⸺This unfortunate drawbridge of yours, quoth my father⸺God bless your honour, cried Trim , ’tis a bridge for master’s nose.⸺In bringing him into the world with his vile instruments, he has crushed his nose, Susannah says, as flat as a pancake to his face, and he is making a false bridge with a piece of cotton and a thin piece of whalebone out of Susannah’s stays, to raise it up.
⸺Lead me, brother Toby , cried my father, to my room this instant.
