohock was cutting his own throat.
When you are a mother yourself, and a great lady, perhaps I shall send you over from the plantation some day a little barbarian that is half Esmond half Mohock, and you will be kind to him for his father's sake, who was, after all, your kinsman; and whom you loved a little." "What folly you are talking, Harry," says Miss Beatrix, looking with her great eyes. "'Tis sober earnest," says Esmond.
Mohock! shrieks the sentimental author of Pamela; and all the ladies of his court cackle out an affrighted chorus." Looking back on the incident it seems matter for yet more Homeric laughter that Richardson should have called the resplendent genius of Fielding "low."
It is probable that his sister had guessed too accurately what the nature of his conversation wit Madame Bernstein had been. "And so," thinks he, "the end of my virtue is likely to be that the Mohock will fall a prey to others, and that there is no earthly use in my sparing him. 'Quem deus vult' what was that schoolmaster's adage? If I don't have him, somebody else will, that is clear.
"I!" said the amazed and Right Honorable Joseph Addison; "I kill Dick's child! I was godfather to the last." "And promised a cup and never sent it," Dick ejaculated. Joseph looked grave. "The child I mean is Sir Roger de Coverley, Knight and Baronet. What made ye kill him, ye savage Mohock?
"And be taken for a Mohock! No, no, sit down, rash youth, and tell me who keeps the house." "One Madge, an old woman as sour as vinegar, who snarled at me like a toothless cur when I once went there to find an old fowling-piece of my father's."
Apart from the exercise of his trade, he was a very Mohock for brutality. He would ill-treat his victims, whenever their drunkenness permitted the freedom, and he had no better gifts for the women who were kind to him than cruelty and neglect. One of his many imprisonments was the result of a monstrous ferocity.
When we had finished with Rodoski we went out of college and played pool, and then we came back and played cards. There was not much harm about the whole thing, and occasionally it was quite dull, but some of our dons had got hold of the idea that a Mohock must be a rowdy and riotous person. Mr.
Her stepmother and half-sister, who did not love her, he treated to all sorts of magnificent presents. "Had you not better get yourself arrested, Will?" my lord sardonically said to his brother. "Although you bit him in that affair of the horse, the Mohock will certainly take you out of pawn." It was then that Mr.
"Massa Harry say, wool you like any maw?" asked obedient Gumbo, bowing over the prostrate gentleman. "No, curse you, you black devil!" says Mr. Will, hitting up at the black object before him. You infernal Mohock! Why does not somebody kick him out of the place?" "Because nobody dares, Mr. Esmond," says Mr. Warrington, with great state, arranging his ruffles his ruffled ruffles.
