"That affair outside," he observed, "will take care of itself, but here's a little orphan child that gets lonesome without company." Annixter began ladling the punch, filling the glasses. Osterman proposed a toast to Quien Sabe and the Biggest Barn. Their elbows crooked in silence. Old Broderson set down his glass, wiping his long beard and remarking: "That that certainly is very very agreeable.
While they were thus occupied, they noticed that the Papal soldiers whispered much together but this gave rise to no suspicion on their part. One by one the soldiers strolled out, and the landlord betook himself to the kitchen. The punch was duly made, and Sir Henry, leaving the room, paced thoughtfully in front of the inn.
"And you have ridden under a severe night, along a naked road, a distance of fourteen miles?" "I have, sir." "And you feel your mind aisy, and your conscience at rest?" "I can say so with truth, thank God," replied the curate. "Well, then, in that case," proceeded the kind-hearted priest, "I think you had better take a tumbler of punch: it will comfort you, and make you sleep like a top."
The beautiful bas-reliefs that used to represent the occasions have disappeared, but their subjects are tenderly cherished. If the Corporation must pull down something, let them destroy the recently-erected Mansion House! but spare, oh spare, the Griffin! The Palace, Brixton. DEAR MR. PUNCH, It is time for a protest! Instead of the picturesque iron roof, we are to have some abomination in stone!
Whilst yet the organ was playing, there appeared two men, one of them carrying a big drum, the other hidden under a Punch and Judy show. Of a sudden there sounded a shrill note, high above the organ, a fluting from the bottom to the top of the gamut, the immemorial summons to children, the overture to the primitive drama.
"I say," said Punch, slowly turning his head from side to side, "I suppose you can't understand plain English, can you?" The girl's voice sounded very pleasant, as she laughingly replied. "Ah," said Punch, "and I can't understand plain Spanish. But I know what you mean, and I will try to eat. 'Tis good. Give us a bit more."
He'd give him a little punch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut see him turn one summerset, or may be a couple, if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat. He got him up so in the matter of catching flies, and kept him in practice so constant, that he'd nail a fly every time as far as he could see him.
One half-holiday, when the schoolboys were playing on the green, he walked up deliberately to his conqueror and challenged him to a return engagement. The boys crowded around them. "Is it another batin' ye'd be afther havin', ye beggar-man's son?" said the enemy. O'Connell's reply was a well-timed punch on that youth's jaw, and the second battle was on.
Encountering the footman in the passage, "John," said he, "take supper into your master's room, and make us some punch, will you, stiffish!" "Mr. Caxton, how on earth did you ever come to marry?" asked Mr. Squills, abruptly, with his feet on the hob, while stirring up his punch. That was a home question, which many men might reasonably resent; but my father scarcely knew what resentment was.
"I was talking to myself, that's all." "The point is, Am I, or am I not, an objic of derision?" "If you don't drive on this moment, I'll step around and punch your head." "Tha's all right. Tha's right as ninepence. It's not much I arsk only to have things clear." He drove on.
