Magic lantern slide circa 1900. Victorian/Edwardian.Social History. The Oiled feather a series of 12 slides created in 1888, created from a book published in 1871 written by Rev P.B. Power 1822-1899. Slide 6 Oils old biddy. The first person Sam Parsons came in sight of was old Biddy Magrath, the woman who sold apples at the corner of the street. " Good morning, Biddy," said Sam". Good morning, and good luck," answered Biddy; "is it to market ye's going to-day, Mr. Parsons?" "Yes, Biddy, can I do anything for you?" said Sam. "Can ye do anything for me," answered Biddy, "to be sure ye can; bring me two ounces of the best tay, and half a pound of brown sugar, and here's the money;" and so saying, Biddy pulled forth a ball of rag from her pocket, which when unrolled, much after the fashion of an Egyptian mummy, developed a shilling. No doubt, it was but a small kindness that Sam shewed, but he made a fellow- creature happy by it; in fact, he oiled old Biddy, as well as his wife, and child, and maid; and Bridget was not half so cross.
