We saw the proctor come out, who finding me on the watch, slapped me on the shoulder, and said with a simper : Gil Bias is not forgotten. At these words, I felt the most lively joy ; and was so well pleased with my master for his kind notice, that I promised myself the pleasure of praying for his soul after death, which event happened anon ; for the surgeon having bled him once more, the poor old man, quite exhausted, gave up the ghost under the lancet. "XJust as he was breathing his last, the ...physician made his appearance, and looked a little foolish, notwithstanding the universality of his death- bed experience. Yet, far from imputing the acci- dent to the, new practice, he walked off, affirming with intrepidity, that it was owing to their having been too lenient with the lancet, and too chafy~of~~ their warm water. The medical executioner, I mean the surgeon, seeing that his functions also were at an end, followed Doctor Sangrado. As soon as he saw the breath out of our patron's body, Dame Jacintha, Inesilla, and myself, joined in a decent chorus of funeral lamentation, loud enough to produce a proper effect in the neighbor- hood.
