Famous quotes containing the words house and/or sold:
“[They] hired a large house as a receptacle for gentlewomen, who either had no fortunes, or so little that it would not support them.

And my father sold me while yet my tongue,
Could scarcely cry weep weep weep weep.
So your chimneys I sweep & in soot I sleep.”
