Half dead with cold and terror, the discomfited caricaturist stood shivering at his column, while his tormentor made unmercifully merry with him; twitting him with his amorous overtures, mocking his stammered prayers, and irreverently suggesting an appeal for aid to the beauty he so loved to delineate.
They had not half read them, and Colonel Button was all eagerness to see some articles concerning the campaign about which Riggs had been twitting him asking him whom he had subsidized at this late hour to rescue his reputation, etc.
So I fell into a slumber a pretty while; but in the morning before I arose, I heard two or three contending about some accounts, in which one laid fraud to the other's charge; the other instead of vindicating himself, fell to twitting him in the teeth, with something of the like kind: they grew so hot in words, that one threatened to turn the other out of doors, and drive him back through the river, and never suffer him to come into the house any more.

"It never is anything but instinct," he said, with quiet decision in his voice.
