Chapter 71 My uncle Toby took the ivory pipe out of the corporals hand,looked 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 half way to his mouththen hastily gave it back a second time. The corporal redoubled the attack,my uncle Toby smiled,then looked grave,then smiled for a moment,then looked serious for a long time; Give me hold of the ivory pipe, Trim, said my uncle Tobymy uncle Toby put it to his lips,drew it back directly,gave a peep over the horn-beam hedge;never did my uncle Tobys mouth water so much for a pipe in his life.My uncle Toby retired into the sentry-box with the pipe in his hand. Dear uncle Toby! dont go into the sentry-box with the pipe,theres no trusting a mans self with such a thing in such a corner. |
