By bringing up her forefinger parallel to my uncle Toby's - it unavoidably brought the thumb into action - which naturally brought in the whole hand. Mrs. Wadman might now take up thine, dear uncle Toby! with the gentlest pushings and compressions that a hand is capable of receiving.
Whilst this was happening, how could she forget to make him aware that it was her leg at the bottom of the sentry-box, which slightly pressed against the calf of his - so that my uncle Toby being thus attacked on both sides - was it any wonder, if now and then, it put his centre into disorder?
'The deuce take it!' said my uncle Toby.
