Walk up, my lord, an' see Franko Breeches or no, my lord, breeches or no!" This sorry and meaningless jingle set the immediate crowd in a roar.
Bring her, and should you see the mad captain who behaves so oddly, favour him with a ride. He says he dreams his wife is here, and he will not reveal his name! Suppose it should be my own beloved husband! I am quite anxious. The Countess saw him go up to the palings and hold a communication with his friends Franko and Fred. One took the whip, and after mutual flourishes, drove away.
I've spent my income in four months, and now I 'm living on my curricle. I underlet it. It 's like trade it 's as bad as poor old Harrington, by Jove! But that isn't the worst, Franko! Jack dropped his voice: 'I believe I'm furiously loved by a poor country wench. 'Morals! was Franko's most encouraging reproof.

Franko looked naturally astonished at this amount of self-sacrifice. 'The Countess? he shrewdly suggested. 'I'd rather be my Polly's prince, Than yon great lady's errand-boy! Raikes burst into song. He stretched out his hand, as if to discard all the great ladies who were passing.
A further sign of immense depression in him was that instead of the creative, it was the critical faculty he exercised, and rather than reply to Franko in his form of speech, he scanned occasional lines and objected to particular phrases. He had clearly exchanged the sanguine for the bilious temperament, and was fast stranding on the rocky shores of prose.
'Two juveniles, not half so blest as I, do from the seat regard the festive scene o'er yon park palings. They are there, even Franko and Fred. I 'm afraid I promised to get them in at a later period of the day. Which sadly sore my conscience doth disturb! But what is to be done about the curricle, my Countess? 'Mr.
Being of that nature that when a pun was made he must perforce outstrip it, he fell into Franko's humour from time to time, but albeit aware that what he uttered was good, and by comparison transcendent, he refused to enjoy it.
