But we had yet to witness the crowning sobering effect of a raging pestilence. The little schoolmarm, Alethea-Belle Buchanan, organised the women into a staff of nurses. Mrs. Dumble enrolled herself amongst the band. Did she take comfort in the thought that she was wiping out John Jacob Dumble's innumerable rogueries? Let us hope so.
Stanley soon had to experience the invariable troubles of African travellers. His two horses died within a few hours of each other, both, however, from disease of long standing, and not from the climate. Few men were better able to deal with the rogueries of the petty chiefs he met with than Mr Stanley.
He charged Oscar not to speak again to Ned, and not to inform any one of the facts he had learned about him, lest it might thwart the efforts of the police to detect his rogueries. On second thought, he concluded to take Oscar to the store with him that afternoon, to prevent the possibility of an interview between him and Ned. Oscar thus remained under the eye of his father through the day.
'Only come in, my Lord; I would never have spoken to you, but that I could not see you catching your death. 'I am coming: but what's the matter? Why avoid me, when you are the very man I most wished to see? 'I'm done for, said Tom. 'The fellows up there have saddled their rogueries on me, and I'm off to the States. 'What do you say? There, I am coming in.
The queen and the orange-girl joyed together in the healthiness of Rosalind; the king and the gamin laughed together at the rogueries of Scapin. The breadth of Shakespeare's appeal remains one of the most significant facts in the history of the drama.
I, and two others, escaped; they took to the road, and have, no doubt, been long since broken on the wheel. I, soft soul, would not commit another crime to gain my bread, for Clara was still at my heart with her soft eyes; so, limiting my rogueries to the theft of a beggar's rags, which I compensated him by leaving my galley attire instead, I begged my way to the town where I left Clara.
After visiting the yard, he went on board the Swallow in the dock, "where our navy chaplain preached a sad sermon, full of nonsense and false Latin; but prayed for the Right Honourable the principall officers." Again, he speaks of many rogueries practised.
I saw a review of it rather a satisfactory one I think in an August number of the 'Athenaeum. If you will look into 'Fraser's Magazine' for August, at an article entitled 'Rogueries of Tom Moore, you will be amused with a notice of the 'Edinburgh Review's' criticism in the text, and of yourself in a note.
They declared publicly that they would pay the old taxes to King, curate, and lord, but that they would pay no more, or hear a word of any other taxes or vexation. In the end it was found necessary to drop this tax upon baptism and marriages, to the great regret of the tax-gatherers, who, by all manner of vexations and rogueries, had enriched themselves cruelly.
Copies of the first edition have since been discovered and sold for enormous sums. The date is 1806. In a copy of The Looking Glass, another of Godwin's books, The King and Queen of Hearts is thus advertised, with a new quatrain, probably also from Lamb's pen: "Price 1s. Plain; or 15. 6ed. Coloured, The King and Queen of Hearts, With the Rogueries of the Knave who stole away the Queen's Pies.
