Undaunted, the Red Beadle demonstrated that the man could not be of the missionary camp, else had he not been left to starve, one converted Jew being worth a thousand pounds of fresh subscriptions. Moreover he, the Red Beadle, had now convinced the man of his spiritual errors, and The Brotherhood of the Peoples was no longer on sale.
His nod was levelled at a horseman who had ridden down the street and was pressing upon the outskirts of the crowd: and this was no less a dignitary than the Mayor of Falmouth, preceded on foot by a beadle and two mace-bearers, all three of them shouting "Way! Make way for the Mayor!" with such effect that in less than half a minute the crowd had divided itself to form a lane for them. "Eh? eh?
Meanwhile a man named Monks, a friend of Fagin's had by chance seen Oliver, had been strangely excited and angered at sight of him, and after carefully learning some details of the boy's history, had gone to the beadle at the workhouse where Oliver began life, and by dint of bribes, had extorted information concerning Oliver's mother, which only one person knew.
Since the beadle has seen nobody in the evening, it is not likely that he will see more in the morning." I kissed again and again this charming letter, which I thought shewed great power of mental combination, and I went next day to see how the coast lay: this was the first thing to be done.

Lee built a log cabin and acquired some ferry rights that had been possessed by the Church. An interesting detail of the ferry is given by J. H. Beadle, in his "Western Wilds."

He made some allusion, also, to an inferior potentate, called 'Turkey-legs; but I did not understand that this gentleman was invested with much power. I rather inferred that he derived his title from some peculiarity of gait, and that it was of an honorary character. 'My father, pursued the King of the Bill-Stickers, 'was Engineer, Beadle, and Bill-Sticker to the parish of St.
In that coffin was his daughter, the mother of the ragged child who wept by his side his heart was breaking at the thought of that last farewell; he stood motionless, and his bosom heaved with convulsive sobs. "Now, will you make haste?" said the brutal beadle. "Do you think we are going to sleep here?" The old man quickened his movements.
The beadle in red clothes, who stalks about the cathedral like a converted flamingo, offered to open for us the chapel; but we declined a sight of the very bones of the Wise Men.
