'Hush! Meg, hush! hush! that's not safe talk. 'What does she mean? said Mannering to Sampson, in an undertone. 'Fire-raising, answered the laconic Dominie. 'Who, or what is she, in the name of wonder? 'Harlot, thief, witch, and gipsy, answered Sampson again.
"This to me!" said the angry spearman, "this to me and to my master Look to yourself then, Sir Priest, and try if Ave and Credo will keep bullocks from wandering, and hay-stacks from burning." "Dost thou menace the Holy Church's patrimony with waste and fire-raising," said the Sub-Prior, "and that in the face of the sun?
