All types of prose fiction were then too prone to deal with exceptional characters or unusual events. Even realists like Greene did not present typical Elizabethan life. He had been a traveling artisan, and he knew how to paint "the life and love of the Elizabethan workshop." He wrote The Gentle Craft, a collection of tales about shoemakers, and Jack of Newberry, a story of a weaver.
Even in his "serious" volumes of verse, there is much satire and saline humour; so that his delightful book of parodies, called and Other Poets is as spontaneous a product of his Muse as his utterances ex cathedra. The twenty-seven poems, called The Banquet of the Bards, with which the book begins, are excellent fooling and genuine criticism.
I never would have believed that Manley could be stingy actually stingy; but he is, unfortunately. I hate to speak of his faults, even to you. But I've got to be honest with you. It isn't nice to say that I'm writing, not for any particularly burning desire to express my thoughts, nor for the sentiment of it, but to earn money. It's terribly sordid, isn't it?" She smiled wistfully up at him.

The smoke of ages was on the walls and roof, and the tables and benches at one side had a sadly dilapidated appearance. The master was an Indian of lightish hue, his long, lank hair already turning grey with age, and perhaps with care.
While the doctor stopped, bewildered, the four men entered the town-hall and closed the door behind them. "They have outstripped us," muttered the physician, "we must now wait for reenforcements. There is nothing to do for the present." Lieutenant Picart now appeared on the scene. "The priest refuses to obey," he said. "He has even locked himself in the church with the sexton and beadle."
Even the comfort that your kind words gave me was incomplete, for you did not know the worst features of my cruelty. 'But have you had no respite, mother? Surely the intensity of this pain did not last, or it would have killed you. 'The crisis did pass, for, as you say, had it lasted in its most intense form, it would have killed me or sent me mad.
Turning to the organic world, even on the hypothesis of Mr. Herbert Spencer or that of Mr. Darwin, it is impossible to escape the conception of innate internal forces. With regard to the physiological units of the former, Mr. Spencer himself, as we have seen, distinctly attributes to them "an innate tendency" to evolve the parent form from which they sprang. With regard to the gemmules of Mr.
