'Pretty, thinks I; 'so far so good. The way she whacked the pillers, shook the blankets, and pitched into the beds was a caution; specially one blunderin' old feather-bed that wouldn't do nothin' but sag round in a pigheaded sort of way, that would have made most girls get mad and give up.
The dead bodie of Angussell was conueied into Scotland, and was there buried. His corps was buried at Glastenburie aforesaid, in the churchyard, betwixt two pillers: where it was found in the daies of king Henrie the second, about the yeere of our Lord 1191, which was in the last yéere of the reigne of the same Henrie, more than six hundred yéeres after the buriall thereof.
Hemmerde's eldest, and Polly's first regular maidservant. "Don' care," repeated Johnny. "Ellen plays pillers." "Edn pays pidders," said the echo. Seizing two hot, pudgy hands Polly dragged the pair indoors though they held back mainly on principle.

Oh, what a kingdom! foretold by ages, begun on earth in that little rocky stable that December night in Bethlehem. And it is secure; it cannot be moved, its white pillers are enthroned in the secret chambers of the soul.
