'What the devil business has he to stop up so late! muttered Sim, passing into the workshop, and setting it down upon the forge. 'Here's half the night gone already. There's only one good that has ever come to me, out of this cursed old rusty mechanical trade, and that's this piece of ironmongery, upon my soul!
There I lay amid the most vociferous mirth I ever listened to, under the confounded torrent of ironmongery that half-stunned me.
According to this article France was a foreign country for the Hanseatic Towns, and none of the objects enumerated in this article ought to enter Hamburg! But the town received from England a large quantity of fine cloths, buttons; ironmongery, toys, china; and from France only clocks, bronzes, jewellery, ribbons, bonnets, gauzes and gloves.
I don't mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a door-nail.

I have to inform you that from my youth I have chiefly engaged in the dry goods business, ironmongery, grocery, etc., and have a general knowledge of trade. I am of industrious habits and with an active turn of mind, and together with my wife, I may justly say, few will be found more useful and desirous of acting for the general good.
It would purchase muskets and powder and ball, cloth and ironmongery and strong liquors from the white men of the settlements. The chief discussed it with his followers. During the lull Joe Hawkridge said, with a long sigh of relief: "My scalp itches not so much, Jack. The notion of having it twisted off with a dull blade vexed me. Ye did wondrous well.
Cannot someone tell them they are out of date, with their bits of feathers and their odds and ends of ironmongery grown men that cannot be sent out for a walk unless accompanied by a couple of nursemen, blowing a tin whistle and tapping a drum out of a toy shop to keep them in order and prevent their running about: one might think they were chickens.
