On the next visit of the higgler Dale was lying in wait for him. |
A higgler, he wrote, had his cart, his hovel and his hog-stye carried off into the meadow, and the lower rooms of the houses near the River Lea were filled with water. |
The higgler grasped it, and was dragged out to a place of safety. |
That was because he knew the buyer was a higgler and would have left him at once had he refused to come down in his price. |
He was a higgler in little things, but had large ideas, and lots of gentlemanly feeling. |
The higgler being palsied, was accustomed to assist himself often upon the road, by holding to the ass's tail. |
