"'Slife, man or mongrel or whatever you choose to call your twisted carcass," interrupted Roupall, angrily, "hold your jibber. I wonder Joan Cromwell did not seize upon you, and keep you as her chief ape, while you were making your courtly acquaintance. A pretty figure for courts, truly! ah! ah! ah!"
"You have worked your way in vastly well, egad, with your Whig committee meetings and speeches. And now he is on his back, and you have possession, you choose to cut me off. 'Slife, I know what will be coming next!" I pulled him into Mr. Swain's private room, where we would be free of the clerks. "Yes, I am master here," I replied, sadly enough, as he stood sullenly before me.
Carvel," said he, very coolly, very politely; "yours is the choice of the wager. And you reject it, the others must be called off." "Slife! I double it!" I said hotly, "provided the horse is alive, and will stand up." "Devilish well put, Richard!" Mr. Fox exclaimed, casting off his restraint.
Well, your News. News, Sir? I know of none, but of my Master's being this Morning Sir Tim. Ay, there it is behind Southampton House. Married this Morning. Sir Tim. How! Married! 'Slife, has he serv'd me so? Sham. The Boy is drunk Bellmour married! Yes, indeed, to the Lady Diana. Sir Tim. Diana! Mad, by Fortune; what Diana? Niece to the Lord Plotwell. Sir Tim.
'Slife! even in June one could not go open breasted in those regions of cold and catarrh, a very great misfortune, let me tell you, my Lord, if one's cambric happened to be of a very delicate and brilliant texture, and one wished to penetrate the inward folds of a lady's heart, by developing to the best advantage the exterior folds that covered his own."
If I win, I win all; if I lose, I lose naught. 'Slife, I have thrown many a main with Fate, but never one wherein the odds were more generous. Come, Kenneth, it is the only way, and we will attempt it if we can but move the bar." "You mean to leap?" gasped the lad. "Into the river. It is the only way." "O God, I dare not. It is a fearsome drop."
I dare make oath he has treated your son to a like instruction. 'Slife, sir, and he had his deserts, he would hang from a gibbet at the Town Gate." I raised up in bed to see the effect of this on my uncle. But however the wind veered, Grafton could steer a course. He got up and began pacing the room, and his agitation my grandfather took for indignation such as his own.

Then, as we sat talking in low tones, the door opened, and a hearty voice cried out: "Now where is this rebel, this traitor? They tell me one lies hid in this house. 'Slife, I must have at him!" "Mr. Fox!" I exclaimed. He took my hands in his, and stood regarding me.
"Nay, for there she stands-and her pretty lover by her side. 'Slife, what a coxcomb the lad's grown." And with that he hastened forward to kiss his niece, and congratulate Kenneth upon being restored to her.
'Slife! she was a saucy jade, and devilish pretty. Such a face! so Stavordale vowed, and such a neck! and such eyes! so innocent, so ravishingly innocent. But she knew cursed well George was after the bank deposit, and kept him galloping. And when he got a view, halloa, egad! she was stole away again, and no scent.
