My dear young lady, don't take on so. Sally, did you hear anything at the doors? No, indeed, ma'am; I never BE'S at the doors. Simpleton! Miss B. Disembosom my mind! Nonsense! I've nothing on my mind. Pray leave me, madam. Madam, indeed! madam, forsooth! Oh, I'll make her pay for that! That MADAM shall go down in the bill, as sure as my name's Newington. I suppose I'd best send your own servant?
And when his long public life, so singularly checkered with good and evil, with glory and obloquy, had at length closed forever, it was to Daylesford that he retired to die. When he was eight years old, his uncle Howard determined to take charge of him, and to give him a liberal education. The boy went up to London, and was sent to a school at Newington, where he was well taught but ill fed.
We are each of us stout, unromantic family people now; but the reminiscence made me feel quite romantic for the moment in that ground floor front in Newington Causeway; and I was inclined to say, "A Daniel come to judgment!" but I checked myself and remarked, sotto voce, in the vernacular, "Right again, Mr. Smith!"
On the third of January, 1803, a special commission was issued under the Great Seal, to inquire of certain high treasons committed within the county of Surrey; and on the twenty-first of January, it was opened at the Sessions House at Newington present on the bench, Lord Ellenborough, Sir Alexander Thompson, Sir Simon Le Blanc, and Sir Alan Chambre.
But it is not till we come into Newington that we find any sign or memory of St Thomas or the Pilgrimage. This village, however, became famous as a station for the pilgrims, because on his last journey from London to Canterbury, the great Archbishop here administered the rite of Confirmation. A cross was erected to commemorate this event, and there the pilgrims knelt to pray.
'F-o-r-rard! screeched his lordship. So they went flying and 'forrarding' together; none of the field thanks to Jack Spraggon being able to overtake them. 'Y-o-o-nder he goes! at last cried Frosty, taking off his cap as he viewed the fox, some half-mile ahead, stealing away round the side of Newington Hill.
What she needed to make her well was new pupils and honest boarders, and these the most expert physician could not give her. Is it any wonder that she came in time to hate Newington Green, "the grave of all my comforts," she called it, to lose relish for life, and to feel cheered only by the prospect of death? She had nothing to reproach herself with.
Then they rode on, and were presently rounding Newington Hill themselves, the hounds packing well together, and carrying a famous head. His lordship now looked to see what was going on behind. Scrambleford Hill was far in the rear. Jawleyford and the boy in blue were altogether lost in the distance.
Johnson thought Irene was poetry, it is not singular that he should think the lyrics of Watts were not. Stoke Newington is also celebrated as the residence of De foe. We passed by, in our walk, the ancient mansion in which he lived.
I've turned off three waiters and five chambermaids already, for screaming after me Mrs. Landlady! Mrs. Landlady! But 'tis all your ill manners. Landlord. Ill manners! Why, if I may be so bold, if you are not Mrs. Landlady, in the name of wonder what are you? Landlady. Mrs. Newington, Mr. Newington. Mrs. Newington, Mr. Landlady.
