The world is ashamed of being virtuousвБ†вЄЇвБ†My uncle Toby knew little of the world; and therefore when he felt he was in love with widow Wadman, he had no conception that the thing was any more to be made a mystery of, than if Mrs.¬†Wadman had given him a cut with a gapвАЩd knife across his finger: Had it been otherwiseвБ†вЄЇвБ†yet as he ever lookвАЩd upon Trim as a humble friend; and saw fresh reasons every day of his life, to treat him as suchвБ†вЄЇвБ†it would have made no variation in the manner in which he informed him of the affair.

вАЬI am in love, corporal!вАЭ quoth my uncle Toby.
