Why don't you go home and settle down and marry? and keep that phiz of yours out of the newspapers? Sometimes I think you're as crazy as a bug." "An opinion shared by many. Maybe I am. I dash in where lunatics fear to tread. Come on over to the Soufflet and have a drink with me." "I'm not drinking to-day," tersely. "There's too much ahead for me to do." "Going to start out to find her?
Look at Old Stony Phiz and then at the Old Man of the Mountain, and see if they are not as like as two twin brothers! In the midst of all this gallant array came an open barouche, drawn by four white horses; and in the barouche, with his massive head uncovered, sat the illustrious statesman, Old Stony Phiz himself.
He was one of those lads that grow everywhere in England, and at twelve or thirteen years of age look as much alike as goslings, a lad with light-brown hair, cheeks of cream and roses, full lips, indeterminate nose and eyebrows, a physiognomy in which it seems impossible to discern anything but the generic character to boyhood; as different as possible from poor Maggie's phiz, which Nature seemed to have moulded and colored with the most decided intention.
"Oh! gentlemen, what a capital phiz!" "Where where?" "There in the omnibus-box beneath Mdlle. de Cardoville's." "It's a Nuremburg nutcracker." "An ourang-outang!" "Did you ever see such round, staring eyes?" "And the nose!" "And the forehead!" "It's a caricature." "Order, order! the curtain rises." And, in fact, the curtain rose.
He's an old friend of the Pirate, don't make no mistake; neither you nor me will be any the worse for not seein' his grinnin' phiz no more. Thank your stars he've left you alone for the last part of the voyage, which I wonder at, all the same." Next day all was bustle on board in preparation for sailing. He went down to his cabin, and coming up a few minutes later, cried: "Where's that boy Burke?"
So accurate is the picture that speculation arises whether Phiz went specially to Bath to make his sketches; for he has caught in the most perfect way the whole tone of a Bath Assembly, and he could not have obtained this from descriptions by others. So, too, with this picture of the Circus in Mr. Winkle's escapade.
"Don't dare to argue; remember your place as a cobbler! Blockhead! You don't know how to make boots! I'll beat your ugly phiz to a jelly! Why have you come?" "For money." "What money? Be off! Come on Saturday! Boy, give him a cuff!"
I once heard it said of one of them, that the extravasated claret in his phiz might well remind one, as Falstaff says of Bardolph, of hell-fire. The next morning my landlady did me the honour to drink coffee with me, but helped me very sparingly to milk and sugar. It was Sunday, and I went with my landlord to a barber, on whose shop was written "Shaving for a penny."
"You don't go on smoking that thing till you have apologized for that grin you had on your phiz a moment ago." "I laugh when I please, and I smoke what I please," said Henderson, hotly, his face flaming as he realized that he was in for his first "row." That was how it began.
He swaggered into the breakfast-room and round the table to his place with an expression of ignorant contempt on his phiz, his snub nose in the air and his under lip out.
