Chimney-sweepers, quite as well dressed as those that appear upon the stage, carried an ornamented chimney, at the top of which was perched one of the smallest of their fraternity. The chairmen carried a sedan highly gilt, in which were to be seen a handsome nurse and a little Dauphin. The butchers made their appearance with their fat ox. Cooks, masons, blacksmiths, all trades were on the alert.
They halted when they had gone half-way, and remained for the night. The next day at noon, Don Rebiera and his family were once more in their palazzo, and our two midshipmen and Mesty took their leave, and repaired on board to make themselves a little less like chimney-sweepers. Captain Wilson was not out of the ship.
This is the reception given by the President to any one whom the Convention wish particularly to distinguish. On an occasion of the sort, the fraternal embrace was given to an old Negress. The honours of the fitting are also daily accorded to deputations of fish-women, chimney-sweepers, children, and all whose missions are flattering.
"Oh, Sophy, don't you come don't look at me; you'll despise me." "My brother! where? where?" said Sophy, looking, as she thought, at the two chimney-sweepers. "It's Frederick," said Marianne: "that's my brother." "Miss Sophy, don't be alarmed," Mrs. Theresa began; "but gracious goodness! I wish Miss Bertha "
My aunt further expressed her opinion, 'that if our military friend would cut off those butterflies, and give 'em to the chimney-sweepers for May-day, it would look like the beginning of something sensible on her part. But her abiding reliance was on Mr. Dick.
Once there was a general start, and the whole five came together at the sight of a spectrally black apparition, with a huge tufted head on high, bearing down over a low hedge upon them. Nobody screamed except Nuttie, but everybody started, though the next moment it was plain that they were only chimney-sweepers on their way.
Frequently, houses which had swarmed with hard working laborers, were obliged to be shut up for want of tenants; in one day, they had been completely cleared by this terrible visitation, from the cellars, where little chimney-sweepers slept upon straw, to the garret, on whose cold brick floor lay stretched some wan and half-naked being, without work and without bread.
Almost the most shining lines in English poetry lines that cast sunrise shadows are those of Blake, written confessedly from the side of night, the side of sorrow and dreams, and those dreams the dreams of little chimney-sweepers; all is as dark as he can make it with the "bags of soot"; but the boy's dream of the green plain and the river is too bright for day.
Then we had our toasts "The King," the "Cloth," which, whether they understood or not, was equally diverting and flattering; and for a crowning sentiment, which never failed, "May the Brush supersede the Laurel!" Golden lads and lasses must. As chimney-sweepers, come to dust JAMES WHITE is extinct, and with him these suppers have long ceased.
"Chimney-sweepers! and could not you say so a little sooner? Pray, what brings you here, gentlemen, at this time of night?" "The bell rang, ma'am,", answered a squeaking voice. "The bell rang! yes, for Christopher. The boy's mad, or drunk."
