My mother had gone with her left arm twisted in my father's right, till they had got to the fatal angle of the old garden wall, where Doctor _Slop_ was overthrown by _Obadiah_ on the coach-horse: as this was directly opposite to the front of Mrs. _Wadman's_ house, when my father came to it, he gave a look across; and seeing my uncle _Toby_ and the corporal within ten paces of the door, he turn'd about---- "Let us just stop a moment, quoth my father, and see with what ceremonies my brother _Toby_ and his man _Trim_ make their first entry----it will not detain us, added my father, a single minute:" ----No matter, if it be ten minutes, quoth my mother.

My mother had gone with her left arm twisted in my father's right, till they were directly opposite the front of Mrs. Wadman's house. My father looked across; and seeing my uncle Toby and the corporal within ten paces of the door, he said,
'Let us just stop a moment, and see how my brother Toby and his man Trim make their first entry - it will not detain us a minute.'
'No matter if it be ten minutes,' quoth my mother.
