The smell was a bit overpowering, but bearable if you surrounded yourself with the smell of your favorite tobacco.
Her cries brought every woman in the village to the spot, and solemn were the shakings of heads, and loud the recalling of prophecies that vengeance would soon overtake the wicked.

"Stand clear, ye warmints!" cries the coachman, elbowing his way among them and, remounting the box, he takes the whip and reins out of Mr. Jorrocks's hands, cries "All right behind? sit tight!" and off they go. The day was fine, and the hearts of all seemed light and gay.
Elbowing his way irresistibly through the ranks, he set himself squarely before Phineas, and, wagging his head significantly enough, growled out: "Say what you will of Castlemaine and the rest, Master Ranter, but keep your tongue off Nelly." A murmur of applause ran round. They knew Nelly: here in the Lane was her kingdom. "Let Nelly alone," said the porter, "if you value whole bones, master."
