Weſtern’s Manor? Did not I tell you many a good Year ago what would come of it? but you would have your own headſtrong Ways; yes, you would, you Villain—’
Black George was, in the main, a peaceable kind of Fellow, and nothing choleric, nor raſh, yet he did bear about him ſomething of what the Antients called the Iraſcible, and which his Wife, if ſhe had been endowed with much Wiſdom, would have feared. He had long experienced, that when the Storm grew very high Arguments were but Wind, which ſerved rather to increaſe than to abate it. He was therefore ſeldom unprovided with a ſmall Switch, a Remedy of wonderful Force, as he had often eſſayed, and which the Word Villain ſerved as a Hint for his applying.
No ſooner, therefore, had this Symptom appeared, than he had immediate Recourſe to the ſaid Remedy, which though, as it is uſual in all very efficacious Medicines, it at firſt ſeemed to heighten and inflame the Diſeaſe, ſoon produced a total calm, and reſtored the Patient to perfect Eaſe and Tranquility.
