But by the end of the sixteenth century, as by the end of the nineteenth, there was a moving of the waters: the Renascence of ancient learning had itself brought into English use thousands of learned words, from Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, and other languages, 'ink-horn terms, as they were called by Bale and by Puttenham, unknown to, and not to be imbibed from, mother or grandmother.
He wore a tight green waistcoat, a red silk flowing robe over it, while a handsome sash bound his waist, in which was stuck an ink-horn, a wand, a huge knife or dagger, a pistol, and several other articles. Altogether, he was a somewhat formidable-looking character.
And there is a stronger reason, added my uncle Toby, than them all for the ox. My father had not power to take his pen out of his ink-horn, till he had heard my uncle Toby's reason. For when the ground was tilled, said my uncle Toby, and made worth inclosing, then they began to secure it by walls and ditches, which was the origin of fortification.
I begun thus Vol. But in this clear climate of fantasy and perspiration, where every idea, sensible and insensible, gets vent in this land, my dear Eugenius in this fertile land of chivalry and romance, where I now sit, unskrewing my ink-horn to write my uncle Toby's amours, and with all the meanders of Julia's track in quest of her Diego, in full view of my study window if thou comest not and takest me by the hand
O ladies, who have drawing-rooms in which the things are pretty, good, and dear to you, think of what it would be to have two bailiffs rummaging among them with pen and ink-horn, making a catalogue preparatory to a sheriff's auction; and all without fault or extravagance of your own!

"No, no," shouted Tom Oates, "'twas for making away with the Communion things." "I heard the red coat say they had a warrant against scandalous ministers," declared Ralph Wilkes. "I heard the man with the pen and ink-horn ask for the popish vessels, as he called them, and not a word would the parson say," said Oates.
George III once asked in wonderment how the apples get inside the dumplings. How can a critic criticise a creator? The man who looks on writing things about the man who does things. But he criticises and artists owe him much. Neither in "ink-horn terms" nor in an "upstart Asiatic style" need the critic voice his opinions. He must be an artist in temperament and he must have a credo.
"But is that all?" cried the little man, and, without more ado, he turned to his writing-table and drew a printed form from among the chaos of documents. "His name?" he asked indifferently, as he dipped his quill in the ink-horn and scratched his signature at the foot of it. "An aristocrat," said Caron, with some slight hesitancy. "Eh?" And the arched brows drew together for an instant.
The Captain went out into the store, and ten minutes afterwards re-entered the shop and shouted, "Come out here, Cyril, and lend a hand. We are going to take those measurements. Bring out your ink-horn, and a bit of paper to put them down as we take them." The yard was some sixty feet long by twenty-five broad, exclusive of the space occupied by the warehouse.
