"You've never seen them; they're awfully good," I compassionately objected. "Not seen them? Why, all this recent work of yours drops to pieces with them. It's all I want to see of them." "No one else has said anything against it the Cheapside people are pleased." "Everyone else is an ass, and the Cheapside people the biggest asses of all.
Thus, the earldom of Cornwallis was founded by Thomas Cornwallis, the Cheapside merchant; that of Essex by William Capel, the draper; and that of Craven by William Craven, the merchant tailor.
That the King of Portugall is a very fool almost, and his mother do all, and he is a very poor Prince. After a morning draft at the Star in Cheapside, I took him to the Exchange, thence home, but my wife having dined, I took him to Fish Street, and there we had a couple of lobsters, and dined upon them, and much discourse.
The way through the Borough to the bridge was lined by the Surrey militia; the way from the bridge to Walbrook by three regiments of the militia of the City. All along Cheapside, on the right hand and on the left, the livery were marshalled under the standards of their trades.
They were also told that the greater part of Cheapside was on fire, and wholly impassable while the destructive element was invading at one and the same time Guildhall and the Royal Exchange.

I must imagine them with their fishing tackle on their back, as we carry our town necessaries. What a sensation would it cause in Lothbury? What vehement laughter would it not excite among The daughters of Cheapside, and wives of Lombard-street. I am sure that no town-bred, or inland-born subjects, can feel their true and natural nourishment at these sea-places.
I found that he had been apprenticed to a mercer in Cheapside. He had grown into a big lad. As he had been somewhat daring and fond of excitement as a boy, he was, as may be supposed, not unwilling to find himself in a turmoil, where a pair of stout fists or a thick cudgel would serve him in good stead. I had somewhat lost my taste for such things during the courtly life I had lately led.
Vane was loth to let her hand go but she snatched it away and ran off, turning her head and throwing him a smile over her shoulder a picture of natural grace and charming womanly wile and tenderness which dwelt in his memory for many a long day. Vane stood watching the fleeting figure until it vanished in the obscurity of Ludgate Hill and then with a deep sigh turned towards Cheapside.
