'Hold your snout, or I'll shut it for you and make you remember, you sow, you trull! 'Come on then, come on, you destitute creature! 'I... destitute? 'Yes, you! You would have rotted in a ditch, the vermin would have eaten you up, if Tomek hadn't married you. 'I, destitute?
Simple, you will say; yes, but better than a fricassée of Faust, garnished with hags, imps, and blue flame; better, far better than a drawing-room set at the St James's, with an exhibition of passion by Mrs and Mr Kendal; better, a million times better than the cheap popularity of Wilson Barrett an elderly man posturing in a low-necked dress to some poor trull in the gallery; nor is there in the hall any affectation of language, nor that worn-out rhetoric which reminds you of a broken-winded barrel-organ playing a che la morte, bad enough in prose, but when set up in blank verse awful and shocking in its more than natural deformity but bright quips and cranks fresh from the back-yard of the slum where the linen is drying, or the "pub" where the unfortunate wife has just received a black eye that will last her a week.
'I think you've lost your wits, both the Prince and you', said she. 'Do you think I look fit to stand in the bride's place? look at me! Can any beggar's trull look worse than I? 'Well, the Prince said you were to go, and so go you must', said Hacon Grizzlebeard.
"I'd be madder yet to let you get away again. My way is yours." She halted, cheeks blazing, and looked at me for the first time. "I ask you not to persist," she said, " for my sake if not for yours. What an officer or a soldier says to a girl in this fort makes her a trull in the eyes of any man who sees. Do you so desire to brand me, Mr. Loskiel?"
In the meantime Dorrimore had sheathed his sword and stepping close to Vane in front of Sally Salisbury, he said, dropping his voice so that Sally should not hear: "Your friend's right. If we fight it should be over somebody better than a common trull. What say you to Lavinia Fenton?" Vane staggered as though Dorrimore had struck him. "Lavinia Fenton?" he faltered.
And who would have suspected so very fierce a wolf under so sheepish an outside? Body of God! You fooled us all, you and that white-faced trull." He said it through his teeth with such a concentration of rage in his tones that it was easy to guess where the sore rankled. I looked at him gravely. "Does it become you, sir, do you think, to gird at one who is your prisoner?"
It would have been difficult to kill the fatted calf for the return of the Samaritan, but Giardini contributed the fag end of a salmon, the trull paid for wine, Gambara produced some bread, Signora Giardini lent a cloth, and the unfortunates all supped together in the musician's garret.
Doubtless he hath given some trull or other tryst there and would not have me find him with her. Marry, it were fine eating for him with blind folk and I should be a right simpleton an I saw not his drift and if I believed him! But certes he shall not have his will; nay, though I abide there all day, needs must I see what traffic is this that he hath in hand to-day.
Then he was for stepping out into the open, and, giving flow to the rage and surging violence that followed, calling down the man who had dishonoured him and slaying him there under the eyes of that trull who had brought him to this shame. But he controlled the impulse, or else Satan controlled it for him. That way, whispered the Tempter, was too straight and simple. He must think.
I looked into his wickedly handsome face, and smiled coldly. "It is a warning which in my turn I will give to you, you jackal," said I, and watched the expression of his countenance grow set and frozen, the colour recede from it. "What do you mean?" he growled, touched to suspicion of my knowledge by the term I had employed. "What things has that trull dared to..." I cut in.
