FOOTNOTES:[A]Story-books, please copy. No rights reserved.[B]The old lady's eloquence in her native tongue did not run greatly to swear-words, of which, according to Carew, there were only "two or three natural." "But then," saith Carew, "this want is relieved with a flood of most bitter curses and spiteful nicknames." The mouth hath its pearls; and our Dolly's was well filled, when her blood was stirred.[C]All ranks engaged in smuggling. Mr. Philip Hawkins, M.P. for Grampound, left £600 to the King as "conscience" money. But privateering was a royal game, and men made money rapidly at the expense of the enemies of England. People used, it is said, to measure their gold in pint pots, instead of counting it.[D]An ex-President of the Wesleyan Conference told this story.[E]This is the only indigenous stage story in existence, and is preserved by Carew.[F]When Sir Henry died, it was remembered that he whose soul was all Cornish, had never acted in the county.[G]An enterprising huckster exhibited the following signboard:—BIBLES, BELLOWS AND BOOTS. GODLYBUKES AND GRINDING STONES, TROUSERS,TESTAMENTS, AND TEA KITTLES, EVERYTHINGBOUGHT AND SOLD HERE EXCEPT TREACLE.BEST PRICE GIVEN FOR WHALEBONE STAZEBy I. W. Ninnis.[H]I believe this story was told by the Rev. Mark Guy Pearse; if not, it might have been, it's so like him.[I]Caerhays Castle passed from the Trevanion family by purchase to that of the present owner—Mr. J. C. Williams, formerly M.P. for the Truro division. The castle was built in 1805 from the designs of Mr. Nash, architect of Buckingham Palace and Regent Street.[J]The Japs dwell complacently on the tradition that they were once only a community of humble fishermen; and it is the custom to send with all presents apiece of dried fish, that their origin may be kept in perpetual remembrance.[K]Fowey is an exception.
