"Hast drawn blood? Oh fie! thou ill-mannered Tib! Will you have a tuft from a beaver to stop the blood?" "Thanks, madam, no, it is a small scratch. I would, I would that I could face truer perils for this lady's sake!" "That I hope you will not, sir," said Richard, in a serious tone, which conveyed a meaning to the ears of the initiated, though Will Cavendish only laughed, and said,
She is a lovely, charming child of fourteen, as quick and nimble as a kid, with lips red as the coral which you wear on your fat pudding of a neck, with eyes which shine yet brighter than your nose, and with a figure so slender and graceful that she might have been carved out of one of your fingers. Yes, yes, I know Tib.
As he went outside and was passing the open window of the sitting-room, a cry brought him to a halt. "What is the matter, Aunt Tib?" he inquired quickly. Miss Brown held an open letter in her hand and looked fluttering and excited. "It was inside the paper, Frank," she explained. "Is it from the folks?" inquired Frank eagerly. "It is," assented his aunt "Father is well?" asked Frank breathlessly.
In the other sums he agrees with Plutarch, except as to the tribunes, who received 10,000 drachmæ, or one talent and 4000 drachmæ, or 40 minæ. On the value of the drachma, see Life of Tib. The real name Cyrus could not be unknown to Plutarch.

"Ye are still in your leading-strings, Norman," replied the Saxon, waxing good-humoured in his contempt. "We have an old saying and a wise one, 'All come from Adam except Tib the ploughman: but when Tib grows rich all call him "dear brother.""
But on the other hand, Tib pronounced that Stephen Birkenholt was already well skilled in chasing metal and the difficult art of restoring inlaid work, and he showed some black and silver armour, that was in hand for the King, which fully bore out his words. "And thou thinkst Kit can rule the lads!" said the alderman, scarce willingly. "One of them at least can rule himself," said Tibble.
The boys will care for this raree-show more than thou or I, Tib! We've seen enough of them in our day, though verily they say this is to surpass all that ever were beheld!"
Master Tiptoff showed a suspicious alacrity in undertaking the forwarding of his mother-in-law and her stuff. The faces of Master Headley and Tib Steelman were a sight, both having seen only too much of what the housewifery at Salisbury had been.
