Leaving them, our coach passes on through busy Aldersgate Street, where we are interrupted frequently by droves of sheep and numerous oxen on their way from Smithfield to the slaughter-houses of their purchasers. On through Goswell Street, alive with cries of "milk" and "water creeses."
There was my wife at Brisket's, in Aldersgate Street, yesterday, and we all know what that means." "What does it mean?" demanded Robinson, scowling fearfully. "Would you hint to me that she is false?" "False! No! she's not false that I know of. She's ready enough to have you, if you can put yourself right with the old man. But if you can't, why, of course, she's not to wait till her hair's grey.
A dingy street now, dingier even than the main thoroughfare of Aldersgate Street, Barbican was then a fair enough bit of suburban London towards the north; and it boasted, as we already know, of at least one aristocratic mansion in which Milton had some interest the town-house of the Earl of Bridgewater, ex-President of Wales, and the peer of Comus.
Then the players dressed themselves in fair array, and flung their banners out, and came through Smithfield to Aldersgate, mocking the grim old gibbet there with railing gaiety; and through the gate rode into London town, with a long, loud cheer that brought the people crowding to their doors, and set the shutters creaking everywhere.
The writer was at once seen to be a man of remarkable learning and marvelous intellect, and the work secured Milton a few friends and divers enemies. From a man of leisure Milton had suddenly become a worker, whose every daylight hour was crammed with duties. His skill as a teacher brought him all the pupils he cared for, and he moved into better quarters in Aldersgate.
She and Polly are as thick as thieves, and so Polly has been to Aldersgate Street. Polly says that the Jones's are getting their money regularly out of the till." "Wait till her hair be grey!" said Robinson, when he was left to himself. "Do I wish her to wait? Would I not stand with her at the altar to-morrow, though my last half-crown should go to the greedy priest who joined us?
In that theatre Marlowe's 'Jew of Malta, Massinger's 'New Way to Pay Old Debts, and other pieces of good literature, were first produced. Its players under James I. were 'the Queen's servants. In 1656 Davenant broke through the restriction upon stage-plays, and took actors and musicians to 'the Cockpit, from Aldersgate Street.
Well, I'm all alone. Maryanne is with Mrs. Poppins, I think." With Mrs. Poppins! Yes; and where might she not be with Mrs. Poppins? Robinson felt that he had it within him at that moment to start off for Aldersgate Street. "But first to business," said he, as he remembered the special object for which he had come. "For the present it is well that she should be away," he said. "Mr.
It must have been the unutterable pain of the dis-illusioned bridegroom, the gnawing sense of his irretrievable mistake, The vision must then pass before our minds of scenes in the Aldersgate Street house, the reverse of the happily connubial, before that sudden departure of the bride back to her father's home, and leading to that incident perhaps rather violently.
RICHARD HEATH, OR HETH: That a person of this name was among Milton's pupils, rests on the evidence of one of Milton's own Epistolae Familiares, dated Dec. 1652, and addressed "Richardo Hetho." As he was then a minister of the Gospel somewhere, it is to be inferred that he was one of the earliest pupils of the Aldersgate Street days. I have not been able to identify him farther.
