Страница 258 - Cheapside shall my palfrey go to grass: and when I am king, as king I will be,— ALL God save your majesty! CADE I thank you, good people: there shall be no money; all shall eat and drink on my score; and I will apparel them all in one livery, that they may agree like brothers and worship me their lord.
Страница 124 - Peerage at random, pick a suppositib-us author out of one page of it, and fix the imaginary characters upon some of the rest ; mix it all up with quantum suff. of puff, and the book is in a second edition before ninety-nine readers out of a hundred have found out the one is as little likely to have written, as the others to have done what is attributed to them.' " ' How then can Lady Boreton's assistance be of any consequence in a pursuit which seems as free as air ?
Страница 124 - Let a gentleman/^ man, with a gentleman/// style, take of foolscap paper a few quires; stuff them well with high-sounding titles— dukes and duchesses, lords and ladies, ad libitum. Then open the Peerage at random, pick a...

Not that they are, generally speaking, very formidable shots — they often bring down a different bird from the one they aimed at, and sometimes shut their eyes and blaze away at the whole...

He waited near the top of the hill to see them pass. Lord Latimer's was well in front; and the jockey seemed comfortable about him. As Germain scampered across in a fearful crowd of stumbling horses and tumbling riders, he could not keep his eye constantly fixed upon the race, but at the last corner, Lord Latimer's yellow jacket...
Страница 125 - Some small beer, pray," added Fitzalbert, turning round to the servant, and speaking in a peculiarly decided tone of voice. " So sensitive a soul must be much shocked at much he hears and sees amongst great people "en domestique," as he calls it ; by which, don't imagine he means

From this turning to the concerns of his friend, Oakley continued — " I can assure you, my dear Germain, that neither this important change in my own fortune, nor the agitation of the unexpected event which caused it, has prevented me from reflecting much and seriously on your future prospects, such as I think I am able to foresee them, from the insight that long intimacy has given me into your disposition,...

" Oh ! here at least they have an opportunity of observing the cut of one's coat, and the colour of one's hair.
