The cheek of the archbishop flushed with proud pleasure; he bowed his head, and Edward, ere he could answer, went on: "Warwick is already so high that, pardie, I have no other step to give him, save my throne itself, and, God's truth, I would rather be Lord Warwick than King of England!

I thought, pardie, of the lurid verses written by young men who, in real life, know no haunt more lurid than a literary public-house. It was, for me, merely a problem how I could best avoid 'sensations, 'pulsations, and 'exquisite moments' that were not purely intellectual. I would not attempt to combine both kinds, as Pater seemed to fancy a man might.
Lord Vernon is no more ill than I. It is useless to deny it I have that here which proves it written with his own hand yes, pardie, written in my presence!" and with trembling fingers he took from his pocketbook a folded slip of paper. "Indeed?" said Collins, with mild curiosity. "This is truly wonderful," and he held out his hand.

The count cast a look upon the queen, who was so virtuous and so beautiful that at her great beauty he was all abashed, and answered her, 'By my faith, madame, my heart and my body and all my land is at your command, and there is nothing which to please you I would not readily do; and against you or yours, please God, I will never go. Thereupon he went his way full pensively, and often there came back to his remembrance the queen's soft glance and lovely countenance.
You see the land is a mile from us; this coast has no shoals. The captain told us to stand close in, before we hove to or called him. Pardie! Antoine, how the little witch has travelled in my watch! Here we are, within a musket's range from the heights, yet there has been no wind." "Pardon, mon lieutenant I do not like that sound of the surf; it is too near for the shore.

"Such was the object of my question," said I, calmly, and determining not to notice the manner he had assumed. "Parbleu!" exclaimed he, "that is very different.
