To this church, therefore, came the 'prentices of the watermen every Sunday. The Great Fire carried it away, with Steelyard, cloister, church, Waterman's Hall, Cold Harbour House, and everything. Then Wren, as I said, took a pencil and ruler one evening, and showed how a square box could be constructed on the site. Now, let no man judge by externals.
I chanced to see him in the court-yard of the palace of Whitehall, and there being several gallants nigh at hand, who I thought would take my part ough! ough! what a plaguey cough I have gotten, to be sure; but 't is all owing to those cursed 'prentices a murrain seize 'em! Your patience, sweet Sir Giles, I am coming to the point ough! ough! there it takes me again.
Bampfylde, the second king of the gipsies, assumed this title, in hopes of becoming as famous, or as infamous, as his predecessor: he was now holding his court in a wood near the town of Hereford, and numbers of servant-maids and 'prentices went to consult him nay, it was whispered that he was resorted to, secretly, by some whose education might have taught them better sense.
