Containing a conversation which Mr Jones had with himself.
He never encouraged the men in the performance of their duty, by kind expressions; on the contrary, he never addressed them on the most simple matter without oaths and imprecations, and oftentimes enforced his commands with a rope's end or his fist. "We had yet other causes of discomfort besides these continual uproars.
"Did it not occur to you, Williams, that there is a body called the police, whose duty it is to interfere in disgraceful uproars of this sort?" "If we had waited for the police, sir," Williams said, "half the School would not have been fit to take their places in form again before the end of the term." "It does not appear to me," Dr.
The friar, swaying on his ladder, looked down and then made a great sign of the cross.

He kicked his foot loose, but his hand on the bridle was clutched.

Indeed, there are not many uproars in this world more dismal than that of the Sabbath bells in Edinburgh: a harsh ecclesiastical tocsin; the outcry of incongruous orthodoxies, calling on every separate conventicler to put up a protest, each in his own synagogue, against "right-hand extremes and left-hand defections."
This man, affecting the first place in the commonwealth, and not able by noble ways to outdo Camillus's reputation, took that ordinary course towards usurpation of absolute power, namely, to gain the multitude, those of them especially that were in debt; defending some by pleading their causes against their creditors, rescuing others by force, and not suffering the law to proceed against them; insomuch that in a short time he got great numbers of indigent people about him, whose tumults and uproars in the forum struck terror into the principal citizens.
Methodically every few moments he removed his eyeglasses and wiped the lenses free of spray.
