His murderer whispered with agitation, 'For heaven's sake, say something—anything,' on which Tom, throwing up his little three-cornered [Pg 8]hat, shouted in his thick lisp, 'Nelson for ever!' and died amidst louder applause than was ever provoked by the finest strokes of Garrick or Siddons."，"Wait," gulped Billy, but it was plain to be seen he was wavering.

He came but a little way on the stage from the south for each of his short solos; and the others pelted him back.
