Excerpt from An Englishman's Castle An Englishman's house is his castle, and although the outworks may be crumpled like tissue paper as soon as he is in Open conflict with society, so long as he keeps on the windy side of the law he possesses an impregnable fortress. In the garrison's 1nterest and our own we need permission to enter the ques tion is, what shall we pay? We certainly should make our utmost endeavour to Offer the minimum bribe, but in the existing state of affairs some bribery is inevitable. One thing strongly in favour Of the district nurse is, that there is rarely any real need for her to give material aid. When patients have said to me, 'i s'pose you 've brought all as you 'll want, nurse 2 or, I should think as the doctor won't want nothing but what he brings along with him 2 my usual reply was, I have brought you my ten fingers. It is astonishing how much they can do when they are supplied with the wherewithal.' And then, in the tones of a person parting with a trade secret as a rare personal favour, I would tell them what was needed, where it could be bought or hired, and how much it would cost. My hearers stared and laughed, but seldom indeed did they fail to produce all that was necessary. Collecting implements for the doctor's use sometimes caused a greater struggle. Half an hour before a critical operation on his wife, a man refused me the use Of an absolutely indispen sable basin because the fowls has got to be fed and in similar circumstances an elderly woman declined to supply me with boiling water because the gudeman must have his dinner.' Incidents like these are exceptional, but they have to be faced. Nor is a nurse welcome in every home. I have sometimes, at the urgent request Of a medical man, visited a house as many as six times before gaining admittance, and even then it has been another fort night before I have been allowed to perform any nursing duties. But - for my encouragement - how Often I found the entree remorselessly refused to other workers! One day, while attending to a woman who was seriously ill, I heard a constant rapping at the front door. It would have been against all etiquette for me to Offer to go and see what was wanted, but when I observed that the patient was getting nervous and worried by the sound, I went to look for the husband, who had been requested to remain within call. I found him in the backyard, squeezed into the only corner which was not easily visible from the road. There is a lady knocking at the door.' NO response. I think it is Mrs. The vicar's wife.' Lerrer knock, then! He replied valiantly, I 'm not a tome. When the missus is about, she can do 's she like.' In another case a district visitor called time after time at a house, leaving and fetching tracts and magazines, but never receiving more than the curtest of greetings. One day she was welcomed with a beaming smile. Come right in, m'm. I 'm real glad to see you. I was hoping you 'd be round our way.' She had hardly time to renew her faith in copy-book maxims as to the value of perseverance, when the woman added cheerfully, Two Of the children 's down with the scarlack fever. I 'd like for you to look at them.' The visitor was a married woman with young children of her own, and hastily purchased the right to decline this privilege.

p.B. J. Whiting savors proverbial expressions and has devoted much of his lifetime to studying and collecting them; no one knows more about British and American proverbs than he. The present volume, based upon writings in British North America from the earliest settlements to approximately 1820, complements his and Archer Taylor's Dictionary of American Proverbs and Proverbial Phrases, 1820-1880. It differs from that work and from other standard collections, however, in that its sources are primarily not "literary" but instead workaday writings - letters, diaries, histories, travel books, political pamphlets, and the like. The authors represent a wide cross-section of the populace, from scholars and statesmen to farmers, shopkeepers, sailors, and hunters. Mr. Whiting has combed all the obvious sources and hundreds of out-of-the-way publications of local journals and historical societies. This body of material, "because it covers territory that has not been extracted and compiled in a scholarly way before, can justly be said to be the most valuable of all those that Whiting has brought together," according to Albert B. Friedman. "What makes the work important is Whiting's authority: a proverb or proverbial phrase is what BJW thinks is a proverb or proverbial phrase. There is no objective operative definition of any value, no divining rod; his tact, 'feel, ' experience, determine what's the real thing and what is spurious."

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
