Crass, Dick Wantley, the Semi-drunk, Sawkins, Bill Bates and several other frequenters of the Cricketers were amongst the crowd, and there were also a sprinkling of tradespeople, including the Old Dear and Mr Smallman, the grocer, and a few ladies and gentlemen wealthy visitors but the bulk of the crowd were working men, labourers, mechanics and boys.
The transportation of the garrison was done to prevent the transmission of intelligence to New Amsterdam; for much as the cunning Risingh exulted in his stratagem, yet did he dread the vengeance of the sturdy Peter Stuyvesant, whose name spread as much terror in the neighborhood as did whilom that of the unconquerable Scanderbeg among his scurvy enemies the Turks. Dragon of Wantley.
George fought; and also, the dragon of Wantley, whom our old English legends describe as being killed by More of More Hall. The folk-lore that is, the common traditionary stories of Germany are full of such wonders.
They are the Dragon of Wantley, with one caudal point a barbed termination: we, like Moore of Moore Hall, all point, covered with spikes: every where we boast ourselves an ethical hedge-hog, all-over-armed with keen morals a Rumour painted full of tongues, echoing all around with revealing of secrets.
