I found a blue stone on the beach once. In Singapore that had been her only dissipation: a dozen pairs of silk
stockings. ‘Stand where you are, or I shoot!’
Like lightning, thoughts zipped through her mind. "
"Then, we'll lose no more time," returned Jack. "You know my motive well enough," answered Jonathan. The condition of the rooms was indescribably filthy and
disgusting; nor were the habits of the occupants much more cleanly. Here the ribs of a thousand pounds beating against the Needles—
those dangerous rocks, credulity here floated, to and fro, silks, stuffs, camlets,
and velvet, without giving place to each other, according to their dignity; here

"Delectable History of Whittington's College," that "When the prisoners are
disposed to recreate themselves with walking, they go up into a spacious room,
called the Stone Hall; where, when you see them taking a turn together, it would
puzzle one to know which is the gentleman, which the mechanic, and which the
beggar, for they are all suited in the same garb of squalid poverty, making a
spectacle of more pity than executions; only to be out at the elbows is in fashion
here, and a great indecorum not to be threadbare. I know exactly what I am doing. There's an animal! He thrives in

companionship. We shall never have an heir, you and I! My family is
crumbling; all of my brothers are dead.
