On approaching La Roche Canillac the road descended into a very deep valley by so many turns and windings that I was thankful to be in the pedlar's cart, especially as the mid-day sun smote with torrid strength. But the scenery was of exquisite beauty, and this valley will remain in my memory as one of the most charming I have ever seen.
'You must have behaved very well then', said Peter, the Pedlar's wife to the miller's boy, 'if he can write so about you now, for when you set off, he was so mad against you, he didn't know how to put you out of the way. So she married them on the spot, and set them up for themselves, with horses, and cattle, and household stuff, in the farm up under the hill.
Each guest took a large rummer glass of the sparkling beverage, which Peveril had judgment and experience enough to pronounce exquisite. "Give me your hand, sir," said Smith; "it is the first word of sense you have spoken this evening." "Wisdom, sir," replied Peveril, "is like the best ware in the pedlar's pack, which he never produces till he knows his customer."
Can you imagine his feelings deprived of his arrogant personality, his fame, his very identity, clothed in another man's dirty garments, wearing about his neck a clattering pedlar's outfit, upon his feet the clumsy boots of a peasant? Grimshaw the exquisite futurist, the daffodil, apostle of the aesthetic! He stood for a moment looking after Douglas Waram. Once, in a panic, he called.
Anthony, however, having noticed the earnestness which marked the Pedlar's manner, suspected him of attempting to corrupt the principles of his daughter, having forgotten the influence which his own opinions were calculated to produce upon her heart.
"As yet, I know not; I must suit it to the times and to the persons I encounter; a pedlar's will do me best at present; a pack is a fitting nook for concealment. Dear Captain, look well to Jeromio; he never meant you honest."
I say! why are you beating the pedlar's donkey like that? 'The pedlar should keep him from eating my cabbages, said Nur Mahomed; 'if he comes this evening here again I'll cut off his tail for him! Whereupon he went off indoors, whistling cheerfully.
Now and again he even assisted at some of the medical operations which his father conducted as a charity. Once he pulled a tooth out from a pedlar's head, and Vassily Ivanovitch never ceased boasting about the extraordinary feat. One day in a neighbouring village, the news was brought them that a peasant had died of typhus.
"Ah, there is not much light for the old pedlar's eyes now!" "Dost thou miss me, my father?" "Miss thee! Ah, my darling, how little thou knowest. The sun has gone down, and the heavens are covered with clouds." "Was my mother very angry after I went away?" It was not natural to speak of Licorice by any other name. "Don't mention it, Belasez!
Brodie, the amateur, courted the society of all cross coves, and would rather express himself in Pedlar's French than in his choicest Scots. While the Englishman scraped Tate and Brady from a one-stringed fiddle, the Scot limped a chaunt from The Beggar's Opera, and thought himself a devil of a fellow.
