"It's made such a difference up here, there being so much less smoke, that upon my word the curtains will do another three months quite well!" "Well, mum, I never did!" observed Maria, meaning that so shocking a proposal was unprecedented in her experience. Yet she was thirty-five. "Quite well!" said Mrs Garlick, gaily. Maria said no more.
Many house-mistresses in Bursley sympathized with Mrs Garlick when she fought this monstrous claim. She fought it gaily, with the aid of a solicitor. She might have won it, if the County Court Judge had not happened to be in one of his peculiar moods one of those moods in which he felt himself bound to be original at all costs.
Meaker promptly brought an action of defamation, but Mullener became involved in other controversies and "miscarriages," to the degree that he was advised to remove out of the place, and put under bonds for good behavior; and Meaker, probably feeling himself vindicated, dropped his suit. ELIZABETH GARLICK. Easthampton, 1658. Acquitted. Account in previous chapter.
The orthodox brethren stigmatized Ratcliffe as "Baal's priest," and the ministers from their pulpits denounced the Anglican prayers as "leeks, garlick, and trash." The upholders of the covenant were convinced that already "the Wild Beasts of the Field" were assailing the colony. Randolph journeyed on horseback twice to Rhode Island, and once to Connecticut, serving his writs upon those colonies.
The point is that Mrs Garlick, re-entering her house one autumn morning after a visit to the market, paused to look at the windows, and then said to Maria: "Maria, what have you to do this afternoon?" Now Mrs Garlick well knew what Maria had to do. "I'm going to change the curtains, mum." "Well, you needn't," said Mrs Garlick.
He had an earthenware manufactory half-way up the hill between Bursley and its loftiest suburb, Toft End, and the smoke of his chimneys and kilns was generally blown by a favourable wind against the windows of Mrs Garlick's house, which stood by itself. Mrs Garlick made nothing of this. In the Five Towns they think no more of smoke than the world at large used to think of small-pox.
"Mistress Manners is a marvel to me," said Garlick, as they went towards the house. "Neither wife nor nun. And she rules her house like a man; and she knows if a priest lift his little finger in Derby. She sent me my whole itinerary for this last circuit of mine; and every point fell out as she said." Robin thought that he had seldom had so pleasant a supper as on that night.
By all that is hirsute and gashly! I cry, taking off my furr'd cap, and twisting it round my finger I would not give sixpence for a dozen such! Top and bottom I detest it, I hate it, I repudiate it I'm sick at the sight of it 'Tis all pepper, garlick, staragen, salt, and
"For all is bright, and beauteous, and clear, And the meanest thing most precious and dear, When the magic of love is present Love that lends a sweetness and grace To the humblest spot and the plainest face, That turns Wilderness Row to Paradise Place, And Garlick Hill to Mount Pleasant." Hood.
"Mr. Garlick went up the ladder first, kissing and embracing it as the instrument of his death, and to encourage Mr. Simpson, as it was thought, since some said he showed signs of timorousness again when he came to the place. But he showed none when his turn came, but rather exhibited the same courage as them both. Mr.
