" I 'd like another barley-cake," said Nick quietly, helping himself to the honey. " Upon my word and on the remnant of mine honour ! " ejaculated Carew. " Tell a man his fortune 's made, and he calls for barley-cakes ! Why, thou'dst say ' Pooh ! ' to a cannon-ball ! My faith, boy, dost understand what this doth mean ? " " Ay," said Nick ;
Стр. 6 - Then ride along, ride along, Stout and strong! Farewell to grief and care; With a rollicking cheer For the high dun deer And a life in the open air! Tantara, the hunt is up, lads; Tantara, the bugles bray!
Стр. 258 - And name me the price of that same song — 't was sweeter than the sweetest song we ever heard before."

As they came along the crooked street, a stray cat scurried away with scared green eyes, and a kenneled hound set up a lonesome howl. But the Blue Boar Inn was stirring like an ant-hill, with firefly lanterns flitting up and down, and a cheery glow about the open door.
