"By the bye," he continued, pouring out his chocolate into the dish, "I sent a damned rake of a parson out there some years gone. Handsome devil, too. Never seen his match with the women, egad. 'Od's fish " he leered. And then added with an oath and a nod and a vile remark: "Married three times to my knowledge. Carried off dozen or so more. Some of 'em for me. Many a good night I've had with him.
"I am but just back from Kent to learn of it, and looked to find you in bed." "Why, no, sir, I am not worried. I fought a duel in my own day, over a lass, it was." This time Grafton's smile was not forced. "Over a lass, was it?" he asked, and added in a tone of relief, "and how do you, nephew?" Mr. Carvel saved me from replying. "'Od's life!" he cried; "no, I did not say this was over a lass.
"I must know how Harry does and make sure that he has the best there is for him. Surgery and friends he will need both, sound and sure." "Be satisfied. I shall well provide him." Captain McBean shook his head. "Damn your infernal impudence." Colonel Boyce's temper gave way. "Od's life, sir, this is infamous. You put upon me that I would mishandle my own son as he lies wounded and near death!
"'Od's life, Richard!" cried Charles, "he has a Jew nose; by all the seven tribes I bid you 'ware of him." "You have but to ride him with a gold bit, Richard," said Comyn, "and he is a kitten, I'll warrant." At that moment Pollux began to rear and kick, so that it took both the 'ostlers to hold him. "Show him a sovereign," suggested Fox. "How do you feel, Richard?"
There was a metallic ring in the duke's voice as he spoke. "I have heard, Mr. Carvel, that you can ride any mount offered you." "Od's, and so he can!" cried Jack. "I'll take oath on that." "I will lay you an hundred guineas, my Lord," says his Grace, very off-hand, "that Mr. Carvel does not sit Baltimore's Pollux above twenty minutes." "Done!" says Jack, before I could draw breath.
This is my court train, snatching a tablecloth that bung on a hush near by, and pinning it to her waist in the twinkling of an eye, 'this my farthingale, dangling her sun-bonnet from her belt, 'this my sceptre, seizing a Japanese umbrella, 'this my crown, inverting a bright tin plate upon her curly head. The Royal Feet must not be wet. "Go round the puddle? Prit, me Lud, 'Od's body! Forsooth!
"Fie, don't be haughty. I bear no malice." "Egad, sir, that's kind in you," Harry sneered and pushed on. Colonel Boyce linked arms with him. "Why, what's the matter? You went off with the honours. Od's heart, you left us like a pair of whipped dogs." "You've to thank yourself for that, sir. Not me." "No, zounds, you did very well. I profess I was proud of you, Harry." "Then I have to envy you."
Manners. "Save for a favour I have to ask you, doctor," I cried. "'Od's bodkins! Already, sir? And what may that be?" "That you will allow me to see Miss Manners." He shook with laughter, and then winked at me very roguishly. "Oh!" says he, "and faith, I should be worse than cruel. First she comes imploring me to see you, and so prettily that a man of oak could not refuse her.
"'Od's, you may thank your own devilish thick head," said my Lord Comyn. "I should never have bothered my own about you were it not for her.

"'Od's life, Richard!" cried Charles, "he has a Jew nose; by all the seven tribes I bid you 'ware of him." "You have but to ride him with a gold bit, Richard," said Comyn, "and he is a kitten, I'll warrant." At that moment Pollux began to rear and kick, so that it took both the 'ostlers to hold him. "Show him a sovereign," suggested Fox. "How do you feel, Richard?"
