his clothes, and gown
and slippers, he said, What bold body dare disturb my repose thus? and
opened the door. In rushed she: I'll see your wickedness, said she, I
will! In vain shall you think to hide it from me.--What should I hide?
said he. How dare you set a foot into my house, after the usage I
have received from you?--I had covered myself over head and ears, and
trembled every joint. He looked, and 'spied her woman and kinsman in
the room, she crying out, Bear witness, Jackey; bear witness, Beck; the
creature is now in his bed! And not seeing the young gentleman before,
who was at the feet of the bed, he said, How now, sir? What's your
