negus

Two dustmen were lately disputing the difference between bishop and negus.

Now, Heffernan, order me a glass of claret negus, and take care that no one comes to worry us with news of the House.

Of Mr. Negus it is said, that "he was a truly good man, and a useful preacher."

Perhaps negus and mutton-broth were never handed about under such dangerous circumstances.

The negus was brought and paid for by Gager, who then requested that they might be left there undisturbed for five minutes.
