Your honour, replied the corporal, is too much concerned; --shall I pour your honour out a glass of sack to your pipe? ----Do, _Trim_, said my uncle _Toby_.
I remember, said my uncle _Toby_, sighing again, the story of the ensign and his wife, with a circumstance his modesty omitted; --and particularly well that he, as well as she, upon some account or other (I forget what) was universally pitied by the whole regiment; --but finish the story thou art upon: --'Tis finished already, said the corporal, --for I could stay no longer, --so wished his honour a good night; young _Le Fever_ rose from off the bed, and saw me to the bottom of the stairs; and as we went down together, told me, they had come from _Ireland_, and were on their route to join the regiment in _Flanders_. ----But alas! said the corporal, --the lieutenant's last day's march is over. --Then what is to become of his poor boy? cried my uncle _Toby_.
'I remember,' said my uncle Toby, sighing deeply, 'the story of the ensign and his wife, with a circumstance his modesty omitted; and particularly well because he, as well as she, upon some account or other (I forget what) was pitied by the whole regiment; but finish thy story.'
''Tis finished already,' said the corporal, 'for I could stay no longer. Young Le Fever saw me to the bottom of the stairs; and as we went down, told me they had come from Ireland, and were on their way to join the regiment in Flanders. But alas! the lieutenant's last march is over.'
'Then what is to become of his poor boy?' cried my uncle Toby.
