'I've only got to say this here, said Sam, stopping short, 'that if I was the properiator o' the Markis o' Granby, and that 'ere Stiggins came and made toast in my bar, I'd 'What? interposed Mr. Weller, with great anxiety. 'What? 'Pison his rum-and-water, said Sam. 'No! said Mr. Weller, shaking his son eagerly by the hand, 'would you raly, Sammy-would you, though? 'I would, said Sam.
At this communication, the truth of which appeared confirmed by the woman's behaviour, all the company started from their chairs. "Gemmen, I dare say you all very sorry; you be more sorry by-and-by. Now I tell all company, all drink the pison water because I not like die on the jibbit, I drink de pison water Gemmen your dinner all pison, and you all pisoned.
The name, however, of this channel is not the only means we have of identifying it. The Scripture says that the Pison compasses the land of Havilah. One we may call the Cushite Havilah, the other the Joktanite Havilah. The dwelling-place of the brother of Nimrod is not mentioned, but it is stated that the Joktanite Havilah dwelt in "Mesha."
At the Fancy, we saw "Harlequin Hamlet, or Daddy's Ghost and Nunky's Pison," which is all very well but, gentlemen, if you don't respect Shakspeare, to whom will you be civil? The palace and ramparts of Elsinore by moon and snowlight is one of Loutherbourg's finest efforts.
"You're a friend o' Joe Clark's, and for all I know he may ha' paid you to pison it." "I wouldn't do such a thing," ses Bill. "You ought to know me better than that." "All right," ses George Barstow; "you eat it then, and I'll give you two shillings in stead o' one. You can easy mix some more." "Not me," ses Bill Chambers, making a face.
"Be not afraid," he said, observing their alarm, "I come not to summon you to death, but to ask you, doctor, to come and see the Queen she is ill." "Oh! massa, pison her! Do, massa! Nobody would call it murder," said the negro, with fervent entreaty. Paying no attention to this advice, Mark followed the Secretary, and the bolts were again drawn on his friends.
Schink, an old German, is the only one who is not a bigot. Have you ever written on Palestine? I wondered you never followed up your visit to Harar; that is a place of great interest. My idea is that the Pison is the Blue Nile, and that the sons of Joktan were at Harar, Abyssinia, Godjam; but it is not well supported.
"Club together and buy at the apothecaries a hundred dollars worth of pison; fix it in scraps of meat, and scatter it through and through the woods; and if it don't make the animals scarce, I'll quit a guessin'. Then git up a hunt for the birds a univarsal hunt, and have judges and give premiums to them that count the most game; continue the hunt a week or fortnight for two or three years runnin', and the birds won't pester us much after that."
Great difficulty was encountered by these speculators to reconcile the allotted place with the description given in Genesis of the garden of Eden; particularly of the great fountain which watered it, and which afterwards divided itself into four rivers, the Pison or Phison, the Gihon, the Euphrates, and the Hiddekel.
"Bring the other on deck for me." The mate complied, wonderingly, and, laden with prime old Jamaica, ascended the steps. "What's this?" inquired the skipper, crossing over to Dick, and holding out a bottle. "Pison, sir," said Dick promptly. "Have a drop," said the skipper jovially. "Not for twenty pounds," said the old man, with a look of horror.
