Wilding at a table, with his writing-materials before him, and the crew were summoned, one by one, rough, piratical-looking fellows, contrasting strongly with the gewgaw cabin in which I received them.
The other sides were taken up by the fabric and gewgaw venders, while in the centre stood the platforms from which the auctioneers offered treasures from the Occident. Through a break in the foothills, the château was plainly discernible, the sea being obscured from view by the dense forest that crowned the cliffs.
This thing this phantom, be it what it will, I will see it once more. Since I spoke with her, and touched her hand, thoughts and feelings have dawned on me, of which my former life had not even dreamed; but shall I, who feel my father's glen too narrow for my expanding spirit, brook to be bearded in it by this vain gewgaw of a courtier, and in the sight too of Mary Avenel?
This gewgaw business has been established on the Ponte Vecchio for centuries, although, long since, it was an art of far higher pretensions than now.

She was young in years, But often in mid-spring will blighting winds Do autumn's work; and there is grief at heart Can do the work of years, can pale the cheek, And cloud the brow, and sober down the spirit. This gewgaw scene hath fewer charms for her Than for the crone, that numbering sixty winters, Pronounceth it all folly.
"To the Jew with the gewgaw, then!" shouted a thin, haggard female viciously, as she suddenly clutched at the young girl's kerchief, and with a mocking, triumphant laugh tore it from her bosom. This outrage seemed to be the signal for the breaking down of the final barriers which ordinary decency should have raised. The language and vituperation became such as no chronicler could record.
