Ay, such a Plot were worth the Prosecution. Car. And such a one I have in my head: Guzman, my Servant, knows a fellow here in Cadiz, whom for his pleasant humour I have oft observ'd, as I have past the Streets, but too mean to be convers'd with, by almost any human thing, by Trade a Chimney-Sweeper. Ant. On, Sir, I beseech you. Car.
The Blansaerts assured their superior that entire reliance might be placed on their fidelity, and that they knew of three or four other men in Leyden "as firm as trees and fierce as lions," whom they would engage a fustian worker, a tailor, a chimney-sweeper, and one or two other mechanics. The looseness and utter recklessness with which this hideous conspiracy was arranged excites amazement.
Frederick imitated the squeaking voice of this chimney-sweeper to great perfection. "Now," continued he, "this fellow is just my height. The old Quaker, if my face were blackened, and if I were to change clothes with the chimney- sweeper, I'll answer for it, would never know me." "Oh, it's an admirable invention! I give you infinite credit for it!" exclaimed Mrs. Theresa.
He made a will bequeathing his knowledge of law to the magistrates of Edinburgh, his dexterity in cards and dice to Hamilton the chimney-sweeper, and all his bad qualities to his good friends and old companions, Brown and Ainslie, not doubting, however, that their own will secure them 'a rope at last. In prison it was his worst complaint that, though the nails of his toes and fingers were not quite so long as Nebuchadnezzar's, they were long enough for a mandarin, and much longer than he found convenient.
Just when Frederick had got rid of half his black countenance, a double knock was heard at the door. It was Mr. and Mrs. Montague. "What will you do now?" whispered Mrs. Theresa to Frederick, as his father and mother came into the room. "A chimney-sweeper covered with blood!" exclaimed Mr. and Mrs. Montague.
And so he did; and when Frederick spoke, the voice was so very like, that it was scarcely possible that he should have perceived the difference. Marianne was diverted by this scene; but she started, when in the midst of it they heard a bell ring. "That's the lady's bell, and we must go," said the blunt chimney-sweeper. "Go, then, about your business," said Mrs.
The latter specimen, of his workmanship was adorned with a little scarecrow figure, intended to represent a housebreaking chimney-sweeper of the time, described in Sheppard's own hand-writing, as 'Jack Hall a-hanging. We must not omit to mention that a family group from the pencil of little Winifred, representing Mr. and Mrs.
A dog, between the breed of a mastiff and a bull-dog, belonging to a chimney-sweeper, laid, according to his master's orders, on a soot-bag, which he had placed inadvertently almost in the middle of a narrow back street, in a town in the south of England. A loaded cart passing by, the driver desired the dog to move out of the way.
It went thus with Petrea's purchase of ribbon: In passing a gingerbread-booth she saw a little chimney-sweeper, who was casting the most loving glances on some purple-red apples, and Petrea, with the money in her hand, could not resist the desire of making him a present of them, and felt more than rewarded as she saw the boy's white teeth shining forth from their black neighbourhood, first in smiles at her, and then as they attacked the juicy fruit.
No matter, that joy was evident she wisht me one, and by the first opportunity my diligent waiting will be recompensed; but where hast thou been all this while? Guz. Finding out the Chimney-sweeper you spoke of, Sir, and whom you ordered me to bring this Evening. Car. And hast thou found him? Guz. Guz. Car.
