"Uds daggers!" thundered Sir Hokus so suddenly that Dorothy jumped. "I am a knight!" Seeing her startled expression, he controlled himself. "I was a knight," he continued brokenly. "Long centuries ago, mounted on my goodly steed, I fared from my father's castle to offer my sword to a mighty king. His name?" Sir Hokus tapped his forehead uncertainly. "Go to, I have forgot."
Uds life, now I thinke on't, amongst the Pleasures of Mariage, this is none of the least, when one sees their children feed well, and grow up healthfully and merrily; and their stomacks in a morning are as soon open as their eys; then at noons they can claw it away at a good dish, as well as persons of full growth and years; and about four of the clock their appetites are again prepared for an afternoons lunchion; insomuch that they can eat you into poverty, without making their teeth bleed.
"And seek him near and fa hah har," mumbled Sir Hokus with a very troubled light in his kindly blue eyes. "And seek him near and far." "Fah har har! I should say it was," said the Cowardly Lion bitterly. "But you needn't sing it." "No, I s'pose not. Uds helmets and hauberks! I s'pose not!"
The crowd parted. Hobbling toward the throne came the ugly little Gheewizard of the Silver Island holding a large silver vase high above his head, and after him ! When Sir Hokus caught a glimpse of what came after, he leaped clean over the Comfortable Camel. "Uds daggers!" roared the Knight. "At last!" He rushed forward violently.
"Let them call it what they will," said Michael Lambourne, "it is the commodity we must carry through the world with us. Uds daggers! I tell thee, man, mine own stock of assurance was too small to trade upon.
For before the Shop is fully furnisht, you will see what there will be wanting to fill all the corners and places with commodities that must be sold by length of time, and to stand out the trust; and also with patience and meekness expect the coming of mony from slow and bad paymasters: therefore it begins to be time to speak of the promised Portion. Uds bud, what a racket is here now!
Then addressing the lady, in a tone betwixt entreaty and command, he added, "Uds precious! madam, what make you here out of bounds? Retire retire there is life and death in this matter. And you, friend, whoever you may be, leave this house out with you, before my dagger's hilt and your costard become acquainted. Draw, Mike, and rid us of the knave!"
"Uds daggers!" wheezed the Knight. Two large bushes were running down the path, and right in front of Dorothy the larger caught the smaller and began pulling out its leaves. "Leave off! Leave off!" screamed the little bush. "That's what I'm doing," said the big bush savagely. "There won't be a leaf on when I get through with you."
Sir Hokus, though still spluttering, was beginning to revive. "Yon noble bheast shall be knighted. Uds daggers! That's the shecond time he's shaved my life!" Rising unsteadily, he tottered over to the Lion and struck him a sharp blow on the shoulder.
Uds life, how busie the Wet and Dry-Nurses are with dressing the Babe neatly. Now Father, look once upon your Child! O pretty thing! O sweet-fac'd dainty darling! 'tis Father's own picture! Well what would not one undergo to be the Mother of so fine an Angel!
