From a proclamation issued in 1631, against clandestine trade to and from India, we learn the different articles which might be legally exported and imported: the first were the following: perpalicanos and drapery, pewter, saffron, woollen stockings, silk stockings and garters, ribband, roses edged with silver lace, beaver hats with gold and silver bands, felt hats, strong waters, knives, Spanish leather shoes, iron, and looking glasses.
Then he laid it down again and took the thicker end, which was tied tightly with a ribband, in his hands, pulling at the short lengths of hair which projected beyond the knot. They broke very easily, with an odd, soft snap. "It is worth nothing at all," said the barber decisively. "It is a pity, for it is a very pretty colour."
Sir G. Mac sat last night at supper between Lady Bute and his future, who by the way is laide a faire peur. I was asking Lady Carlisle which was the most likely, some years ago, to have a Blue Ribband, du beau-pere et du gendre. Little Harry is not come to town. Sir Charles goes down into the country next week, but not Lady Sarah that I know of. I expect Hemmins every hour with the St. Andrew.
How interesting it must have been to see that ribband of blue carried by the farmer into the field, by the merchant to his place of business, by the maid-servant into the innermost parts of the dwelling, when performing her daily duties. Is it less important that the Christian of today, called to be a witness for CHRIST, should be manifestly characterised by His spirit?
Oldbuck opened a drawer of the cabinet of his ancestor Aldobrand, and produced a bundle of papers tied with a black ribband, and labelled, Examinations, etc., taken by Jonathan Oldbuck, J. P., upon the 18th of February, 17 ; a little under was written, in a small hand, Eheu Evelina!
'I should think so, if I were at the end of the thread! 'You would not suppose it, Miss Kennedy, said Rollo; 'but the "Thread of Destiny" is a silk ribband. The destiny is not therefore always silken. 'Much you know about it! said Kitty. 'I just wish I could see you thoroughly wound up for once, with Bell Powder and two or three other people. 'Wych Hazel was growing rather weary of the talk.
Heaven had put on all its glories across its silent breast was bound the milk-white ribband, its crest was crowned with God's crown-jewels, the great northern stars, its mighty form was robed in the mantle of majesty set with the diamonds of suns and worlds, great and small, far and near not one tiny spark of all the myriad million gems was darkened by a breath of wind-blown mist.
He could also write a letter to his wife, a sort of anticipatory Christmas letter, and send her the book he had bought as a little gift, wrapping it in nice white paper first, tied with a bit of pale green ribband which she had left behind her, and which he had cherished nearly a year, and marking it "to be opened on Christmas morning"; and the parcel should then be done up securely in good brown grocer's paper and addressed to her, and even registered, so that it could not possibly be lost.
The old wolf's skin was hung over one shoulder, and she carried besides a limp-looking brown paper parcel, tied with a bit of folded ribband. As he caught sight of her face in the light of the street lamp, Schmidt fancied that she was paler than before, and that her cheek was wet. "I am sorry I was so long," she said. "The little sister cried because I would not stay, and I had to quiet her.
For several minutes he stood in silence admiring the moonlit landscape; then he spoke as if to himself: "Not a cloud in the purple depths, no breath of air, no sound nor stir of life peace absolute that mocks at man's cares and restlessness.
