He was, in his temper, somewhat rapid and hasty, but of a kindly sweet disposition, void of all design ; and so innocent in his own intentions, that he suspected no one; so that you might have cheated him ten times in a day, if nine had not been sufficient for your purpose.
หน้า 79 - May he be cursed in his reins, and in his groin," [God in heaven forbid ! quoth my uncle Toby] "in his thighs, in his genitals" [My father shook his head] "and in his hips, and in his knees, his legs, and feet, and toe-nails ! *'May he be cursed in all the joints and articulations of his members, from the top of his head to the sole of his foot! May there be no soundness in him ! "May the Son of the living God, with all the glory of his majesty...
