Excerpt from Jackanapes
But she remembered the little Miss Jessamine, the Miss Jessamine with the conspicuous hair. Her aunt, the big Miss Jessamine, said it was her only fault. The hair was clean, was abundant, was glossy, but do what you would with it it never looked quite like other people's. And at church, after Saturday night's wash, it shone like the best brass fender after a Spring cleaning. In short, it was conspicuous, which does not become a young woman especially in church.
Those were worrying times altogether, and the Green was used for strange purposes. A political meeting was held on it with the village Cobbler in the chair, and a speaker who came by stage coach from the town, where they had wrecked the bakers' shops, and discussed the price of bread. He came a second time, by stage, but the people had heard something about him in the meanwhile.

Last eve in Beauty scircle proudly gay, The midnight brought the signal sound of strife, The morn the marshalling in arms the day Battle smagnificently stern array !T he thunder-clouds close oer it, which when rent The earth is covered thick with other clay, Which her own clay shall cover, heaped and pent. Rider and horse: friend, foe, in one red burial bkait. Their praise is hymn dby loftier harps than mine :Y et one would I select from that proud throng. to thee, to thousands, of whom each And one as all a ghastly gap did make In his own kind and kindred, whom to teach Forgetfulness were mercy for their sake ;T he Archangel strump, not glory s, must awake Those whom they thirst for. BYKON. WO Donkeys and the Geese lived on the Green, and all other residents of any social standing lived in houses round it The houses had no names. Everybody saddress was, The Green, but the Postman and the people of the place knew where each family lived. As to the rest of the world, what has one to do with the rest of the world, hen he is safe at home on his own Goose Green? Moreover, if a stranger did come on any lawful business, he might ask his way at the shop.
