CHAPTER XXIII

----Then, _Yorick_, replied my uncle _Toby_, you and I will lead the way abreast, ----and do you, corporal, follow a few paces behind us. ----And _Susannah_, an’ please your honour, said _Trim_, shall be put in the rear. ----’Twas an excellent disposition, --and in this order, without either drums beating, or colours flying, they marched slowly from my uncle _Toby’s_ house to _Shandy-hall_.

----I wish, said _Trim_, as they entered the door, --instead of the sash weights, I had cut off the church spout, as I once thought to have done. --You have cut off spouts enow, replied _Yorick_.----
