Everything else was over with me, and it seemed to open a new life. So, bless me, what a soft and pious frame I was in when they chastened me, water, oil, salt and all, on what my father raged at folks calling Lammas Day, but which it seems really belongs to St. Peter in the Fetters. So I was named Pierre or Piers after him, thus keeping my own initial." "Piers! oh! not Piers Pigwiggin?"
If you lose, there are the 'All-aged Trial Stakes, and the 'Consolation Race." "And plenty of selling races into the bargain. Shall I take you at your word, Miss Lammas?" "I hope you will," she answered. "Since you yourself advise me, I will. Miss Lammas, will you do me the honour to marry me?" For the first time in my life the blood rushed to my head and my sight swam.
George Houdlass, convicted at Lammas Assizes, 1815, of mare stealing. Ordered to be transported for the term of his natural life. Martin Dowdwell, convicted at the Lent Assizes, 1817, of perjury. Ordered to be impillored once and imprisoned for two years. Susanna Pepper, convicted at the Lammas Assizes, 1817, of secreting the birth of her bastard child. Ordered to be imprisoned for one year.
Savagery, savagery, rank and stinking! I'll say it to his face in another world, and a poor evangel and ensample truly for the quarrelsome landward folk of this parish, that even now, in the more unctuous times of God's grace, doff steel weapons so reluctantly. I found a man with a dirk at his hip sitting before the Lord's table last Lammas!"
First she put on her red riband, which she had bought at last Lammas fair; then she recollected that red was an unlucky color, and changed it for a blue riband, tied in a true lover's knot; but suddenly calling to mind that poor Jacob had bought this knot for her of a pedlar at the door, and that she had promised to wear it for his sake, her heart smote her, and she laid it by, sighing to think she was not fated to marry the man who had given it to her.
Lammas Day dawned warm and bright, and after early mass in the Church of Saint Mary at Strand which nobody in those days would have dreamed of missing on a saint's day Amphillis placed herself at an upstairs window to watch for her escort.
A dreadful American man once told me that my aunt was a Bluebell and that I was a Harebell with two l's and an e because my hair is so thick. I warn you, so that you may avoid making such a bad pun." "Do I look like a man who makes puns?" I asked, being very conscious of my melancholy face and sad looks. Miss Lammas eyed me critically. "No; you have a mournful temperament.

We may like each other, if you stay a little longer and we ought to, because we are neighbours in the country." I suppose I ought to have thought Miss Lammas a very odd girl.
Juliet's first and only love came to her only eleven years after she had been weaned, "come Lammas." Save that the "Age of Love" may be said to be "Youth" for Love aye rejuvenates there is nothing to be said. Wherefore the German gentleman who protested against the cliches of novel-writers in the matter of the eternity of passion was well within the wilderness of the subject.
"So, Captain, I was just after coming out of Widow Moylan's it was in the Lammas fair and a large one, by the by, it was so, sir, who should come up to me but Branagan. 'Well, Branagan, said I, 'how does the world go now with you? " "Gallus Gallinaceus, a dunghill cock " "Says he. 'And how is that? says I. "Gallus Gallinaceus "
