'What a demd rum fellow you are, Nickleby, said the gentleman, 'the demdest, longest-headed, queerest-tempered old coiner of gold and silver ever was demmit.
Charlemagne was an honest coiner and a protector of foreign traders; he was tolerant of the Jews, the only capitalists of the time, and under him Paris became the "market of the peoples," and Venetian and Syrian merchants sought her shores. Pierre was subsequently enriched by the possession of the body of St.
But in a few days Mary had consented. They had left the village at midnight, and were married in London. Within a year George Hawker had spent all his wife's money, and had told her to her face he was tired of her. He fell from bad to worse, and finally becoming the ally of a coiner, was arrested and transported for life. Mary Hawker, with a baby, tramped her way home to the village she had left.
But if the first reported aboriginal crime has been attended with impunity, how much more does the imitative faculty cling to it. Ill- judged mercy falls, not like dew, but like a great heap of manure, on the rank deed. Now it happened that at the time I write of, or rather a little before, there had been detected and tried in Paris a most redoubted coiner.
The hound suddenly crouched, the moment it fairly reached the figure of the new coiner, and instead of the hostile attitude, it had so lately he assumed, now placed its fore paws upon the breast of the person, and wagged its tail with evident tokens of pleasure at the meeting. "That is a very strange way to enter the Plato," said Isabella, to her brother, drawing nearer to his side as she spoke.
The reason is, that the necessity to write as he does is so great that a strong barrier a chevaux-de-frise of pen points must be raised against every newly minted word and hazardous coiner, or we shall be inundated. If he can leap the barrier he and his goods must be admitted. So it has been with our greatest, so it must be with the rest of them, or we shall have a Transatlantic literature.
Let the coiner be ever so clever at his art, in the coining of enthusiasm the sound of true gold can never be imparted to the false metal. And I doubt whether the cleverest she in the world can make false enthusiasm palatable to the taste of man. To the taste of any woman the enthusiasm of another woman is never very palatable. We understood at Home that Mrs.
"Neither a borrower nor a lender be: For loan oft loses both itself and friend," Why, Polonius is a coiner of commonplaces, and if ever there were a well-known reflection from experience it is this of the borrowers and lenders.
There is no false coiner who hath not some accomplices and emissaries ready to take from his hand and put off his money; and such slanderers at second hand are scarce less guilty than the first authors. He that breweth lies may have more wit and skill, but the broacher showeth the like malice and wickedness.
"It was three times a week, I think." "Well, it doesn't matter. Here we are." Jennings opened the garden gate and walked boldly up the path towards the silent house.

There was no answer for a few minutes. He rang again.
