Accident I call it, in compliance to a received mode of speaking but in no opposition to the opinion either of Acrites or Mythogeras in this matter; I know they were both prepossessed and fully persuaded of it and are so to this hour, That there was nothing of accident in the whole event but that the chesnut's taking that particular course, and in a manner of its own accord and then falling with all its heat directly into that one particular place, and no other was a real judgment upon Phutatorius for that filthy and obscene treatise de Concubinis retinendis, which Phutatorius had published about twenty years ago and was that identical week going to give the world a second edition of.
Was it my case, said Gastripheres, as the main thing is the oil and lamp-black, I should spread them thick upon a rag, and clap it on directly. That would make a very devil of it, replied Yorick. It falls out very luckily, replied Phutatorius, that the second edition of my treatise de Concubinis retinendis is at this instant in the press. You may take any leaf of it, said Eugenius no matter which.
It was well known that Yorick had never a good opinion of the treatise which Phutatorius had wrote de Concubinis retinendis, as a thing which he feared had done hurt in the world and 'twas easily found out, that there was a mystical meaning in Yorick's prank and that his chucking the chesnut hot into Phutatorius's... ..., was a sarcastical fling at his book the doctrines of which, they said, had enflamed many an honest man in the same place.
