Jack stepped forward and in a voice to be heard in Heaven he uttered the words "Three cheers for the King."
Huzzay, huzzay, huzzay: the cheers pealed out like so many rolling broadsides, and after the last nothing could be heard but Sarah and Emily, beside themselves with glee, who huzzayed on and on, "Huzzay, huzzay for Guy Fawkes," very shrill, until Jemmy Ducks suppressed them.
