Lorna had never seen, I dare say, anything like this before, and it was all that we could do to keep her from rushing forth with only little lambswool shoes on, and kissing every one of them. 'Oh, the dear things, oh, the dear things! she kept saying continually, 'how wonderfully clever they are! Only look at that one with his foot up, giving orders to the others, John!
The allusion to Lord Lambswool had not been pleasant to them, but it had not been worse than they had expected. But now they were displeased. They did not like being told that they were taking a bit of bread from him in their own political destitution. They did not like that he, an individual, should presume that he had prayer to offer to them as a nation.
'How pretty she looks! said Mary, stooping over the infant. 'Sleep is giving her quite a colour; and how fast she grows! 'Poor little woman! said Amy, sighing. 'Tired, Amy? said Mary, sitting down, and taking up the little lambswool shoe, that Amy had been knitting. 'N no, thank you, said Amy, with another sigh. 'I am afraid you are. You have been walking to Alice Lamsden's again.
"I am principally glad to see you safe and well; but here is Joe Rimegap shot as dead as a buck in season, and more of us are hurt; and we'll have revenge, and roast the Puritans like apples for lambswool!" "Then you shall roast me along with them," said Julian; "for I vow to God, I will not leave the hall, being bound by parole of honour to abide with Major Bridgenorth till lawfully dismissed."
Is it not hard to think that silks bought of a man in a lambswool cap, in a caravanserai, brought hither on the backs of camels, should have been manufactured after all at Lyons?
Is the country not over-ridden by the aristocracy when Lord Lambswool not only possesses his own hereditary seat in the House of Lords, but also has a seat for his eldest son in the House of Commons?" Then a voice from the back called out, "What the deuce is all that to you?" The Senator's Lecture. No.
Do you mean to assert that my Lord Lambswool can leave his land to whom he pleases? I tell you that he has no more than a life-interest in it, and that his son will only have the same." Then an eager Briton on the platform got up and whispered to the Senator for a few minutes, during which the murmuring was continued.
Only one of them, a little man with a wrathful air, in a sheepskin coat wide open, and a lambswool cap pulled right over his eyes, on coming up to the gingerbread man, suddenly inquired: 'How much is the gingerbread, you tomfool? 'What sort of gingerbread will it be, worthy sir? the disconcerted gingerbread man responded in a thin, little voice. 'Some are a farthing and others cost a halfpenny.
Elliot, who was ordained pastor of the New North Church of Boston in 1742, shows that he, having a frugal mind, sold both gloves and rings. He kept a full list of the gloves he received, the kid gloves, the lambswool gloves, and the long gloves, which were for his wife. It seems incredible, but in thirty-two years he received two thousand and nine hundred and forty pairs of gloves.
Coat, jacket, trousers, shoes were all right, but a lambswool vest fits a man like a skin. I heard more men coming, my cook was lying quiet on the other side of the counter, stunned or scared speechless, and I had to make another dash for it, like a rabbit hunted out of a wood-pile. "'This way, policeman! I heard someone shouting.
