第166章

Him followed wives and babes on two lean horses, whose flanks still rattled like parchment drum, being beaten by kettles and caldrons.Next an armed man a-riding of a horse, which drew a cart full of females and children; and in it, sitting backwards, a lusty lazy knave, lance in hand, with his luxurious feet raised on a holy water-pail, that lay along, and therein a cat, new kittened, sat glowing o'er her brood, and sparks for eyes.And the cart-horse cavalier had on his shoulders a round bundle, and thereon did perch a cock and crowed with zeal, poor ruffler, proud of his brave feathers as the rest, and haply with more reason, being his own.And on an ass another wife and new-born child; and one poor quean a-foot scarce dragged herself along, so near her time was she, yet held two little ones by the hand, and helplessly helped them on the road.And the little folk were just a farce;some rode sticks, with horses' heads, between their legs, which pranced and caracoled, and soon wearied the riders so sore, they stood stock still and wept, which cavaliers were presently taken into cart and cuffed.And one, more grave, lost in a man's hat and feather, walked in Egyptian darkness, handed by a girl; another had the great saucepan on his back, and a tremendous three-footed clay-pot sat on his head and shoulders, swallowing him so as he too went darkling led by his sweetheart three foot high.When they were gone by, and we had both laughed lustily, said I, 'Natheless, master, my bowels they yearn for one of that tawdry band, even for the poor wife so near the downlying, scarce able to drag herself, yet still, poor soul, helping the weaker on the way.

Catherine."Nay, nay, Margaret.Why, wench, pluck up heart.Certes thou art no Bohemian."Kate."Nay, mother, 'tis not that, I trow, but her father.And, dear heart, why take notice to put her to the blush?"Richart."So I say."

"And he derided me.'Why, that is a "biltreger,"' said he, 'and you waste your bowels on a pillow, or so forth.' I told him he lied.'Time would show,' said he, 'wait till they camp.' And rising after meat and meditation, and travelling forward, we found them camped between two great trees on a common by the wayside;and they had lighted a great fire, and on it was their caldron;and one of the trees slanting o'er the fire, a kid hung down by a chain from the tree-fork to the fire, and in the fork was wedged an urchin turning still the chain to keep the meat from burning, and a gay spark with a feather in his cap cut up a sheep; and another had spitted a leg of it on a wooden stake; and a woman ended chanticleer's pride with wringing of his neck.And under the other tree four rufflers played at cards and quarrelled, and no word sans oath; and of these lewd gamblers one had cockles in his hat and was my reverend pilgrim.And a female, young and comely, and dressed like a butterfly, sat and mended a heap of dirty rags.

    李梅的自传体小说

    那天,我刚到编辑部,就看到办公桌上放着一本花花绿绿的杂志,封面上好像是一个女人的照片。这是美编小李订的服装杂志。现在的女孩,就是喜欢研究服饰,前天还跟我说,她特别喜欢的一个服装设计师,设计了一套田园风格的衣服,她很喜欢,就是不知道哪儿有卖的。这让我突然想起一个朋友发的段子:“大款新时尚——不再炫耀自己有多少钱,而是吹有多少政要朋友。不再炫耀有几部车,而是有几个司机。不再吹嘘有几个项目,而是有几个上市公司。吃饭不再是点菜,而是直接点厨子。找女人不再找夜店女,而是直接拿遥控器找主持人和影星。穿衣服不再问哪国的牌子,而是问哪国的裁缝。
