Bishop was all done with the witty converstaion. 'Will you swear?' And Myrnin said, shockingly, 'I will.' And he proceeded to, a string of swearwords that made Claire blink. He ended with, '–frothy fool-born apple-john! Cheater of vandals and defiler of dead dogs! ' and did another twirl and bow. He looked up with a red, red grin that was more like a leer.

About This Quote

The Bishop is an alias of Myrnin Maxime, the mad scientist/ mad scientist, who is at the same time, a vampire. The word play here is quite obvious. Will you swear? Is he promising to tell the truth without any hesitation? Or, is it simply a matter of using his alias since he's not sure what the truth is? And then, he ends with ' frothy fool-born apple-john! Cheater of vandals and defiler of dead dogs'. He has used alliteration throughout this sentence to give emphasis to the two words that are at the end, namely 'fool-born' and 'dead dogs'.
