How unsubstantial is this projection of a man's existence, which can lie in abeyance for centuries and then be brushed up again and set forth for the consideration of posterity by a few dips in an antiquary's inkpot! Francois de Montcorbier, ALIAS Francois des Loges, ALIAS Francois Villon, ALIAS Michel Mouton, Master of Arts in the University of Paris, was born in that city in the summer of 1431.
"The chicken-pie! the port! ou dear! brother there was but a wheen banes, and scarce a drap o' the wine." The Antiquary's countenance became clouded, though he was too well bred to give way, in the presence of a stranger, to his displeased surprise at the, disappearance of the viands on which he had reckoned with absolute certainty. But his sister understood these looks of ire. "Ou dear!
I got it from a French savant, to whom I rendered some service after the Alexandria affair." The captain put a small ring-case into the Antiquary's hands, which, when opened, was found to contain an antique ring of massive gold, with a cameo, most beautifully executed, bearing a head of Cleopatra.
Aunt Anne had her power ... They climbed the dim crooked staircase behind the antiquary's wall. They rang the Warlock bell and were admitted. Maggie did not know what it was that she had expected, but it was certainly not the pink, warm room of Mrs. Warlock.
One may be poor, but one has no right to be mean I thought he would have got the miserable antiquary's skin." "Antiquaries can generally take care of themselves," observed Orsino incredulously. "Oh, I daresay but it looks so badly, you know. That is all I mean. When he saw me he stopped wrangling and we talked a little, while I had the embroidery wrapped up. I will show it to you after dinner.
"I think I have heard the names of these places," said the Earl, in answer to the Antiquary's appeal. "Heard the name? and the farm brings him six hundred a-year O Lord!" Such was the scarce-subdued ejaculation of the Antiquary.
Hoping, fearing, bright to-day and dark to-morrow, willing to work and wait-here she sits. A few days pass, and the odds and ends of the Antiquary's little shop, like the "shirts" of the gallant Fremont, whom we oppressed while poor, and essayed to flatter when a hero, are gazetted under the head of "sheriff's sale." Hope, alas! brings no comfort to Maria.
A sort of tally generally used by bakers of the olden time in settling with their customers. Each family had its own nick-stick, and for each loaf as delivered a notch was made on the stick. Accounts in Exchequer, kept by the same kind of check, may have occasioned the Antiquary's partiality. In Prior's time the English bakers had the same sort of reckoning.
"I understand," he at length said, "that the young gentleman, to whose gallantry and presence of mind we were so much indebted last night, has favoured me with a visit I am distressed that I am unable to see him, or indeed any one, but an old friend like you, Mr. Oldbuck." A declination of the Antiquary's stiff backbone acknowledged the preference.
"The chicken-pie! the port! ou dear! brother there was but a wheen banes, and scarce a drap o' the wine." The Antiquary's countenance became clouded, though he was too well bred to give way, in the presence of a stranger, to his displeased surprise at the, disappearance of the viands on which he had reckoned with absolute certainty. But his sister understood these looks of ire. "Ou dear!
