How the Count Mirabel did laugh at those poor devils who wake only to moralise over their own folly with broken spirits and aching heads!
"Pshaw! man, don't moralise. This girl is my heart's choice. Please Heaven I may return to console her for present sorrow. But I can't wait. Help me: I can trust you. See Mariquita safely back to her home, and then join us on board." "I shall be taken up as a deserter." "Nonsense! I will see to that with the adjutant. We do not sail for two hours at least; you will have plenty of time."
I There, boys!" he cried suddenly; "I am not in the vein to moralise in this way, so I must speak plainly. I am ashamed of you, and, occupying as I do toward you the temporary position of parent, I honestly declare that if I did my duty by you, I should get a cane or a rod, and flog you all severely, but " "May I come in?" said a pleasant voice, and the door was slightly opened.

I was too young at the time of my first voyage to moralise in this philosophic manner; but for all that I had imbibed a thorough disgust for the slave-trade, as, indeed, most of my countrymen had done.
"So quite too awfully kind of you that I really don't know what to say" there was a marked recall, in the manner of this speech, of the sweetness of his mother's droop and the tenderness of her wail.
