Bertram, in complaisance, eat a morsel or two; and Dinmont, whose appetite was unabated either by wonder, apprehension, or the meal of the morning, made his usual figure as a trencherman.

"But a long fellow like me is a good trencherman, and can do his part with the wine-jar." "Only show me what you can do," cried Hadrian after him as Pollux hurried off.
Gone were the old days of fish and toast and boiled milk. Blenkiron squared his shoulders and showed himself a noble trencherman. 'A year ago, he told our host, 'I was the meanest kind of dyspeptic.
