Bless thee! bless thee! bless thee! Now we shall see him again. We have not set eyes on him since that terrible day." "Gramercy, but that is strange," said Giles. "Maybe he is ashamed of having cursed those two vagabones, being our own flesh and blood, worse luck." "Think you that is why he hides?" said Margaret eagerly; "Ay, if he is hiding at all. However, I'll cry him by bellman.
There alike weary souls crept to pray for consolation, and vain minds sought the pomp of its ecclesiastic spectacles and ceremonies; the bailiff cried his law-sales before it, the bellman his advertisements; there was holy water for the babe, holy oil for the dying, masses for the departed; the maiden and the laborer unveiled their secret lives in its confessional-box; and all felt the influence, yea some at that period, the sternly asserted rule, of the Master of the institution.
The burgomasters of the several towns were commanded to aid all the poorer competitors by receiving their specimens and sending them with due care to Rotterdam at the expense of their several burghs. When this was cried by the bellman through the streets of Tergou, a thousand mouths opened, and one heart beat Gerard's. He told his family timidly he should try for two of those prizes.
I was indeed shocked with this sight; it almost overwhelmed me, and I went away with my heart most afflicted, and full of the afflicting thoughts, such as I cannot describe just at my going out of the church, and turning up the street towards my own house, I saw another cart with links, and a bellman going before, coming out of Harrow Alley in the Butcher Row, on the other side of the way, and being, as I perceived, very full of dead bodies, it went directly over the street also toward the church.
Edgar to edite and reprint one or more series of stories from "The Bellman." Such an undertaking would fill a very real need. Edna Ferber shares with Fannie Hurst the distinction of portraying the average American mind in its humbler human relations.
His discourse had shocked my resolution a little, and I stood wavering for a good while, but just at that interval I saw two links come over from the end of the Minories, and heard the bellman, and then appeared a dead-cart, as they called it, coming over the streets; so I could no longer resist my desire of seeing it, and went in.
I went to the Bellman House, the town's swellest hotel, to see her. I had never met her but had long admired her for her activities and bravery. I found her a thick-built woman, after the gladiatorial fashion ... as she moved she made me think of a battleship going into action.
At the proper stations Duncan blew a rousing pibroch, after which the bellman, who, for the dignity of his calling, insisted on a prelude of three strokes of his clapper, proclaimed aloud that Malcolm, marquis of Lossie, desired the presence of each and every of his tenants in the royal burgh of Portlossie, Newton and Seaton, in the town-hall of the same, at seven of the clock upon the evening next following.
This is a form often adopted by Swedish poets. We find it in Tegnér's Frithiof's Saga, in Runeberg's Sayings of Sergeant Stal, and in the works of other poets. It is a question, however, whether even by these Master Singers, in their more elaborate conceptions and genial flights of poetry, Bellman has ever been surpassed. In lyric power and vivid realism, his popular ditties are unrivaled.
Mackworth took me to one side and thrust a fifty-dollar bill into my hand. I hurried down to Locker, the clothier.... In a very little while I was again walking by the Bellman House, completely togged out in new apparel from head to heel. Mackworth was still standing there, and he laughed with astonishment at the lightning-quick change in my appearance.... "You're a card, Gregory!"
