Excerpt from The Pedlar and His Dog AS to John Pennycuick's pack, no wonder it was heavy, for what did it not contain? Trinkets of all kinds; amber necklaces, horn rings, shoe-ties, laces, gloves, pins, pomander balls, ribbons, tapes, and even large pieces of stufl's, and lawn; everything, in short, that anybody could possibly want or wish for; and these two last days John, having paid his standing in the fair, had done a good busi ness, all things considered, and was plodding home, tired out.
