By the side of this old lady jingled a bunch of keys, securing in different closets and corner-cupboards all sorts of cordial waters, cherry and raspberry brandy, washes for the complexion, Daffy's elixir, a rich seed-cake, a number of pots of currant jelly and raspberry jam, with a range of gallipots and phials and purges for the use of poorer neighbors.
Blandy quickly made it plain that Mary and her £10,000 were not to be had by any drug-compounding knave who might make sheep's eyes at her, and the apothecary returned to his gallipots for healing of his bruised affections. His place was taken by Mr.
There's never a stone on Pike Island, it's too swampy, and I'd forgot to bring my pocketful, as usual. The heaviest fish, look you, always lie among the sedge, hereabouts and thereabouts, and needs stirring, as your Tom knows well; so I chucked the gallipots fur from me, right and left, into the shallows, and thereby druv the pike upon my hooks.
'Half-a-dozen little gallipots, interposed Miss Wirt, the governess: 'he, he, he! and the young ladies laughed in chorus. 'We only live with the county families, Miss Wirt continued, tossing up her head. 'The Duke is abroad: we are at feud with the Carabases; the Ringwoods don't come down till Christmas: in fact, nobody's here till the hunting season positively nobody.
Compare his letter on parting from his friends at Edinburgh, quoted by Lady Holland: "All adieus are melancholy; and principally, I believe, because they put us in mind of the last of all adieus, when the apothecary, and the heir-apparent, and the nurse who weeps for pay, surround the bed; when the curate, engaged to dine three miles off, mumbles hasty prayers; when the dim eye closes for ever in the midst of empty pillboxes, gallipots, phials, and jugs of barley-water."
Charlotte had set an old remedy of her mother's steeping over the fire a harmless old-wives' decoction, with which to supplement the doctor's remedies, and give new courage to the patient's mind. Barney came to think that this remedy which Charlotte prepared was of more efficacy than any which the doctor mixed in his gallipots.
Give me a mouth with no special expression, and pop a dab of carmine at each extremity and there are the lips smiling. This is art if you will, but a very naive kind of art: and now you know the trick, don't you see how easy it is? TU QUOQUE. Now you know the trick, suppose you take a canvas and see whether YOU can do it? There are brushes, palettes, and gallipots full of paint and varnish.
"We will see," said Jeanie composedly; and going to the closet in which she kept her honey, her sugar, her pots of jelly, her vials of the more ordinary medicines, and which served her, in short, as a sort of store-room, she jangled vials and gallipots, till, from out the darkest nook, well flanked by a triple row of bottles and jars, which she was under the necessity of displacing, she brought a cracked brown cann, with a piece of leather tied over the top.
And all about, heaving and falling like the deep breathings of a slumbering monster, were the wide wastes of the sea. And how I wish that I could take you back with me and show you the two miserable old gallipots which M. de Radisson rode into the roaring forties!
Plato ingeniously compares Socrates to the gallipots of the Athenian apothecaries; the grotesque figures of owls and apes were painted on their exterior, but they contained within precious balsams.
