I am convinced we might have kept Guadaloupe, if our negotiators had known how to have gone about it. His most faithful Majesty of Portugal is the best off of anybody in this, transaction, for he saves his kingdom by it, and has not laid out one moidore in defense of it. Spain, thank God, in some measure, 'paye les pots cassis'; for, besides St.
He laughed at our stories of the aid which my noble relatives had given me my aunt's coverlid, my Lady Castlewood's mouldy jelly, Lady Warrington's contemptuous treatment of us. But he wept many tears over the story of little Miles's moidore; and as for Sampson and Hagan, "I wow," says he, "dey shall have so much beer als ever dey can drink."

He passed his youth in contracted circumstances, which gave him early those parsimonious habits which in after-life never forsook him; so that, with one windfall or another, about the time I knew him he was master of four or five hundred thousand pounds; nor did he look, or walk, worth a moidore less. He lived in a gloomy house opposite the pump in Serjeant's-inn, Fleet-street.
Among our Farmer's papers I have found a list of the money that he took with him to Philadelphia on one occasion 6 joes, 67 half joes, 2 one-eighteenth joes, 3 doubloons, 1 pistole, 2 moidores, 1 half moidore, 2 double louis d'or, 3 single louis d'or, 80 guineas, 7 half guineas, besides silver and bank-notes.
For an entire fortnight there was neither night nor day, only one continuous revel, a sea of pleasure whose depths no man could sound. Then, when all joys were exhausted, that is, when the last moidore had slipped through their fingers, the pirates went back to their ships, rubbed their eyes, and looked about for more work.
"You know," says he, "cousin Harry gave me my little horse; and I can't help liking you, because you are so like Harry, and because they're always saying things of you at home, and it's a shame; and I have brought my whistle and coral that my godmamma Lady Suckling gave me, for your little boy; and if you're so poor, cousin George, here's my gold moidore, and it's worth ever so much, and it's no use to me, because I mayn't spend it, you know."
Here's plenty of money here's twenty-three five-guineas. Here's gold moidore from Virginia here no, not that that's keepsakes the girls gave me. Take everything everything. I go sell myself to-morrow morning; but here's plenty for to-night, master!" "God bless you, Gumbo!" Harry said, laying his hand on the lad's woolly head.
"By token," she smiled, "of a gold moidore that was paid for a loaf of bread." The new Governor appealed to his predecessor. "What is this, Colonel Spotswood, what is this?" he demanded, somewhat testily, of the open-mouthed gentleman in velvet. "Odso!" cried the latter. "'Tis the little maid of the sugar-tree! Marmaduke Haward's brown elf grown into the queen of all the fairies!"
The principles with which he had been seasoned in his youth served to render him more tractable and civilized when under his last misfortunes, unto which he fell with the two afore-mentioned malefactors; they being all indicted for assaulting one Mr. Francis Williams on the highway, and taking from him a silver watch value three pounds, two guineas and a moidore, on the 28th of February, 1728.
