Pàgina 321 - Pope he leads a happy life, He fears not married care, nor strife; He drinks the best of Rhenish wine— I would the Pope's gay lot were mine. But then all happy's not his life, He has not maid, nor blooming wife; Nor child has he to raise his hope— I would not wish to be the Pope.
Pàgina 328 - As every fellow that was beat to-day was sure to come back to-morrow, with something better, either of his own or a friend's, I had matches booked for every day in the week — for I always made my little boy that rode, win by half a neck, or a nostril, and so we kept on day after day pocketing from ten to thirty pounds or thereabouts. " It was mighty pleasant while it lasted, for besides winning the money, I had my own fun laughing at the spoonies that never could book my bets fast enough. Young...
Pàgina 67 - ... without shoes or stockings, and himself proceeded to examine the wound, which was a more serious one than it at first appeared. After half an hour thus occupied, during which time roars of merriment and hearty peals of laughter burst upon us every time the door opened, from a distant part of the house, where his Reverence was entertaining his friends, and which, as often as they were heard by the doctor, seemed to produce in him sensations not unlike those that afflicted the "wedding guest
Pàgina 77 - Bloody end to the Pope ; and may the saints in heaven forgive me for saying it." " Again," called out the soldier ; " and no muttering." " Bloody end to the Pope," cried Father Luke in bitter desperation. " Bloody end to the Pope," echoed the Abbe. " Pass bloody end to the Pope, and good night," said the sentry, resuming his rounds, while a loud and uproarious peal of laughter behind, told the unlucky priests they were overheard by others, and that the story would be over the whole town in the morning....
Pàgina 37 - oh, sir, surely you did not appear on parade with that face?" And then he burst into a fit of the most uncontrollable laughter. Like lightning a horrid doubt shot across my mind. I sprang over to the dressing-glass, which had been replaced, and oh, horror of horrors!
Pàgina 34 - Desdemona was a rather unladylike fondness for snuff. But whatever little demerits our acting might have displayed, were speedily forgotten in a champagne supper. There I took the head of the table ; and, in the costume of the noble Moor, toasted, made speeches, returned thanks, and sang songs, till I might have exclaimed with Othello himself,
Pàgina 35 - ... as he passed down. The Colonel and the officers were standing in a group, but not conversing. The anger of the commanding officer appeared still to continue, and there was a dead silence maintained on both sides. To reach the spot where they stood I had to pass along part of the line. In doing so, how shall I convey my amazement at the faces that met me ! A general titter ran along the entire rank, which not even their fears for consequences seemed able to repress — for an effort on the part...
Pàgina 37 - ... before the glass, grinning from ear to ear, I felt very little surprise that my joining in the laughter of my brother officers, a short time before, had caused an increase of their merriment. I threw myself upon a sofa, and absolutely laughed till my sides ached, when, the door opening, the adjutant made his appearance. He looked for a moment at me, then at Stubbes, and then burst out himself, as loud as either of us. When he had at length recovered himself, he wiped his face with his handkerchief,...
Pàgina 327 - " Just so — and little you know of Ireland if that surprises you." After acknowledging that such an event was perfectly possible, from what I myself had seen of that country, I obtained the following very brief account of my companion's reasons for foreign travel : — "Well, sir...
Pàgina 300 - He sprang about, sometimes on his feet, sometimes all-fours, but always uttering the most fearful yells, and glaring upon the crowd in a manner that was really dangerous. The Knight did not feel exactly happy at the whole proceeding, and began heartily to wish himself back in the House, even upon a committee, of privileges, when suddenly the savage gave a more frantic scream than before, and seized upon a morsel of raw beef which a keeper extended to him upon a long fork like a tandem whip, — he...
