But come!" She had helplessly gloomed at the upper regions. "You leave him ?" "So long with Quint? Yes I don't mind that now."

But as to Ravenswood he has kept no terms with me, I'll keep none with him; if I CAN win this girl from him, I WILL win her." "Win her! 'sblood, you SHALL win her, point, quint, and quatorze, my king of trumps; you shall pique, repique, and capot him." "Prithee, stop thy gambling cant for one instant," said Bucklaw.
City Politics, a Comedy, 1683; of this already we have given some account. Sir Courtly Nice, or It Cannot be; dedicated to the duke of Ormond, of which we have given an account in the author's life. Darius King of Persia, a Tragedy; acted in 1688. For the plot, see Quint. Curt. lib. 3, 4, and 5.
