Excerpt from The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, And, a Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy, Vol. 2 of 2When the cataplasm was ready, a scruple Of decorum had unseasonably rose up in Susannah's conscience, about holding the candle, whilst Slop tied it on, Slop had not treated Susannah's distemper with anodynes, - and so a quarrel had ensued betwixt them.Oh! Oh -said Slop, casting a glance of undue free dom in Susannah's face, as she declined the Office then, I think I know you, madam - You know me, Sir! Cried Susannah fastidiously, and with a toss Of her head, levelled evidently, not at his profession, but at the doctor himself, - you know me! Cried Susannah again. Doctor Slop clapped his fin er and his thumb instantly upon his nostrils - Susannah s spleen was ready to burst at it - 'tis false, said Susannah. Come, come, Mrs. Modesty, said Slop, not a little elated with the success Of his last thrust, -if you won't hold the candle, and look you may hold it and shut your eyes - That's one Of your popish shifts, cried Susannah - 'tis better, said 810 with a nod, than no shift at all, young woman - I de y you, Sir, cried Susannah, pulling her shift sleeve below her elbow.It was almost impossible for two persons to assist each other in a surgical case with a more splenetic cordiality.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
