Pierre looked at him a moment idly, then said: "Such a tom-fool! And where's that grand leather belt of yours, eh, my monarch?" A laugh shook through Macavoy's beard. "For the weddin' it wint: buckled the two up wid it for better or worse an' purty they looked, they did, standin' there in me cinch, an' one hole left aw yis, Pierre." "And what do you give to Ida?"
I play the tom-fool. I drink ... I have sold and spilt the sacred ointment! I sit in a dive with vendable merchandise. While my wife ... she is a saint, and pure, my little dove! ...

I sat still, smoking away dreamily, but with a weather eye on him. He stood over me, rolled up his sleeves and contemplated me, then he turned and shouted to his man: "Hi, Plumbago! Come on and lend a hand with this cargo. No use wasting any time on this tom-fool injun." To say I was surprised, was to put it mildly, for I was sure a quarrel was about to be precipitated.

He flung it down, and ground his heel upon it with venomous intention.
So he went with them, and it was not long before they met a man who wore a cap, but had put it quite on one ear. Then the master said to him, "Gracefully, gracefully, don't stick your cap on one ear, you look just like a tom-fool!"
The Lord Proprietor thrust his torch close. "Oh, get out of my way this is work to-night, work for men! And you" catching sight of the Commandant "how much do you think you are helping us with this tom-fool noise?"
