He hated titles, trappings of rank and of distinction, ostentatious dress, shoe-buckles, hair-powder, pig-tails, and everything English, while he loved France and the philosophy of liberal thinkers; not a religious man, but an honest and true man.
The disbanded soldiers fly, the funeral has already vanished like its dead, and all people hurry homeward all that have a home while a few lounge by the corners or trudge on desperately at their leisure. In a narrow lane which communicates with the shady street I discern the rich old merchant putting himself to the top of his speed lest the rain should convert his hair-powder to a paste.
"Where did you hear the story?" "From Malaga; the notary is her milord." "What, Cardot, the son of that little old man in hair-powder, Florentine's first friend?" "Just so. Malaga, whose 'fancy' is a little tomtit of a fiddler of eighteen, cannot in conscience make such a boy marry the girl. Besides, she has no cause to do him an ill turn. Indeed, Monsieur Cardot wants a man of thirty at least.
The sting and poison of a nettle Vapour from Lobelia suffocative; unwholesomness of perfumed hair-powder Ruins of Palmira The poison-tree of Java Tulip roots die annually Hyacinth and Ranunculus roots Vegetable contest for air and light Some voluble stems turn E.S.W. and others W.S.E. Tops of white Bryony as grateful as asparagus Fermentation converts sugar into spirit, food into poison

Philip, in spite of himself, recovered and grew stronger; and as he grew stronger hunger took the place of loathing dislike to food.
Shirts, stockings, cravats, and waistcoats faced her in each. Two others, penned by the same hand, marked an expenditure scarcely more interesting, in letters, hair-powder, shoe-string, and breeches-ball. And the larger sheet, which had enclosed the rest, seemed by its first cramp line, "To poultice chestnut mare" a farrier's bill! She felt humbled to the dust.
I think the loss of the hair-powder afflicted her most; but she said not a word even about that. But in all this the details necessary for the telling of our story are anticipated. Mr Longestaffe had remained in London actually over the 1st of September, which in Suffolk is the one great festival of the year, before the letter was written to which allusion has been made.
This one's name is Nussler; an expectant Prussian Official, an adroit man, whom we shall meet again doing work. He has the nine shillings a day, without hair-powder or blacking, while employed here; at Berlin no constant salary whatever, had to "borrow 75 pounds for outfit on this business;" does a great deal of work without wages, in hope of effective promotion by and by.
