I don't know how it is here, but on the coast of England, off Yarmouth, the herring shoals have been known to be six and seven feet deep with fish." "That is prodigious, indeed," said Lambert, "but you know your herring is derived from the German heer, an army, on account of a way the fish have of coming in large numbers." Soon afterward, while passing a cobbler's shop, Ben exclaimed, "Halloo!
Their occasional rap at the pegs diversifies the stitchings and is often happily timed to settle an internal argument. Seek in a village for information concerning the village or the state of mankind, you will be less disappointed at the cobbler's than elsewhere, it has been said. As Gower had anticipated, with lively feelings of pleasure, Mr.
I warrant we will bring his wits back to him again when we get him safe before our good Bishop at Tutbury Town." Thereupon they tied the Cobbler's hands behind him, and led him off with a rope, as the farmer leads off the calf he hath brought from the fair.
Notwithstanding these precautions, the cobbler's dog, which had been watching them all the while out of the corner of one eye, was often too quick for them. Man and dog were ludicrously alike both in appearance and character.
He pulled himself together, and satisfied himself that all his miseries arose from his labors over this wretched cobbler's wax; besides, there was such a temptation to compare his puddle of cobbler's wax with the hell in which he was told he would be tormented. But then he heard the cheerful voice of the young shoemaker in the yard outside, and the whole trouble disappeared.
The other was: "When through the desert roved the Jews, Their shoes for forty years they wore, Were the same custom now in use, 'Prentice would ne'er seek cobbler's door." On the ridge of the lofty house was the stork's nest, now empty. The red-billed guests did not usually set out on their journey to the south so early, and some were still in Leyden, standing on the roofs as if lost in thought.
When the Cobbler happened to fall sick himself of a serious illness, the Governor of the town determined to test his skill. For this purpose he called for a cup, and while filling it with water, pretended to mix poison with the Cobbler's antidote, commanding him to drink it on the promise of a reward.
The speaker drew her brown skin into a network of wrinkles. "Where'd she find 'im?" Lafe burst forth, "Of course he can't stay " Mrs. Grandoken checked the cobbler's words with a rough gesture. "Hush a minute! She got 'im over near the plank walk on the hill he was cryin' for 'is ma." Lafe was plainly agitated.
In this place every boss has a right to attack his neighbour if he doesn't do as all the others wish. What a cowardly gang!" As he spoke, Roberto blanched with rage; then he grew calm and asked Petra: "Where are you going to take Manuel now?" "To a cobbler's shop that belongs to a relative of mine on Aguila street." "Is it in the poorer quarters?" "Yes." "I'll come to see you some day."
Cooks and housemaids presented one another with knitted bags and purses; the cobbler's daughter embroidered "neck-cushions" for her friend the butcher's daughter. These were made up by the upholsterer at great expense, lined with white satin; the upper part, on which the back rested, being wrought with gold, silver, and pearls. But we must no longer delay the reader by our gossip.
