Fractious old blockhead!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 195   ~   ~   ~

Blockhead!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 561   ~   ~   ~

I will remove your suspense.--There is a Mr. Worthnought, a thing by some people call'd a man, a beau, a fine gentleman, a smart fellow; and by others a coxcomb, a puppy, a baboon and an ass.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 801   ~   ~   ~

more than any other merchant in the city; and as for that stupid proverb, money is the root of all evil, 'tis well enough for those to say so, who have none; for my part, I know that much of the good things of this world is better than not enough--that a man can live longer upon a hundred thousand pounds than one thousand pounds--that if, the more we have the more we want, the more we have the more we make--and that it is better to make hay while the sun shines _against_ a rainy day, when I shall be upon my last legs, than to work and toil like an ass _in_ the rain; so it plainly appears that money is the root of all good;--that's my logic.--I long to see the young rogue tho'--I dare say he looks very like his father;--but, had I thought old Trueman wou'd have us'd me so ill, I wou'd not have wrote for him yet; for he shall not have his old sweetheart:--if he offers to disobey me in this respect, by my body, I'll disinherit the ungracious dog immediately.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 879   ~   ~   ~

He vas call me--ah, le diable!--block; dis--[_Points to his head._] blockhead, oui, blockhead.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 954   ~   ~   ~

May be you're the old fellow's bastard, and if you're a bastard, you can't be a son, you know: aye, that's the catch, I suppose.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,232   ~   ~   ~

How well she dissembles!--_Friendly freedom,_--a pretty term that, for the wanton hussy.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,272   ~   ~   ~

Surely the old blockhead would not make himself so ridiculous.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,274   ~   ~   ~

Yes, it's for that;--I remember he said you call'd him a blockhead.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,350   ~   ~   ~

[_Breaks open the note, and reads._] What is all this?--Booby--blockhead-- satisfaction--challenge--courage--honour--gentleman--honour'd per Monsieur Cubb.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,381   ~   ~   ~

You are crazier than either, you old blockhead, or you would not make such a crazy speech: I say my constitution is a thousand per cent.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,484   ~   ~   ~

My proper sirname is Humphry Cubb; why our family is the most largest family within the circumroundibus of fifty miles, and the most grandest too, tho' I say it that shou'dn't say it; for my father's father's great-grandfather was a just-ass of the peace, when King George the third was a sucking baby, and, therefore, as father says, a greater _man_ then, than he was, ha, ha, ha.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,514   ~   ~   ~

Why if she gets him, she'll get a bastard, for old Mr. Lovit isn't his father.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,520   ~   ~   ~

This is a lucky meeting, 'foregad;--I'll go immediately and report, that young Loveyet has of late seen my quondam charmer carry a copy of him in miniature about her, which (strange to tell) is continually growing nearer to the life; and that he refuses to have her, on that account.--"If she gets him, she will get a bastard."

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,565   ~   ~   ~

What will this wicked world come to at last!--A good-for-nothing, wanton hussy.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,667   ~   ~   ~

Why, I'm not old enough for your father, you great whelp you:--Ungracious young bastard,--to have the assurance to ridicule his father!--Out of my house, you 'scape-grace!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,140   ~   ~   ~

Dick Worthnought, esquire, thou art an ass and a liar; and, what is worse than both,--as poor as poverty.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,143   ~   ~   ~

Stay a little, if you please, sir.--My happiness is too great at present, to let me take that revenge, which the baseness of your conduct deserves: but justice bids me accuse you of having wickedly, and without cause, endeavoured to injure the reputation of this lady, whom it is my highest boast and felicity now to call my wife; my making her such, however, at the very time when the baneful tongue of Slander is so diligent to damn her spotless fame,--[_Looking significantly at CANTWELL and HERALD._]--will at once convince the public of her innocence, and the cruelty of her enemies.
