"And now imagine, after his soliloquy, the landlord to make his appearance in order to dun him for the reckoning: "'Not with that face, so servile and so gay, That welcomes every stranger that can pay: With sulky eye he smoked the patient man, hen pull'd his breeches tight, and thus began, etc. "All this is taken, you see, from nature.
He'll be wanting his dinner; I only wish he may get it. "`Little Jack Horner sat in a corner, Eating his Christmas pie; He put in his thumb and pull'd out a plum, And cried, What a good boy am I! "`Good boy am I! good-for-nothing brat, just like his father. Oh, dear! if I could but get rid of him!
It must be allow'd, these Crolians were Cunning People, thus to wheedle in these High Flying Solunarians to break the Neck of their dear Project. But upon the whole, for ought I cou'd see, whether it went one way or t'other, all the Nation esteem'd the other People Fools Fools of the most extraordinary Size in all the Moon, for either way they pull'd down what they had been many Years a Building.
Clearly, he was a man of few words; for, returning, he merely pull'd out his sword, and waited for the end of my tale. The girl, also, did not interrupt me, but listen'd in silence. As I ceas'd, she said "Is this all you know?" "No," answer'd I, "it is not. But the rest I promise to tell you if we escape from this place alive. Will this content you?" She turn'd to the servant, who nodded.
They made Crowns perfect Foot-balls, set up what Kings they would, and pull'd down such as they did not like, Ratitione Voluntas, right or wrong, as they thought best, of which some Examples shall be given by and by.
Its true, we doe not see the houses of a whole Town pull'd down purposely to re build them of another fashion; and to make the streets the fairer; But we often see, that divers pull their own down to set them up again, and that even sometimes they are forc'd thereunto, when they are in danger to fall of themselves, and that their foundations are not sure.
There were two other circumstances, which entangled this mystery; the one was, he told every woman what he had to say in her ear, and in a way which had much more the air of a secret than a petition; the other was, it was always successful. He never stopp'd a woman, but she pull'd out her purse, and immediately gave him something. I could form no system to explain the phenomenon.
Near the Plantation, I saw a prodigious overgrown Pine-Tree, having not seen any of that Sort of Timber for above 125 Miles: They brought us 2 Cocks, and pull'd their larger Feathers off, never plucking the lesser, but singeing them off.
The corporal made his reverence; and though it is not so easy a matter as the world imagines, to pull off a lank Montero-cap with grace or a whit less difficult, in my conceptions, when a man is sitting squat upon the ground, to make a bow so teeming with respect as the corporal was wont; yet by suffering the palm of his right hand, which was towards his master, to slip backwards upon the grass, a little beyond his body, in order to allow it the greater sweep and by an unforced compression, at the same time, of his cap with the thumb and the two forefingers of his left, by which the diameter of the cap became reduced, so that it might be said, rather to be insensibly squeez'd than pull'd off with a flatus the corporal acquitted himself of both in a better manner than the posture of his affairs promised; and having hemmed twice, to find in what key his story would best go, and best suit his master's humour, he exchanged a single look of kindness with him, and set off thus.
'Tis therefore for want of being in this Engine, that we censure People, because they don't be knocking one another on the Head, like the People at the Bear-Garden; where, if they do not see the Blood run about, they always cry out, A Cheat; and the poor Fellows are fain to cut one another, that they may not be pull'd a pieces; where the Case is plain, they are bold for fear, and pull up Courage enough to Fight, because they are afraid of the People.
