The main reason for this is, no doubt, that almost all the leaders of the movement in French, starting with De Coster and Lemonnier, up to the contemporary period of Verhaeren and Maeterlinck, are of Flemish extraction, and that their best works are imbued with Flemish traditions and Flemish temperament.
Coster has the reputation among those who know him of being a thoroughly honourable and straight-forward gentleman.
Her name has a homelier sound, and her speciality is the delineation of coster character. I fear I must be of a somewhat gruesome turn of mind. My sympathies are always with the melancholy side of life and nature.
Victor had something chivalrous in his language and manners which spoke greatly in his favour; he conveyed no bad idea of one of the Fiesco conspirators, or of those leaders of the Fronds who intermingled gallantry with their politics. An anecdote to this effect was current about the period of the trial. Coster St.
He looked back and saw what he expected: the barrow overturned; the flowers scattered, the donkey surprised out of its drowsiness, thrown on its back and kicking in its harness; the coster straddling the sudden ruin and calling down all the rigors of the law.
Jameson then ordered Willoughby, who was present from the moment that I arrived, to command the subordinate officers to disarm the men, and thereupon the arms were given up. H.P. MALAN, Commandant. Sworn before me on this the 9th day of March, 1896. H.J. COSTER, State Attorney and ex-oficio J.P. I asked one of Jameson's troopers where he was.
Finally my colleague at the other end gently signalled that of my uncle, followed by the sympathetic remark: "Sorry, old man." I could write no more. What, my uncle dead!

Within a week reinforcements were despatched from our district.
Sensations of his long and restless career in New York flashed through his mind as he impaled Hannah's sausages in the curious parlour the hysteric industry of his girl-typist, the continuous hot-water service in the bedroom of his glittering apartment at the Concord House, youthful nights at Coster and Bial's music-hall, an insanely extravagant dinner at Sherry's on his thirtieth birthday, a difficulty once with an emissary of Pinkerton, the incredible plague of flies in summer.
R.W. English, that the unpleasantness between Lincoln and Shields in 1842 was amicably settled and a duel prevented. From the Civil War collection of Mr. Robert Coster. Edward Dickinson Baker was born in London, February 24, 1811. In his infancy his parents emigrated to America, and his father became a teacher at Philadelphia.
From the children, his good influence extended to the parents; and it was an almost every-day occurrence for visitors from the slums to burst into the school to fetch the master to some coster who was "a-killin' his woman." The brawny young giant would dive into the courts where the police go in couples, clamber ricketty stairs, and "interview" the fighting pair.
