XXII
King William, said my uncle Toby, addressing himself to Yorick, was so terribly provoked at count Solmes for disobeying his orders, that he would not suffer him to come into his presence for many months after.вБ†вЄЇвБ†I fear, answered Yorick, the squire will be as much provoked at the corporal, as the King at the count.вБ†вЄЇвБ†But вАЩtwould be singularly hard in this case, continued he, if corporal Trim, who has behaved so diametrically opposite to count Solmes, should have the fate to be rewarded with the same disgrace:вБ†вЄЇвБ†too oft in this world, do things take that train.вБ†вЄЇвБ†I would spring a mine, cried my uncle Toby, rising up,вБ†вЄЇвБ†and blow up my fortifications, and my house with them, and we would perish under their ruins, ere I would stand by and see it.вБ†вЄЇвБ†Trim directed a slight,вБ†вЄЇвБ†but a grateful bow towards his master,вБ†вЄЇвБ†and so the chapter ends.
