His lordship has been heard to say he had been taken to a monsus queeah place, queeah set of folks, in a tap somewhere, though he went away quite delighted with Tom's affability, but he never came again. He could not find the place, probably. You might pass the Haunt in the daytime, and not know it in the least. Nokes and all."
Suppose, for example, that a person well read in English poetry but unacquainted with Browning's style were earnestly invited to consider the following verse: "Hobbs hints blue straight he turtle eats. Nobbs prints blue claret crowns his cup. Nokes outdares Stokes in azure feats Both gorge. Who fished the murex up? What porridge had John Keats?"
Nokes! What a mistake it was in him to drive all thoughts of matrimony off to the last, and then to come to Paris of all places to do it! What a curious thing is sympathy! He met her in the tidal train, and they were taken ill together on board the steamboat; that's how it came about. Poor old soul!
But this last assertion was already made: we did not make it by adding the predicate, “died yesterday.” Suppose, however, that the words had been, John Nokes and the mayor of the town, they would have formed two names instead of one.
Why not stand at once upon your merits, which I am sure are quite sufficient? Of course it would be a little come-down for me just at first; but that's no matter. Susan. It will be much easier to do that if they think I am a born lady. Appearances do such a deal in the world. Nokes. Yes, my dear, I've noticed that in the wine-trade.
In describing an actor or actress he had few equals witness his skilful portrait of Nokes, and his admirably graphic vignette of Mrs. Verbruggen as that "finish'd Impertinent," Melantha, in Dryden's Marriage a-la-Mode. The concluding paper in the collected edition of the Champion, published in 1741, is dated June 19, 1740.
Smith Antonio, a Merchant, young and rich. Friend to Carlos, in love with Clara, but promis'd to Isabella, Mr. Wiltshire Francisco, old and rich, Husband to Julia, and Father to Isabella, Mr. Nokes. Baltazer, Father to Julia and Clara, Mr. Bright. Sebastian, Father to Antonio, Mr. Freeman. Guzman, Gentlemen to Carlos, Mr. Underhill. Guiliom, a Chimney-Sweeper; the False Count, Mr. Lee.
The men had something to propose, and in their own way they would make the proposition before they left, and would make it probably to him. Boscobel intended to sleep at Boolabong, but Nokes had explained that it was his purpose to return that night to Medlicot's Mill. The proposition no doubt would be made soon a little after seven, when the day was preparing to give way suddenly to night.
Lor, sir, do pray be a little quiet, I am sure if any young woman was to see you in this state she must be uncommonly courageous to take charge of such a husband. Do, pray, tell me what has happened. Nokes. Nothing has happened. That's what I complain of. Just as I drove up to the Legation this letter was handed to me.
Nokes first walked off, sloping out from the veranda in a half-shy, half-cunning manner, looking nowhither, and saying a word to no one. Quickly after him Boscobel jumped up suddenly, hitched up his trowsers, and followed the first man. At about a similar interval Jerry passed out through the big room to the yard at the back, and from the yard to a shed that was used as a shambles.
