Some of his smuggling comrades, I believe; we must ride slowly to give him time to send them packing. 'Did you see any of your friends? said Cristal. 'Three, and have letters from many more. They are unanimous on the subject you wot of and the point must be conceded to them, or, far as the matter has gone, it will go no further.
'Judiciously resolved, said the person whom this decision affected; 'but before you go, I trust you will drink and be friends? 'Why, said the Justice, rubbing his brow, 'our business has been hem rather a thirsty one. 'Cristal Nixon, said Mr. Herries, 'let us have a cool tankard instantly, large enough to quench the thirst of the whole commission.
Hereunto also belong all Visions and Appearances performed by Water, Glasses, Cristal, or other means, as also those done by Sigils and Characters, which yet are so various, some being only Natural, yet affording Supernatural appearances or sights; but the others which are performed by Conjurations, are neither Natural nor Supernatural, but Diabolical, belonging unto Sorcery, and are prohibited all good Christians; so likewise all those Means which oppose Holy Writ, Gods Word and Commandments, are to be rejected and refuted by true Natural Cabalists; I say this, because a certain distinction and sure order ought to be found of the Natural, Supernatural, Unnatural things.
The situation of Darsie was indeed something awkward; for Cristal Nixon, out of caution perhaps to prevent escape, had muffled the extreme folds of the riding-skirt with which he was accoutred, around his ankles and under his feet, and there secured it with large corking-pins.

Your pocket-book was in the pocket of your coat, and did not escape the curiosity of another, though it would have been sacred from mine, My servant, Cristal Nixon, brought me the intelligence after you were gone.
Cristal Nixon may say his worst on thee; but thou art a civil gentleman for all him; and a quoit man wi' woman folk loike. There is no sense in being too quiet with women folk, so I added a kiss with my crown piece; and I cannot help thinking that I have secured a partisan in Dorcas.
'In the name of God, said I, 'how is it that you propose to get my letter to the post? 'Why, just to put it into Squire's bag loike, reiterated Dorcas; 'he sends it by Cristal Nixon to post, as you call it, when such is his pleasure.
While he thus mused, unable either to eat, drink, or answer to the courtesy of Lilias, she soon ceased to speak to him, and sat silent as himself.
