                                   Chap. XI.

I am so impatient to return to my own story, that what remains of young Le
Fever's, that is, from this turn of his fortune, to the time my uncle Toby
recommended him for my preceptor, shall be told in a very few words, in the next
chapter. - All that is necessary to be added to this chapter is as follows. -
    That my uncle Toby, with young Le Fever in his hand, attended the poor
lieutenant, as chief mourners, to his grave.
    That the governor of Dendermond paid his obsequies all military honours, -
and that Yorick, not to be behind hand - paid him all ecclesiastic - for he

occasion of its being preached: to this, he was ever wont to add some short
comment or stricture upon the sermon itself, seldom, indeed, much to its credit:
- For instance, This sermon upon the jewish dispensation - I don't like it at

    -- N.B. The excellency of this text is, that it will suit any sermon, - and
of this sermon, -- that it will suit any text. --
    -- For this sermon I shall be hanged, - for I have stolen the greatest part
of it. Doctor Paidagunes found me out. Set a thief to catch a thief. --
    On the back of half a dozen I find written, So, so, and no more -- and upon
a couple Moderato; by which, as far as one may gather from Altieri's Italian
dictionary, - but mostly from the authority of a piece of green whipcord, which
seemed to have been the unravelling of Yorick's whip-lash, with which he has
left us the two sermons marked Moderato, and the half
