Lavinia whispered to Gay. "Anything you like, my child, so long as you acquit yourself to Dr. Pepusch's satisfaction." "But I would love to have your choice too. What of 'My Lodging is on the Cold Ground? My music master told me this was the song that made King Charles fall in love with Mistress Moll Davies. So I learned it." "Odso. Of course you did. Then let old Pepusch look out.
"Odso! courteous knight," said the baron, "is this the return you make for my beef and canary, when you kissed my daughter's hand in token of contrition for your intermeddling at her wedding? Heart, I am glad to see she has given you a bloody coxcomb. Slice him down, Mawd! slice him down, and fling him into the river."
Where have you been?" Mr. Hadley bent his sardonic brows. "To gossip with Alison." "Odso, I guessed you would turn traitor." "No. I haven't turned at all, Mr. Hadley." "She has declared war on us. Your dear father fizzes and fumes like a grenade all day. And you go gossip with her. It's flat treason, miss. Come, did you tell Sir John you were going?" "No. But he would guess.
"I think you are answered, sir," said he; "and I hope that like Fletcher there, who shared your doubts, you will come to agree that since we have set our hands to the plough we must go forward." "I have said that which I had it on my conscience to say. Your Grace may have found me over-ready with my counsel; at least you shall find me no less ready with my sword." "Odso! That is better."
"These are my lodgings in Martin's Lane, Harry, and you are welcome. But what have you to do in town? Young husbands should not be night walkers." Harry stared at him for a moment. "I thought you knew everything," he said. Then, beginning to scramble up, he became aware that his clothes were all undone coat, shirt, even breeches. "Odso, why were you stripping me?" "I found you so.
"I wonder if my lady knows all we can tell her. It might have made her hypochondriac." "Hip who? Odso, I am hipped myself." My lady came. She had so much flowing drapery about her that she seemed all robes. She moved very slowly, she was bowed, and she leaned upon the shoulder of Arabella. With care she deposited herself in the big chair.
"Prithee, William," says Mr. Hadley, "is Mr. Boyce in the house?" "Mr. Boyce, sir, is gone walking." Mr. Hadley shrugged. "Odso, away with you," Sir John waved the man off. "Let my lady know we are here." The butler coughed. "My lady is in bed, Sir John." "What, still?" quoth Sir John, for it was close upon noon. "Hath been afoot, Sir John. But took to her bed half an hour since." "What, what?
You mean the old fellow took Geoffrey off to leave the young fellow a clear field with Ally Lambourne? Odso, that's devilish deep, ain't it? But we can set the young fellow packing, my lad. We " "Sir John!" my lady's voice rose higher yet. "Coming, ma'am, coming. Od burn my heart and soul!" That last invocation was not directed at her but an invading tumult.
"Do you bite your thumb at me, my lord? No, sir, says he, but I bite my thumb. Odso, I bite my thumb." "Be silent, sirrah," Sunderland cried. The door opened. "Announce me," says a placid voice, and the secretary cried out in a hurry: "His Grace the Duke of Marlborough." Harry went on laughing. The contrast of Marlborough's assured calm and the agitation of the others was too impressive.
I of Farquhar's Comedy, where Archer says to Mrs. Sullen: 'I can't at this distance, Madam, distinguish the figures of the embroidery. This passage is copied by Goldsmith in She Stoops to Conquer, act iii., where Marlow says to Miss Hardcastle: 'Odso! then you must shew me your embroidery.
