Page 338 - But the ordinary public chastisement was the bastinado, a stroke or two on the palm with that almost obsolete weapon now — the ferule. A ferule was a sort of flat ruler, widened at the inflicting end into a shape resembling a pear, — but nothing like so sweet — with a delectable hole in the middle, to raise blisters, like a cupping-glass.
Page 89 - I pr'ythee, wife, lay a pin on the ground near my foot, or at my right toe ; which she did ; and when young Master Porter, yet forty years old, was come into the house, after salutations between them, the old man said, Wife, is not that a pin which lies at my foot 1 Truly husband, quoth she, it is a pin indeed...
