Immediately the two came together; the shoulder of P. Sybarite in the paunch of Respectability, evoking a deep grunt of choleric surprise and bringing the gentleman to an abrupt standstill. Upon this, P. Sybarite's mouth relaxed; he smiled faintly, almost placatingly. "Well, old top!" he cried with malicious cordiality. "Who'd think to meet you here! What's the matter?
Mary and returned to the house, I was roused for a little from my stupor by the sight of Sir Richard among those assembled to hear Mr. Vetch read the will. A great wave of anger surged within me when I saw him sitting in my father's chair, his fat hands folded upon his paunch, and his bleared eyes rolling a quizzing glance round upon the little company.
No honey; of course, that was a disappointment, but there were lots of fat white grubs almost as good and Jack ate till his paunch looked like a little rubber balloon. "How is that?" chuckled Lan. "The laugh is on us," answered Bonamy, with a grimace. Jack was now growing into a sturdy cub, and he would follow Kellyan even as far as Bonamy's shack.
"Ave it your own way," he sang out. "Ole George ain't good enough for you, I see. I'll say good-day." The giant jerked his musket to his shoulder. "Come in!" he thundered. "Or I'll plug a hole through that great paunch o your'n." The fat man saw himself covered. He paddled back, grinning ghastly. "Avast there, Red Beard!" he tittered. "You're that asty. Can't you take a little joke?"
"Zounds, this is too much," exclaimed Bang, as he rose and kicked the poor fellow out again, with such vehemence, that his skull, encountering the paunch of our friend the Baron, who was entering from the street at that instant, capsized him outright, and away rolled his Excellency the General de Division, Commandant de L'Arrondissement, &c. &c. digging his spurs into poor Pegtop's transom, and sacring furiously, while the black servant roared as if he had been harpooned by the very devil.
As the belt was worn only at the hours of drill or parade, it followed that there were lapses of time wherein the paunch knew no such military trammel, and a side elevation of the battalion commander warranted the simile put in circulation by Lieutenant Blake: "The major looked as though he had swallowed a drum."
"A raw rat," the man of drugs was saying, "that is what it is ever my use to order for the plague a raw rat with its paunch cut open." "Might it not be broiled, most learned sir?" asked the tooth-drawer. "A raw rat sounds a most sorry and cheerless dish." "Not to be eaten," cried the physician, in high disdain. "Why should any man eat such a thing?"
Now it sent forth another shrill, piercing sound, and now, with both its hands, it patted and complacently stroked its ample paunch; dancing all the time with unremitting activity, and wagging its queer head at the astounded guests. "Who, what can it be?" cried all. The Misses Fitzloom shrieked, and the Santi seemed quite puzzled. "Who, what can it be?"
Ninny Moulin had a huge paunch and thin legs, so that the latter moved about at pleasure in the gaping mouths of his large top boots.
"You will excuse me, gentlemen," said Sir Midas, who hated scenes unless he had a trusted reporter with him, "but I think it is time for me to go upstairs and put on my Windsor uniform, which I find exceedingly convenient for these mixed assemblies." He withdrew, caressing his protuberant paunch with some dignity, as the two men glanced fiercely at each other.
