Looking at this map and sipping now and then a glass of spirits in his hand, was a gentleman humming away to himself "Merrily danced the Quaker's wife."
There was no meekness, no sorrow, in her face; the stuff out of which murderers are made, instead. All the time Haley and the woman were laying straight the limbs and cleaning the cell, Deborah sat still, keenly watching the Quaker's face. Of all the crowd there that day, this woman alone had not spoken to her, only once or twice had put some cordial to her lips.
Though the latter was "a well-made man and rather gross than thin," we are told he "exhibited in the most natural manner almost every species of deformity and dislocation; he could dislocate his vertebrae so as to render himself a shocking spectacle; he could also assume all the uncouth faces he had seen at a quaker's meeting, at the theatre, or any public place.
Since he was certain there were no private arms in the whole principality, he was a hundred times more certain there were none in the Quaker's little hermitage on the hill, where he lived on herbs, with two old rustic servants, and with no other voice of man for year after year. Prince Otto looked down with something of a grim smile at the bright, square labyrinths of the lamp-lit city below him.
There was nobody at table but her ladyship, Mr Boyd, and some of the children, their governour and governess. Mr Boyd put Dr Johnson in mind of having dined with him at Cumming the Quaker's, along with Mr Hall and Miss Williams: this was a bond of connection between them. For me, Mr Boyd's acquaintance with my father was enough.
"That her husband wills it, as he does not like to walk out with her in her Quaker's dress." "Is it not her duty to obey her husband, even as I obey my father, Susannah? but I am not ashamed to walk out with you in your dress; so if you have no objection, let me show you a part of this great city."
"Yea, and verily I do affirm the same smart lad good boy and so on." "I will not take a Quaker's affirmation will you take your oath, sir?" "Yes," replied Cophagus, forgetting his Quakership; "take oath bring Bible kiss book and so on." "You, then, as a Quaker, have no objection to swear to the identity of this person?" "Swear," cried Cophagus, "yes, swear swear now not Japhet!
Friends, he said, raising his voice as we approached them, 'who and what are you, and with what purpose are you here on my property? A loud cheer was the answer returned, and a brace of fiddlers who occupied the front of the march immediately struck up the insulting air, the words of which begin Merrily danced the Quaker's wife, And merrily danced the Quaker.
I have caught you, my dear colleague," cried Sulpice, very much amused at Pichereau's embarrassed air, his coat buttoned close like a Quaker's and his little eyes blinking behind his spectacles, and looking as sheepish as a sacristan caught napping. "Me?" stammered Pichereau. "Me? But my dear Minister, it's you yes, you whom I came expressly to seek!" "Here?" said Vaudrey. "Yes, here!" "Really?"
The lower mill stood where Hotham-street is now, which formerly was called Duncan-street. The mill occupied the site of the Quaker's school, which was pulled down to make room for the railway yard.
