There was no other craft within a mile of the vessel that was moving up the bay toward the more open water. "There you are, my dear," leered the fishwife. "All nice and snug and comfortable."

"That is why this old woman wanted us to come to her hut." "There's some one now!" exclaimed the man, leaning up from having put a cord around Amy's ankles as she lay on a sand hill. "If it isn't some one she's brought by her yells," snarled the fishwife. "No, it's Jake, thank goodness!" muttered the man, as a rough-looking specimen, the counterpart of himself, peered around a dune.
The inquiry at first was painful, and half convinced me of the truth of manicheism; but deeper research taught me that the errors of man do not originate in the perversity of his nature, but of his ignorance. These however were most of them after thoughts, for Glibly did not allow us any long pause. 'Yonder, in the green boxes, said he, 'I perceive Mrs. Fishwife, the actress.
I pity him, an auld, auld man; and his dochter had rin off wi' a Christian lad they ca' her Jessica, and didn't she steal his very diamond ring that his ain lass gied him when he was young, an' maybe no sae hard-hairted?" Jean Carnie. "Oh, the jaud! suppose he was a Jew, it was na her business to clean him oot." A young Fishwife. "Aweel, it was only a Jew body, that's my comfort." Christie.
I remember as if it were this morning a Harvie fishwife patting your head and asking who was your sweetheart, and I could never thole the woman again. We were at the door of the cottage, and I mind I gripped you up in my arms. You had on a tartan frock with a sash and diamond socks. When I look back, Gavin, it seems to me that you have shot up from that frock to manhood in a single hour."
Lady Sophy still continued to be for the greater part of the year her constant companion. Occasionally, they looked in upon Mr Jamieson, the minister, and his blind niece, Miss O'Reilly. They did not forget either the old fishwife, the Widow O'Neil. Whenever they saw her, they did not fail to inquire about her son; but she shook her head, with a melancholy look.
"A vulgar termagant" the General indicated that would do "who would call her husband an idiot aloud before a dinner-table, and quarrel like a fishwife with people in his presence. "Why, he daren't call his soul his own; he belonged to the kirk, you know, and there was a Scotch padre, but she marched him off to our service, and if you had seen him trying to find the places in the Prayer-book.
"Well, monsieur," cried the fishwife, entering Cerizet's den with a face as much inflamed by cupidity as by the haste of her movements, "my uncle sleeps on more than a hundred thousand francs in gold, and I am certain that those Perraches, by dint of nursing him, have smelt the rat." "Shared among forty heirs that won't be much to each," said Cerizet.
This Thenardier female was like the product of a wench engrafted on a fishwife. When one heard her speak, one said, "That is a gendarme"; when one saw her drink, one said, "That is a carter"; when one saw her handle Cosette, one said, "That is the hangman." One of her teeth projected when her face was in repose.
For Peter Koch lived round the corner in the Kleine Schmiedegasse, and of course well, it is only neighbourly to take an interest in those who drink milk from the same cow and buy wood from the same Jew.
