Mr. Crotchet found it essential to furnish himself with a coat of arms, videlicet: Crest, a crotchet rampant, in A sharp: Arms, three empty bladders, turgescent, to show how opinions are formed; three bags of gold, pendent, to show why they are maintained; three naked swords, trenchant, to show how they are administered; and three barbers’ blocks, gaspant, to show how they are swallowed.
