When and where did you see it?
Now upon your oath, fellow, do you mean to say that this Roman stole the donkey's foal?
Oh, there's no one for cross-questioning like Counsellor P---.

Our people when they are in a hobble always like to employ him, though he is somewhat dear.

Now, brother, how can you get over the 'upon your oath, fellow, will you say that you have a soul ?'" "Well, we will take no oaths on the subject; but you yourself believe in the soul.

I have heard you say that you believe in dukkerin; now what is dukkerin but the soul science ?" "When did I say that I believed in it ?" "Why, after that fight, when you pointed to the bloody mark in the cloud, whilst he you wot of was galloping in the barouche to the old town, amidst the rain-cataracts, the thunder, and flame of heaven." "I have some kind of remembrance of it, brother." "Then, again, I heard you say that the dook of Abershaw rode every night on horseback down the wooded hill." "I say, brother, what a wonderful memory you have!" "I wish I had not, Jasper; but I can't help it, it is my misfortune." "Misfortune! well, perhaps it is; at any rate it is very ungenteel to have such a memory.

I have heard my wife say that to show you have a long memory looks very vulgar; and that you can't give a greater proof of gentility than by forgetting a thing as soon as possible--more especially a promise, or an acquaintance when he happens to be shabby.
