Citation | NECO.725.011 2-9 Oct 1725:21 (219) [Life and execution of thief Jonathan Wild, part I.] . . . After this manner Jonathan liv'd three or four years, leading a life of pleasure, disturb'd with nothing, unless it was now and then at the noise of a drum, which he had as great antipathy to as some folks to cheese or a cat. (Because it reminded him of drumming up recruits, which he avoided becoming, not for lack of courage, but because he had better ways of seeking his fortune.) |
