Famous quotes containing the words bill and/or collins:
“Chippenhook was the home of Judge Theophilus Harrington, known for his trenchant reply to an irate slave-owner in a runaway slave case. Judge Harrington declared that the owner’s claim to the slave was defective. The owner indignantly demanded to know what was lacking in his legally sound claim. The Judge exploded, ‘A bill of sale, sir, from God Almighty!’”

“But com’st a decent maid,
In Attic robe array’d,
O chaste, unboastful nymph, to thee I call!”
