That he threw his hat in the air
An old "statesman," from about Mungrisedale or Penruddockwearing a pair of buckskin breeches, whose pint of nut-brown had just been upset in the furoris remembered as having been so worked upon by the excitement of the moment, that he threw his hat in the air, and, in derisive language, addressed himself to anybody and everybody, as follows:"Ha! ha! my fine fellow! If thoo says Clattan isn't a gud russler, an' wasn't olas a gud russler, thoo tells a heàp o' lees, an' nowte but leesthoo confoondit taistrel, thoo!"
