Thus presently I espied a forlorn figure afar off, crouched beneath a tree, a strange, wild figure that tossed a knife from hand to hand and laughed and chattered 'twixt his shouting. "Ahoy, Jerry, I'm all adrift where be you? I'm out o' my soundings, lad 'tis me 'tis Dick your old messmate as drank many a pint wi' you alongside Deptford Pool Ahoy, Jeremy!"
Jeremy, I shouldn't have put on my lilac-and-pink for Gertrude to see; she likes me just as well in my old yellow, if she did tell me, when I bought it, the saucy girl, that I'd selected the ugliest cap in Boston. Do you remember that Gerty?" Gerty laughed heartily at the recollection of an amusing scene that took place when she went shopping with Mrs. Jeremy.
He said once to Mary that she should imitate Charlotte, and the scene that followed was terrible. Mary, from that moment, hated Charlotte with an overpowering hatred. Here this year they were again. Mrs. There was again a tea-party at Cow Farm, and on this occasion Jeremy was asked to show Hamlet. But Hamlet behaved badly, trying to jump upon Charlotte's white frock and soil her blue ribbons.
The poor nag replied with all his power to the call upon his courage, and reared his forefeet out of the slough, and with straining eyeballs gazed at him. 'Now, said Jeremy, 'now, my fine fellow! lifting him with the bridle, and the brave beast gathered the roll of his loins, and sprang from his quagmired haunches.
"To ransom captives and enrich the meaner folk is a nobler form of generosity than providing wild beasts or shows of gladiators to amuse the mob". Charity should begin at home; for relations and friends hold the first place in our affections; but the circle of our good deeds is not to be narrowed by the ties of blood, or sect, or party, and "our country comprehends the endearments of all". We should act in the spirit of the ancient law "Thou shalt keep no man from the running stream, or from lighting his torch at thy hearth". Our liberality should be really liberal, like that charity which Jeremy Taylor describes as "friendship to all the world".
In the upper portion of the Vale of Towy is the Golden Grove, a seat of the Earl of Cawdor, a modern Elizabethan structure. Here lived Jeremy Taylor, having taken refuge there in the Civil War, and he here wrote some of his greatest works. Beyond Caermarthenshire is Pembrokeshire, forming the western extremity of the Welsh peninsula.
"In talking politics, for instance," suggested Mrs. Jeremy. "It's your differences with him on politics that have set you against him so." "No, it isn't," replied the doctor. "A man may get angry talking politics, and be a good-natured man too. I get angry myself on politics, but that isn't the sort of thing I refer to.
Stare not at me so, thou fool; thou art big enough to eat me; read, read, read." "If you please, sir, what is your name?" I asked; though why I asked him I know not, except from fear of witchcraft. "Jeremy Stickles is my name, lad, nothing more than a poor apparitor of the worshipful Court of King's Bench. And at this moment a starving one, and no supper for me unless thou wilt read."
The great actor may sink to sleep, soothed by the memory of the tears or laughter he has evoked, and wake to find the day far advanced, whose close is to witness the repetition of his triumph; but the great man will lie tossing and turning as he reflects on the seemingly unequal war he is waging with stupidity and prejudice, and be tempted to exclaim, as Milton tells us he was, with the sad prophet Jeremy: 'Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me, a man of strife and contention!
The solid oak burst with the blow, and the gun stuck fast, like a builder's putlog. But here I looked round in vain for any one to come and follow up my success. The scanty light showed me no figure moving through the length of the tunnel behind me; only a heavy groan or two went to my heart, and chilled it. So I hurried back to seek Jeremy, fearing that he must be smitten down.
