''Tis nothing at all, said Landsmath; 'you must laugh at it; we shall hunt a stag together in four days. 'But suppose the blade was poisoned, said the King. 'Old grandams' tales, replied Landsmath; 'if it had been so, the waistcoats and flannels would have rubbed the poison off. The King was pacified, and passed a very good night. "His Majesty one day asked M. de Landsmath how old he was.
Fashion, however, has evidently more to do with the matter than convenience; for old wrinkled grandams wear these beautiful anomalies, and little girls of eight years old display protuberances that might excite the envy of a Broadway belle.
The young girls affect gay attire, and are exempt from the hardships of toil which are imposed on their elder sisters, mothers and grandams, but their fate is infinitely worse. Little beauty is to be discerned among them, and in this regard time seems to have effaced the types which were prevalent a few years ago.
Goliath, it will be remembered, was the son of the Moabitess Orpah, the sister-in-law of David's ancestress Ruth, and her sister as well, both having been the daughters of the Moabite king Eglon. David and Goliath differed as widely as their grandams, for in contrast to Ruth, the pious, religious Jewess, Orpah had led a life of unspeakable infamy.
Heaps of fruit and sweetmeats set half the grandams and infants in the place a-cackling with felicity. Mighty glad was I to make my escape; and in about an hour or two, we entered a wild tract of country, not unlike the skirts of a princely park.
