"Now a plague on him who can take no hint," said the King, cutting short his apology. "Oddsfish, man, there are times when civility is the greatest impertinence in the world. Do thou follow Empson, and amuse thyself for a half-hour's space with the fairy's company, till we shall send for you."
"The young woman," he said, "had been long in attendance of the Countess of Derby. She was bereaved of the faculties of speech and hearing." "Oddsfish, man, and dances so well?" said the King. "Nay, all Gresham College shall never make me believe that."
In the twilight at the door there was no seeing who the new-comer was, but as he stepped forward the full light revealed him. It was Prince Charles. "Stir not, ladies, on your allegiance!" he said gaily. I rose, bowed him into my chair, and stood behind him. "Oddsfish, as my great uncle used to say, I've come to save your life, Master Wheatman!"
Did not east country, and south country, and west country, and Highlands, caw, croak, and shriek about me, as the deep guttural, the broad drawl, and the high sharp yelp predominated by turns? Oddsfish, man, have I not been speeched at by their orators, addressed by their senators, rebuked by their kirkmen? "May it please your Majesty, I begun by saying I was no judge of the Scottish language."
Cheer up, my girl. What, in the devil's name, has changed thee at once from a Nymph to a Niobe?

But when he saw Markham Everard, after one look of unspeakable anguish towards Alice, turning his back to depart, he broke out into his familiar ejaculation, "Oddsfish! this must not be."
"On my honour, I believe so, Alice," replied the King: "But oddsfish! my girl, let Majesty sleep for the present it concerns my safety, as I told your brother lately Call me sir, then, which belongs alike to king, peer, knight, and gentleman or rather let me be wild Louis Kerneguy again."

"Cards! Pooh!
"Body of me the old Worcester man?" said the King. "Oddsfish, I remember him well some harm has happened to him, I think Is he not dead, or very sick at least?" "Ill at ease, and it please your Majesty, but not ill in health. He has been imprisoned on account of an alleged accession to this Plot."
'With every symptom of a knave complete, If he be honest, he's a devilish cheat." "He is well known to many, sire," replied Ormond; "and that he walks in this area with his neck safe, and his limbs unshackled, is an instance, amongst many, that we live under the sway of the most merciful Prince of Europe." "Oddsfish! who is the man, my Lord Duke?" said the King.
