That so inexperienced an infant should notice it was surprising, but that he should at once start for it showed remarkable "mother wit."

And if Calais did not happen to be so situated, that it affords a pleasant refuge to some of those who have the wit to prefer free limbs and fresh air to a prison, it would be all that is agreeable and genteel.

We left the refuge station at the top together with a train of wine-sledges, and passed them in the midst of the wild descent.
