Thackeray, William Makepeace, 1811-1863

"Burlesques"

My woons was thus made to become me as much as pawsable; and
(has the Poick well observes 'Nun but the Brayv desuvs the Fare')
I cumsoled myself in the sasiaty of the ladies for my tempory
disfiggarment.
"It was Mary Hann who summind the House and put an end to my
phisticoughs with Fitzwarren. I licked him and bare him no mallis: but
of corse I dismist the imperent scoundrill from my suvvis, apinting
Adolphus, my page, to his post of confidenshle Valley.
"Mary Hann and her young and lovely Mrs. kep paying me continyoul visits
during my retiremint. Lady Hangelina was halways sending me messidges by
her: while my exlent friend, Lady Bareacres (on the contry) was always
sending me toakns of affeckshn by Hangelina. Now it was a coolin
hi-lotium, inwented by herself, that her Ladyship would perscribe--then,
agin, it would be a booky of flowers (my favrit polly hanthuses,
pellagoniums, and jyponikys), which none but the fair &s of Hangelina
could dispose about the chamber of the hinvyleed. Ho! those dear
mothers! when they wish to find a chans for a galliant young feller, or
to ixtablish their dear gals in life, what awpertunities they WILL give
a man! You'd have phansied I was so hill (on account of my black hi),
that I couldnt live exsep upon chicking and spoon-meat, and jellies,
and blemonges, and that I coudnt eat the latter dellixies (which I
ebomminate onternoo, prefurring a cut of beaf or muttn to hall the
kickpshaws of France), unless Hangelina brought them.
