KING _William_, said my uncle _Toby_, addressing himself to _Yorick_,
was so terribly provoked at count _Solmes_ for disobeying his orders,
that he would not suffer him to come into his presence for many months
after.——I fear, answered _Yorick_, the squire will be as much provoked
at the corporal, as the King at the count.——But ’twould be singularly
hard in this case, continued be, if corporal _Trim_, who has behaved so
diametrically opposite to count _Solmes_, should have the fate to be
rewarded with the same disgrace:——too oft in this world, do things take
that train.——I would spring a mine, cried my uncle _Toby_, rising
up,——and blow up my fortifications, and my house with them, and we
would perish under their ruins, ere I would stand by and see
it.——_Trim_ directed a slight,——but a grateful bow towards his
master,——and so the chapter ends.
