text_original: John Bull is described as engaged in a sort of perpetual rivalry with Lewis Baboon. It was not that he had any reason to feel jealous of Lewis, for he was well able to encounter him at any moment, and under any conditions, ' at back sword, single faulchion, or cudgel play ; but then he was very apt to quarrel with his best friends, especially if they pretended to govern him. If you flattered him you might lead him like a child.'
