"Poh!" said Jorrocks, "did you ever know a Surrey fox not take to the hills? If he does not, I'll eat him without mint sauce," again harping on the quarter of lamb.

I only want a quarter to seven years old, and I sha'n't lose myself, I know. Emily. Well, we've got flowers enough, and now I'm tired and want to go home. Charles. I don't; but, if you are tired, we'll go and find our baskets. Emily.

Littlepage," interrupted Guert, making signs to me to be quiet "you may think the off-horse ten, but I should place him at about nine.

"Poh!" says he, "Poh! what an old Palamone we have here," threw down his staff and came towards me all smiles, his arms extended. "Admirable youth!" he cried heartily, "give me your hands. I love you dearly; we shall be fast friends, I can see. Kiss me, boy, kiss me." I should have resented this comedy of thunderstorms more hotly than I did if I had not believed the friar to be mad.
