Evans. Nominativo, hig, hag, hog;—pray you, mark: genitivo, hujus. Well, what is your accusative case?

William. Accusativo, hinc.

Evans. I pray you, have your remembrance, child; accusativo, hung, hang, hog.

Quickly. Hang-hog is Latin for bacon, I warrant you.

Evans. Leave your prabbles, 'oman.—What is the focative case, William?

William. O!—vocativo, O!

Evans. Remember, William; focative is caret.

Quickly. And that's a good root.

Evans. 'Oman, forbear.

Mrs. Page. Peace!
