Thus the business of necessary purchases passed off cheerfully; and then what Norah termed the more interesting shops saddlers' and stationers' were visited, with a view to Christmas. Finally Jim brought the buggy from the hotel, and they picked up their lighter parcels. "Surely that's all?"
In the bazaars of the brass-workers and dealers in cotton goods, in the bazaars of the saddlers and of the leather-sellers, in short, throughout the Kaisariyah, where the most important trade of Marrakesh is carried on, the auctions of the afternoon are drawing to a close.
It was all very well for the neighborhood to patronize a Jack of all trades like me when there was nothing better to be had; but now you see there are lots of regular mechanics been gradually coming down and settling here carpenters and stone-masons and painters and glaziers and plumbers and tinners and saddlers and shoemakers, and what not.
The points of the tree should accurately fit the parts upon which they rest, so as to prevent any "wobbling" of the saddle. The upper crutch, or, as it is called by saddlers, the near head, is a more or less upright projection which is placed on the near side of the pommel, in order to give support to the rider's right leg.
Journeymen gilds existed among the saddlers, cordwainers, tailors, blacksmiths, carpenters, drapers, ironmongers, founders, fishmongers, cloth-workers, and armorers in London, among the weavers in Coventry, the tailors in Exeter and in Bristol, the shoemakers in Oxford, and no doubt in some other trades in these and other towns.
The tail consists of a swarm of frolicsome youngsters. But no these are the milk-boys, these young vagabonds! And behind them come the factory-girls and behind them it all begins again the pianoforte-makers, the millers, the saddlers, and the paper-hangers banners as far as one can see! How big and how gay the world is, after all! How many callings men pursue, so that work shall never fail them!
The oldest racing club in England, it still flourishes, and will in future hold its meetings near Salisbury. In 1695 King William III. came to Burford in order to influence the votes in the forthcoming parliamentary election. Macaulay tells us that two of the famous saddles were presented to this monarch, and remarks that one of the Burford saddlers was the best in Europe.
To facilitate the attainment of a "square seat," some saddlers incline the upper crutch a good deal towards the off side, and thus curtail the space between that crutch and the near side of the horse's shoulder and neck so much, that the rider is unable to get her right leg into proper position, and is consequently obliged to "hook it back."
So presently they all gave over the chase, and came back with the bag he had dropped as he ran; and were so well pleased with themselves for what they had done that they gave three cheers for all the Cloth-workers and Saddlers in London, and then three more for Cicely and Nick.
It always was my boast that I had the most complete kit in the world, and in spite of Charley's jeers at my lack of preparedness everybody here voted it the greatest ever seen. For the last ten days all the Jap saddlers, tent makers and tinsmiths have been copying it. TOKIO May 2, 1904. DEAR MOTHER: Today, we walked into our new house and tomorrow we will settle down there.
