And now it is you begging to see her. Had your eyes been opened, sir, you might have had many a glimpse of Miss Dolly these three weeks past." "What! She has been watching with me?" I asked, in a rapture not to be expressed. "'Od's, but those are secrets. And the medical profession is close-mouthed, Mr. Carvel. So you want to see her? No," cries he, "'tis not needful to swear it on the Evangels.
I stood over him till he chose to sit erect, which he presently did, rubbing his poll and looking at me with an air of mingled bewilderment and fear. "This is scurvy usage to give a shipmate in distress," said he. "'Od's life, man! I had thought there was some sense of humour in you. Your hand, Mr. Rodney; I feel dazed."
"'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. Had it not been for her happiness do you imagine I would have picked you out of that crew of half-dead pirates in the Texel fort?" I must needs brush my cheek, then, with the sleeve of my night-rail.
Ah! it would be worth stimulating our passions if it were only for the pleasure of remembering their effect; and all violent excitement should be indulged less for present joy than for future retrospection. My uncle's step was the first thing which intruded on my solitude. "Od's fish, my boy," said he, crying like a child, "this is fine work, 'Gad, so it is.
I warned him more than once for getting young horses into a fret, and I'm willing to lay a ten-pound note that he angered Pollux. 'Od's life! He is a vicious beast. So was his father, Culloden, before him. But here's luck to you, sir!" says Mr. Astley, tipping his glass; "having seen you ride, egad! I have put all the money I can afford in your favour."
And so, on the third of May, Noel and I, drifting about the town, heard many a wide-mouthed lout let go his joke and his laugh, and then move to the next group, proud of his wit and happy, to work it off again: "'Od's blood, the sow has littered five times, and five times has made a mess of it!"
Honest George Etherege and I, we were the making of you! and when you come to be a great man, and are asked what made you so, you shall say, 'My uncle's play; 'Gad, you shall. Faith, boy, never smile! Od's fish, I'll tell you a story as /a propos/ to the present occasion as if it had been made on purpose.
'Od's Gemini! young man, if you had but seen her. Then all of a sudden her lady wanted her to get some flowers, and she had only time to throw on her cardinal and run for them." "Then she is in the garden?" "By the Fairy Ring, I take it; for there the best flowers grow."
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 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?"
