Twice Peter stood on his way home; the first time he slapped his leg and chuckled: "Sall, it was gey clever o' me; a hale kerridge o' Drumtochty lads, and no ane o' them ever hed a glint o' her." At the second stoppage he drew his hand across his eyes. "Puir lassie, a' houp her father 'ill be kind tae her, for she's sair broken, and looks liker deith than life."
EIGHTEEN HUNDRED; it came and found The Deacon's Masterpiece strong and sound. Eighteen hundred increased by ten; "Hahnsum kerridge" they called it then. Eighteen hundred and twenty came; Running as usual; much the same. Thirty and forty at last arrive, And then come fifty, and FIFTY-FIVE. Little of all we value here Wakes on the morn of its hundredth year Without both feeling and looking queer.

"Kerridge or no kerridge," said he, "they're good 'nough quality for me, and I reckon I knows what quality is.
Lancelot, my senior by two years, was the son of the worshipful Master Kerridge, Mayor of Lyme, and Dick's father was Mr Harvey, a man of considerable wealth and influence in the neighbourhood, brother-in-law of Mr Ceely, who had been made Governor of the town by the Parliament. Our fathers were Puritans and staunch Parliamentarians.
Women with children at their breasts, and mothers bowed with sorrow, had sought this city in their agony.

He thinks of stationary dwellings as Long Tom Coffin did of land in general; a house may be well enough for incidental purposes, but for a "stiddy" residence give him a "kerridge." If he is classified in the Linnaean scale, he must be set down thus: Genus Homo; Species Rotifer infusorius, the wheel-animal of infusions.
Satisfied that the priest had been placed at his mercy, the admiral, warning him for the future, sent him safely on shore. On the fleet reaching Cadiz, the admiral finding that he was expected to remain on the coast of Spain to wait for the Silver fleet, offered Mr Kerridge and his party a passage home in the Constant Warwick, by which he was sending off despatches.
A' doot he hed bin meddlin' wi' speerits, and they were wheelin' him tae his kerridge in a luggage barrow. It wes a fearsome sicht, and eneugh tae keep ony man frae speakin' aboot intoxicat in yon louse wy."
My man John, who used to drive two of those six equine females which I told you I had owned, for, look you, my friends, simple though I stand here, I am one that has been driven in his "kerridge," not using that term, as liberal shepherds do, for any battered old shabby-genteel go-cart which has more than one wheel, but meaning thereby a four-wheeled vehicle WITH A POLE, my man John, I say, was a retired soldier.
