But the mill and the loom were servile occupations, left altogether to slaves taken in battle, or purchased in the market-places of Britain. The task of the herdsman, like that of the farm-labourer, seems to have devolved on the bondsmen, while the quern and the shuttle were left exclusively in the hands of the bondswomen.
Aelia Capitolina, with its market-places and theatre, replaced the olden narrow-streeted town; a House of Venus reared its stately form in the north, and a Sanctuary to Jupiter covered, in the east, the site of the former Temple. Heathen colonists were introduced, and the Jew, who was to become in future centuries an alien everywhere, was made by Hadrian an alien in his fatherland.
Shady trees, standing for the most part by the stream, hung over our path, but would have made damp camping-grounds, and we rode on through a marsh, up one ridge, down the opposite side, and at last into the principal village of Sheshaoua, not far from which, on a hillside to the north-east, lay one of the familiar country market-places, with its collection of little shelters for the sellers, its upright branches on which to hang meat Thursday's market this.
They just amuse themselves or have some fad of pleasure-making like fast horses." "Such men ought never to have been born, sir. They only cumber the mills and the market-places, the courts of law and the courts of the church yes, even the wide spaces of the ocean." "Are you not a bit hard, Captain?" "No; I am not hard enough.

It must be given away, or shared, for it is wealth which carries with it a sense of social responsibility.

"No," I reply, "I do not; nor do I understand how anybody else, and least of all a really believing Christian, can either. To argue as some do, that Christianity should be treated as a sacred mystery, is to argue against the whole scheme of Christianity. It was Christ himself that rent the veil of the Temple, and brought religion down into the streets and market-places of the world.
I have traversed, for the seeming length of a natural day, Rome, Amsterdam, Paris, Lisbon their churches, palaces, squares, market-places, shops, suburbs, ruins, with an inexpressible sense of delight a map-like distinctness of trace and a day-light vividness of vision, that was all but being awake.
He pardoned the latter, but ardently wished that Heaven would bring the former under his power, that he might make him an example of justice. One day, as the young Sultan was passing through the market-places of the city in disguise, he perceived a stranger surrounded by a crowd, whom curiosity had attracted. They were admiring some diamonds and jewels of the most exquisite beauty.
