| Question: |
What motivations or influencing factors may have led the coastal inhabitants to feel joy at the arrival of foreigners and engage in bartering with them? |
| Answer: |
The inhabitants of the coast may have felt joy at the arrival of foreigners and the opportunity to engage in bartering with them due to the potential economic benefits, such as gaining new commodities, that foreign arrival brought to their community. The passage also mentions that many of them were selling many articles to the strangers in hopes of gain, which indicates an eagerness to engage in trade. Additionally, the prospect of a new settlement and the creation of a city could also create opportunities for increased trade and growth, which could be additional motivating factors for their enthusiasm and active engagement with the newcomers. |

3 said Dorothy, who had put her
bicycle between Mr Warburton and herself ‘It’s over two months since I’ve
seen you 3
‘I got back the day before yesterday But this is only a flying visit I’m off
again tomorrow I’m taking the kids to Brittany The bastards, you know 3
Mr Warburton pronounced the word bastards, at which Dorothy looked
away in discomfort, with a touch of naive pride He and his ‘bastards’ (he had
three of them) were one of the chief scandals of Knype Hill He was a man of
independent income, calling himself a painter-he produced about half a dozen
mediocre landscapes every year-and he had come to Knype Hill two years
earlier and bought one of the new villas behind the Rectory There he lived, or
rather stayed periodically, m open concubinage with a woman whom he called
his housekeeper Four months ago this woman-she was a foreigner, a
Spaniard it was said-had created a fresh and worse scandal by abruptly
A Clergyman 3 s Daughter 277
deserting him, and his three children were now parked with some long-
suffering relative m London In appearance he was a fine, imposing-looking
man, though entirely bald (he was at great pains to conceal this), and he carried
himself with such a rakish air as to give the impression that his fairly sizeable
belly was merely a kind of annexe to his chest His age was forty-eight, and he
owned to forty-four People in the town said that he was a ‘proper old rascal’,
young girls were afraid of him, not without reason
Mr Warburton had laid his hand pseudo-paternally on Dorothy’s shoulder
and was shepherding her through the crowd, talking all the while almost
without a pause The Blifil- Gordon car, having rounded the pump, was now
wending its way back, still accompanied by its troupe of middle-aged
Bacchantes Mr Warburton, his attention caught, paused to scrutinize it
‘What is the meaning of these disgusting antics’’ he asked
‘Oh, they’re- what is it they call lt’-electioneering Trying to get us to vote
for them, I suppose ’
‘Trying to get us to vote for them' Good God 1 ’ murmured Mr Warburton,
as he eyed the triumphal cortege He raised the large, silver-headed cane that
he always carried, and pointed, rather expressively, first at one figure in the
procession and then at another ‘Look at it 1 Just look at it 1 Look at those
fawning hags, and that half-witted oaf grinning at us like a monkey that sees a
bag of nuts Did you ever see such a disgusting spectacle’’
‘Do be careful 1 ’ Dorothy murmured ‘Somebody’s sure to hear you ’
‘Good 1 ’ said Mr Warburton, immediately raising his voice ‘And to think
that low-born hound actually has the impertinence to think that he’s pleasing
us with the sight of his false teeth 1 And that suit he’s wearing is an offence m
itself Is there a Socialist candidate’ If so, I shall certainly vote for him ’
Several people on the pavement turned and stared Dorothy saw little Mr
Twiss, the ironmonger, a weazened, leather-coloured old man, peering with
veiled malevolence round the corner of the rush baskets that hung m his
doorway He had caught the word Socialist, and was mentally registering Mr
Warburton as a Socialist and Dorothy as the friend of Socialists
‘I really must be getting on,’ said Dorothy hastily, feeling that she had better
escape before Mr Warburton said something even more tactless
‘I’ve
got ever
such a lot of shopping to do I’ll say good-bye for the present, then ’
‘Oh, no, you won’t 1 ’ said Mr Warburton cheerfully ‘Not a bit of it* I’ll come
with you ’
As she wheeled her bicycle down the street he marched at her side, still
talking, with his large chest well forward and his stick tucked under his arm.

Ginger' Run
like Hell'
[They run, or shamble, as fast as they can to the corner of the Square , where
three youths are distributing surplus posters given away m charity by the
morning newspapers Charlie and Ginger come back with a thick wad of
posters The five largest men now jam themselves together on the bench , Deafie
and the four women sitting across their knees, then, with infinite difficulty ( as
it has to be done from the inside), they wrap themselves m a monstrous cocoon
of paper, several sheets thick, tucking the loose ends into their necks or breasts
or between their shoulders and the back of the bench Finally nothing is
uncovered save their heads and the lower part of their legs For their heads
they fashion hoods of paper The paper constantly comes loose and lets in cold
shafts of wind, but it is now
possible
to sleep for as much as five minutes
consecutively At this time-between three and five m the mormng~it is
customary with the police not to disturb the Square sleepers A measure of
warmth steals through everyone and extends even to their feet There is some
furtive fondling of the women under cover of the paper Dorothy is too far gone
to care
By a quarter past four the paper is all crumpled and torn to nothing, and it is
far too cold to remain sitting down The people get up, swear, find their legs
somewhat rested, and begin to slouch to and fro m couples, frequently halting
from mere lassitude Every belly is now contorted with hunger Ginger’s tin of
condensed milk is tom open and the contents devoured, everyone dipping their
fingers into it and licking them.

Many of the prefaces,
epistles dedicatory, prologues and epilogues of Jonson's plays, as well
as some of his poems,
epigrams
and passages in the plays themselves,
contain significant critical material; see, also, the critiques of Jonson's
work in Jonsonus Virbius, 1638, which indicate that he passed on his
interest in criticism to his epigones.
