And that her conviction of their reality was genuine, profound indeed to the point of pain, admitted neither of question nor of doubt. William Jennifer, who successfully combined in his single person the varied offices of ferryman, rat-catcher, jobbing gardener, amateur barber, mender of sails and of nets, brought the heavy, flat-bottomed boat alongside the jetty.
If it should be so, I have advised Grant most strongly to withdraw my name, to put up some other man, and then to fight the battle to the utmost. We shall be suspected of jobbing if we proceed to extremities on behalf of one of ourselves; but we can do what we like, if it is in favour of some person whom we cannot be suspected of supporting from interested motives.
Yet this is better than the old infamous jobbing, and the foolocracy under which you have so long laboured." Sydney Smith's first term of official duty at St. Paul's began on the 1st of February 1832. On the eve of the new year he wrote to his married daughter: "We are debating how to come up to town, and how to make a Stage Coach compatible with Saba's aristocracy and dignity.
Let every one who is good-hearted in the sense that Mr. May was, ask seriously the same questions. "YOU'D better take the whole case. These goods will sell as fast as they can be measured off." The young man to whom this was said by the polite and active partner in a certain jobbing house in Philadelphia, shook his head and replied firmly "No, Mr. Johnson.

Not a word had my uncle heard of our losses until they had been adjusted and the sum paid; for we all knew that the old Tower would have been gone sold to some neighboring squire or jobbing attorney at the first impetuous impulse of Uncle Roland's affectionate generosity. Austin endangered! Austin ruined! he would never have rested till he came, cash in hand, to his deliverance.

William MacDonnell, assistant foreman, escaped to England, taking with them stereo plates of the "suppressed" issue. From these plates, my own jobbing machines not being big enough to print a full-sized newspaper, I got a local firm to print sufficient copies to cover the Dublin supply, which, as I have explained, had been the only part of the issue which fell into the hands of the police.
