My uncle Toby took the ivory pipe out of the corporalвАЩs hand,вБ†вАФlooked at it for half a minute, and returned it.
In less than two minutes, my uncle Toby took the pipe from the corporal again, and raised it halfway to his mouthвБ†вЄЇвБ†then hastily gave it back a second time.
The corporal redoubled the attack,вБ†вЄЇвБ†my uncle Toby smiled,вБ†вЄЇвБ†then looked grave,вБ†вЄЇвБ†then smiled for a moment,вБ†вЄЇвБ†then looked serious for a long time;вБ†вЄЇвБ†Give me hold of the ivory pipe, Trim, said my uncle TobyвБ†вЄЇвБ†my uncle Toby put it to his lips,вБ†вЄЇвБ†drew it back directly,вБ†вАФgave a peep over the hornbeam hedge;вБ†вЄЇвБ†never did my uncle TobyвАЩs mouth water so much for a pipe in his life.вБ†вЄЇвБ†My uncle Toby retired into the sentry-box with the pipe in his hand.вБ†вЄї
вЄЇвБ†Dear uncle Toby! donвАЩt go into the sentry-box with the pipe,вБ†вАФthereвАЩs no trusting a manвАЩs self with such a thing in such a corner.
