"A sober maid and a seemly, in good sooth," said Mr Tynneslowe, when the door was shut. "Hath she her health reasonable good? She looks but white." "Ay, good enough," said the patty-maker, who knew that Amphillis was sufficiently teased and worried by those lively young ladies, her cousins, to make any girl look pale. "Good. Well, what wages should content you?"
The gentlewoman shall give her note of all that lacketh, if she be preferred to the place." "And when shall she wait on the said gentlewoman?" "Next Thursday in the even, at Master Goldsmith's." "I will send her." Mr Tynneslowe declined a second helping of hypocras, and took his leave. The patty-maker saw him to the door, and then went back into his shop. "I have news for you, maids," said he.
"I can live A life that tells on other lives, and makes This world less full of evil and of pain A life which, like a pebble dropped at sea, Sends its wide circles to a hundred shores." Rev Horatius Bonar, D.D. The coming hypocras interested Mr Tynneslowe more than its bearer.
Hypocras was a very light wine, served as tea now is in the afternoon, and spice was a word which covered all manner of good things not only pepper, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmegs, but rice, almonds, ginger, and even gingerbread. Mr Tynneslowe for so the varlet was named sat down in the chair, and awaited the tray and Amphillis. The Goldsmith's Daughter.
"This lady, then, shall be Mercy on us! sure, Master Tynneslowe, you go not about to have the maid into the household of my Lady's Grace of Cambridge, or the Queen's Grace herself of Castile?" The Duke of Lancaster having married the heiress of Castile, he and his wife were commonly styled King and Queen of Castile. Mr Tynneslowe laughed.
I am ill-set to judge of maids: they be kittle gear." "Forsooth, they be so!" assented Mr Altham, with a sigh: for his fair and wayward Alexandra had cost him no little care before that summer afternoon. "And to speak truth, Master Tynneslowe, I would not be sorry to put the maid forth, for she is somewhat a speckled bird in mine house, whereat the rest do peck. Come within!"
