"You are as clever as a conjurer," sobbed Patience; "but I wish you hadn't been right in this instance. However, comfort yourself. I'll die with you. We'll be carried to the grave in the same plague-cart." "That's cold comfort," returned Blaize, angrily. "I beg you'll never mention the plague-cart again.
