William Makepeace Thackeray Quotes

Jos Growled From Under The Counterpane To Know What The Time Was; But When He At Last Extorted From The Blushing Major (who Never Told Fibs, However They Might Be To His Advantage) What Was The Real Hour Of The Morning, He Broke Out Into A Volley Of Bad Language, Which We Will Not Repeat Here, But By Which He Gave Dobbin To Understand That He Would Jeopardy His Soul If He Got Up At That Moment, That The Major Might Go And Be Hanged, That He Would Not Travel With Dobbin, And That It Was Most Unkind And Ungentlemanlike To Disturb A Man Out Of His Sleep In That Way; On Which The Discomfited Major Was Obliged To Retreat, Leaving Jos To Resume His Interrupted Slumbers.
