Come, _Trim_, quoth my father, after he saw the poor fellow's grief had got a little vent, --read on, --and put this melancholy story out of thy head: --I grieve that I interrupted thee; but prithee begin the sermon again; --for if the first sentence in it is matter of abuse, as thou sayest, I have a great desire to know what kind of provocation the apostle has given.

'Come, Trim,' quoth my father, after a while, 'read, and put this melancholy story out of thy head. Begin again.'
