The Attache; or, Sam Slick in
England –
T’other Eend of the Gun
by Thomas Chandler Haliburton

…
"
‘Well, Squire,’ said he, ‘I am glad, too, you are agoin’ to England
along with me: we will take rise out of John Bull (Great Briton, GB), won’t we
? We’ve hit Blue-nose (Nova Scotia) and Brother Johnathan (GB), both pretty considerably
tarnation hard, and John (GB)has split his sides with larfter (sic). Let’s tickle
him now, by feeling his own short ribs, and see how he will like it; we’ll soon
see whose hide is the thickest, his’n or ourn, won’t we ? Let’s see whether he
will say chee, chee, chee, when he gets to t’other eend of the gun."
