In his time it was called Tudor House, but when the Rev. It is supposed to have been built by Wren, and the rooms are beautifully proportioned, panelled, and of great height. The next house to this on the eastern side was occupied for many years by the artistic family of the Lawsons. Thomas Attwood, a pupil of Mozart and himself a great composer, died there in 1838.
"Dammee, sir, when I lugged out my barkers, and talked of fighting across the mess-room table, Grig turned as pale as a sheet, or as " "Or as you used to do, Attwood, when Swishtail hauled you up," piped out little Hicks, the foundation-boy.
Hurrah for the Lord High Admiral's men!" Nick Attwood's father came home that night bitterly wroth. The burgesses of the town council had ordered him to build a chimney upon his house, or pay ten shillings fine; and shillings were none too plenty with Simon Attwood, the tanner of Old Town.
As I lay, cursing my ill fortune, and thinking how on earth I should manage to subsist for the next two months, Attwood burst into my little garret his face strangely flushed singing and shouting as if it had been the night before. "Titmarsh," cried he, "you are my preserver! my best friend! Look here, and here, and here!" And at every word Mr.
But when Master Shakspere and Nicholas Attwood came to Gaston Carew's house, the constables had taken charge, the servants were scattering hither and thither, and Cicely Carew was gone.
What could I do? To have denounced one of our friends at this moment would have been to play into the hands of your friend Attwood, and all the party of panic and slavery.

Mr. Edmonds was not one to become politically listless and apathetic. He considered the passing of the Reform Bill to be only the stepping-stone to other beneficial measures.
He recognised Sir Moses, observing that he had spoken to him on the previous day, and enquired whether he was settled in England; the King thought he lived in Italy. He spoke to Mr Attwood about Parliament and the new buildings, and laughingly said, he supposed that the Association would light them. February 5th.
As President of the Jews' Free School, Sir Moses took the chair at a dinner given at the London Tavern in aid of that Institution. He was supported on his right and left by Sir George Carrol, Mr T. A. Curtis, the Governor of the Bank; Mr M. Attwood, M. P.; Mr David Salamons, Mr Jno.
And, anyway, I'd like to know, Nick Attwood, since when hath a been 'Muster Shaxper' that ne'er-do-well, play-actoring fellow?" "Ne'er-do-well? It is na so. When he was here last summer he was bravely dressed, and had a heap of good gold nobles in his purse. And he gave Rick Hawkins, that's blind of an eye, a shilling for only holding his horse."
