I wouldn't wonder if he'd be glad to see ye rotted up with smallpox." "What kind of a man is Pinhorn?" "A whey-faced hypercrit an' a Tory. Licks the feet o' the British when they come here." Jack and Solomon lay for weeks in this dirty, noisome jail, where their treatment was well calculated to change opinions not deeply rooted in firm soil. They did not fear the smallpox, as both were immune.
The mouse ran round the room and vanished; the girl who had been sent to Paradise to keep in order the turbulent children of the foothills stepped down from her chair. "I'm scared to death of mice," she confessed. My brother Ajax scowled. "Fancy sending that whey-faced little coward here!" he whispered to me. "Have you taught school before?" I asked.
This brawny-beefed chairman hath married a fortune and a delicious girl, you dog, Miss Sophia Western, of Somerset, and is now in train, I doubt not, to beget as goodly a tribe of chuckle-headed boys and whey-faced wenches as you shall see round an old squire's tomb in a parish church.

"Your name, good Sir, your name?" Sir Francis demanded, taking out his tablets.
