Now, as you cannot cruise with your friend Spicer on the Spanish Main, nor yet be safe from impressment in a privateer or merchantman, we have been thinking that, perhaps, you would have no objection to be a channel and river pilot; and if so, I have an old friend in that service, who, I think, may help you. What do you say?" "I should like it very much."
That comedy young Rondelet must have seen acted. The son of a druggist, spicer, and grocer the three trades were then combined in Montpellier, and born in 1507, he had been destined for the cloister, being a sickly lad. His uncle, one of the canons of Maguelonne, near by, had even given him the revenues of a small chapel a job of nepotism which was common enough in those days.
Haydon," she said primly, to the great gratification of Judith, who had previously arranged this incident. Elinor followed with Mr. Grantly, and Miss Jinny came next with Mr. Spicer, who was very ceremonial and splendid in new clothes of the latest pattern. Patricia thought he looked particularly radiant, and wondered how he could be so glad to say good-bye.

Mr. Spicer might have been a little imprudent with his men; but no case could be brought up in which a man had been injured.
To the Parish church in the morning, where a good sermon by Mr. Mills. After dinner to my Lord's, and from thence to the Abbey, where I met Spicer and D. Vines and others of the old crew.

Here comes Mr and Mrs Wilson in their spring-cart. The floor nearly always needed at least one flick of the broom on account of the fowls.
He got out at Carlton House Terrace, ran up the steps of 10A, and rang the bell. The door was opened by the man who had helped to eject Spicer. He did not seem in the least surprised to see Jones. "Pay that taxi," said Jones. "Yes, my Lord," replied the flunkey.
