"At all hazards then then you shall know the truth," replied the woollen-draper, in a tone of affected solicitude, "but are you really prepared?" "Quite quite!" replied Winifred. "This suspense is worse than torture." "I am almost afraid to utter it," said Kneebone; "but Thames Darrell is murdered." "Murdered!" ejaculated Winifred.
"My writing! no such thing!" ejaculated the lady, casting a look of alarm at the woollen-draper. "Confusion! the rascal must have picked my pocket of your letters," whispered Kneebone, "What's to be done?" "What's to be done! Why, I'm undone! How imprudent in you not to burn them. But men are so careless, there's no trusting anything to them! However, I must try to brazen it out.
While the strife was raging, Edgeworth Bess walked up to Rachel, and advised her, if she valued her life, not to scream or stir from the spot; a caution which the housekeeper, whose curiosity far outweighed her fears, received in very good part. In the interim, Jack advanced to the woollen-draper, and regarding him sternly, thus addressed him: "You have violated the laws of hospitality, Mr.
What has become of the other?" "Why, surely you don't mean Jack Sheppard?" cried the woollen-draper in surprise. "That was the lad's name," returned the stranger. "I guessed from your dress and manner, Sir, that you must have been long absent from your own country," said Kneebone; "and now I'm convinced of it, or you wouldn't have asked that question.
Sally is near marriage with an eminent woollen-draper in the Strand, if ye have a mind to it; for there are five or six of them there. The nieces may be inquired after, since they will be absent, as persons respected by Mowbray and Tourville, for their late worthy uncle's sake.
Here also lie William Pate, whom Swift, in his Letters, calls the learned woollen-draper: Sir Samuel Fludyer, bart., the courtly lord mayor; Parsons, the comedian, with this quaint epitaph: Here Parsons lies, oft on life's busy stage With nature, reader, hast thou seen him vie; He science knew, knew manners, knew the age, Respected knew to live, lamented die.
When the woollen-draper was nearly worn out, the Amazon watched her opportunity, and hitting him on the arm, disabled it. "That's for Mrs. Wood," she cried, as the staff fell from his grasp. "I'm at your mercy, Poll," rejoined Kneebone, abjectly. "That's for Winifred," vociferated the Amazon, bringing the cudgel heavily upon his shoulder. "Damnation!" cried Kneebone.
Wood carved the ducks; Mr. Kneebone helped to the pigeon-pie; while Thames unwired and uncorked a bottle of stout Carnarvonshire ale. The woollen-draper was no despicable trencherman in a general way; but his feats with the knife and fork were child's sport compared with those of Mr. Smith.
You ought rather to be obliged to us for allowing you to pay this visit. We could have secured you when you left the Mint. But we wished to ascertain whether Mrs. Wood's charms equalled your description." "Wretches!" screamed the lady; "don't dare to breathe your vile insinuations against me! Oh! Mr. Kneebone, are these your French noblemen?" "Don't upbraid me!" rejoined the woollen-draper.
But as I am speaking of taking credit, so I must be necessarily supposed to speak of such goods as are bought upon credit, as the linen-draper buys of the Hamburgh and Dutch merchants, the woollen-draper of the Blackwell-hall men, the haberdasher of the thread merchants, the mercer of the weavers and Italian merchants, the silk-man of the Turkey merchants, and the like; here they are under no necessity of running deep into debt, but may buy sparingly, and recruit again as they sell off.
