He had no sooner spoken these words than the ensign, together with a volley of curses, discharged a bottle full at the head of Jones, which, hitting him a little above the right temple, brought him instantly to the ground.
Tom staggered to his feet, clasping a hand to his head. Blood was flowing freely from the wound and his hair was drenched with wine and full of bits of glass. Where was that d-n Northerton! The man had insulted his dearest Sophia and then he had attacked him. The impudence! The indignity! The cowardly deed had to be answered for and then he would....Where was he?

Typist: This is Tom Jones (not in any way a singer from Wales) from the 1749 novel The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling aka 'The Book That Nobody Has Read.' He is easily confused, handsome, and gullible as a newborn. Have at him.
