At the outer extremity of each leaf the fruit is produced, about the size of a large plum, small towards the leaf and thicker at the other end, where it opens like a medlar. The fruit, which is also covered by small prickles, is green at first, but becomes red as it ripens, having a red pulp of the consistence of a thick syrup, with small black seeds, pleasant and cooling to the taste.
"Sir," said he, addressing himself to me, "your most humble servant. I hope you will forgive me, sir I must beg the favour to sit sir sir I have something of consequence to impart to my friend Mr. Medlar sir, I hope you will excuse my freedom in whispering, sir," Before I had time to give this complaisant person my permission, Mr.
So she turned her face to where she had seen those roofs, which now she saw no longer because of the thick leaves of the little trees, and so went along a narrow path, which grew to be more and more closely beset with trees, and were now no longer apple and pear and quince and medlar, but a young-grown thicket of woodland trees, as oak and hornbeam and beech and holly.
It was almost surrounded by wild fruit trees, which grow in great numbers in our forests: here were the sorb, or service tree, and the medlar, bending to the ground under the weight of their luxuriant fruit; intermingled with these waved the lofty and slender branches of the wild cherry, the berries of which, now ripe, and sweet as drops of honey, and black as polished jet, offered a delicious repast to clouds of little birds, that hopped chirruping from twig to twig: and lastly, I may mention a fine arbutus, which in its turn presented a tempting collation to the notice of many a hungry bullfinch.
"Man is like the medlar," he liked to tell them; "he is worth nothing until he has ripened a long time in the attic, on the straw." "L'homme est comme la nèfle, il n'est rien qui vaille S'il n'a mûri longtemps, au grenier, sur la paille." These humble companions afforded him the simple conversation which he likes so well; so natural, and so full of sympathy and common sense.
After having congratulated the doctor on his prospect, and read the papers, we repaired to an auction of pictures, where we entertained ourselves an hour or two; from thence we adjourned to the Mall, and, after two or three turns, went back to dinner, Banter assuring us, that he intended to roast Medlar at the ordinary; and, indeed, we were no sooner set than this cynic began to execute his purpose, by telling the old gentleman that he looked extremely well, considering the little sleep he had enjoyed last night.
"I never loved book-learnings over-much, and this morn I seem to hate them; read, you who are more scholarly." "I mistrust me of that great seal; it bodes us no good, Chris," she replied doubtfully, and paling a little. "The message within is no medlar to soften by keeping," said Emlyn. "Give it me. I was schooled in a nunnery, and can read their scrawls."
Passing out through the farm garden on his way to the lanes beyond, where he hoped to recapture the comfortable sense of peacefulness that was so lacking around house and hearth especially hearth Crefton came across the old mother, sitting mumbling to herself in the seat beneath the medlar tree.
Three months ago that man was one of our most respected City merchants. Now he's a bankrupt, and can't show his head. It was all rotten. A medlar! He tampered with documents; betrayed trusts. What do you think of him?" "What was it he did?" asked Emilia. Mr. Pole explained, and excused him; then he explained, and abused him. "He hadn't a family, my dear. Where did the money go?
People who made way for them to pass, turned to look at them. Washington began to feel that the eyes of the public were on him also, and his eyes rolled about, now towards the ceiling, now towards the floor, in an effort to look unconscious.
