Thus by the Englishmen was brent, exiled, robbed, wasted and pilled the good, plentiful country of Normandy. Then the French king sent for the lord John of Hainault, who came to him with a great number: also the king sent for other men of arms, dukes, earls, barons, knights and squires, and assembled together the greatest number of people that had been seen in France a hundred year before.
The king goeth incached, as they do all; he doth not remaine in a place aboue fiue or sixe dayes: he hath many houses, but they be but litle: his guard is but small: he remooueth from one house to another according to their order. All the pepper of Calicut and course cinamom groweth here in this countrey. The best cinamom doth come from Ceylon, and is pilled from fine yoong trees.
Indeed, such a pitch had they reached that when that gallant officer put himself forward as a candidate for a certain select club, he had, although proposed by a lord and seconded by a baronet, been most ignominiously pilled. In public the major affected to laugh over this social failure, and to regard it as somewhat in the nature of a practical joke, but privately he was deeply incensed.
"Put two game-cocks in a pen and then ask again. It's a club, my boy, and so they think every other man a rogue or a fool." "And do they pay much for the privilege?" "That depends on the airs they give themselves. I've been pilled for half the clubs in town and so, I suppose, I'm rather a decent sort of chap.
He marked the villages blackened by fire, and the houses of God stripped bare as a peasant's hovel. The heathen pilled and wasted, but gathered neither corn into barns nor cattle within the byre. He testified that this should not endure, so he returned in safety from the battle.
After this we entered into conversation and he told me among other things that, when he had been pilled for a sporting club in Paris, he had revenged himself by buying the club and the site upon which it was built, to which I observed: "You must be very rich." He asked me where I had lived and seemed surprised that I had never heard of him. The next time we met each other was in Paris.
Yet upon my little acre you intrude. I am Naboth." Ahab straightened his back; sighed heavily. Naboth started against the prick of a sudden recollection: "I had forgotten. Your examination?" George half turned away. The bitterest moment of a sad day was come. He growled: "Pipped." "Pipped?" "Pilled." "Pilled?" "Spun." "Spun?" "Three months." Mr. Marrapit put his hands to his head: "I shall go mad.
The damp unwholesome dungeon, intended for his destruction, crowned him with peculiar honour, because, as in his Patmos, he there wrote his immortal book. Ed. Pill, to rob; poll, to exact, to extort. 'The church is pilled and polled by its own flocks. South, Ser. 11. v. 5. Ed.
"That's Wilmot Edge Sir Randolph's brother." "Oh, the deuce it is. I thought he'd been pilled." Blackballs also were an embarrassing subject; Neeld sipped his Apollinaris nervously. You know the rest of the story. It was a near run for young Harry Tristram! How is the boy, Iver?" "The boy's very much of a man indeed; we don't talk about the near run before him." Southend laughed.
Then the people began to depart, specially the commons of the villages, and went to the same place: but all went not thither, for they were not all of one condition; for there were some that desired nothing but riches and the utter destruction of the noblemen and to have London robbed and pilled; that was the principal matter of their beginning, the which they well shewed, for as soon as the Tower gate opened and that the king was issued out with his two brethren and the earl of Salisbury, the earl of Warwick, the earl of Oxford, sir Robert of Namur, the lord of Vertaing, the lord Gommegnies and divers other, then Wat Tyler, Jack Straw and John Ball and more than four hundred entered into the Tower and brake up chamber after chamber, and at last found the archbishop of Canterbury, called Simon, a valiant man and a wise, and chief chancellor of England, and a little before he had said mass before the king.
