However, it was with a depressed spirit that Whistling Dick passed the old French market on his chosen route down the river. For safety's sake he still presented to the world his portrayal of the part of the worthy artisan on his way to labour. A stall-keeper in the market, undeceived, hailed him by the generic name of his ilk, and "Jack" halted, taken by surprise.
"Good morning, O my master; God bless thee!" exclaims the stall-keeper as his customer comes in sight. Sáïd el Faráji has to buy cloth of the merchant time and time again, so makes a point of pleasing one who can return a kindness.
A child buying a cake will often go double or quits with the stall-keeper, to see if he is to have two cakes or nothing, the question being settled by a throw of dice in a bowl. Of the interval allowed for meals, a gang of coolies will devote a portion to a game of cards.
Failing in that, he set out for Manchester and reached it at dusk, very weary and very miry in consequence of the road being in such a wretched state of mud and ruts.

Yule hesitated in surprise for a moment, then said: 'Have one by all means. Would you care for anything to eat? 'I am much obliged to you. I think I should be none the worse for one of those solid slices of bread and butter. The stall-keeper was just extinguishing his lights; the frosty sky showed a pale gleam of sunrise.
'We buy the truth and we sell it not again for anything, was the reply of the two pilgrims to every stall-keeper as they passed up the fair, and this it was that made them to be so hated and hunted down by the men of the fair. And, in like manner, there is nothing more difficult to get hold of at an election time than just the very truth.
Grimwig, with a provoking smile; "we will." Just then Mrs. Bedwin brought in some books which had been bought of the identical book stall-keeper who has already figured in this history.
