I would rather make use of them to praise Mr. Jenkins's general kindness and hospitality to all his country-folks, who find a certain friend in him; and if they please, a very competent instructor. In order however to understand the meaning of some spherical pots observed in the Circus of Caracalla, I chose above all men to consult Mr.
She still worked for Monsieur Rivet at the more elaborate kinds of gold-trimming, merely, as she said, not to lose her time. At the same time, she was, as we shall see, very full of business; but it is inherent in the nature of country-folks never to give up bread-winning; in this they are like the Jews. Every morning, very early, Cousin Betty went off to market with the cook.
And most especially when the Child is wean'd, and the Wet-Nurse turn'd away, the Maid cannot let it penetrate into her brain; that she now not only the whole week must rock, sing, dandle, dress, and walk abroad with it; but that she is upon Sundaies also bound to the Child, like a Dog to a halter; and never can stir out, as she formerly did, to walk abroad with Giles the Baker, or John True the Tailor; nor so much as go once to give a visit to her Country-folks or kindred; which occasions no small difference between the Maid and the Mistriss.
"A pretty piece of rusticity domestic Arcadia on a small scale," said John; "I should like to invite myself to tea with them. Who can they be?" "Probably visitors.

"The way to get along in the country," replies a little retired grocer, "is to stay there, to live there, to become country-folks, and then everything changes." On going home, Caroline says to her poor Adolphe, "What an idea that was of yours, to buy a country house! The best way to do about the country is to go there on visits to other people."
Then the master came in, one of Nature's gentlemen, if ever any existed stalwart, sunburnt to the complexion of an Arab, with a frank, manly, shrewd face.
