Why, I remember the time when old Maunders as had three-and-twenty wans--I remember the time when old Maunders had in his cottage in Spa Fields in the winter time, when the season was over, eight male and female dwarfs setting down to dinner every day, who was waited on by eight old giants in green coats, red smalls, blue cotton stockings, and high-lows: and there was one dwarf as had grown elderly and wicious who whenever his giant wasn't quick enough to please him, used to stick pins in his legs, not being able to reach up any higher.

Jones and old Billy Maunders all telling you that they had caught it.

A never finds out that it is rubbish, but maunders on to the end, trying to believe he's enjoying himself.

He was too occupied with his own vision, and vividly burned before him the sordid barrenness of a poorhouse ward, where an ancient, very like what he himself would become, maundered and gibbered and drooled for a crumb of tobacco for his old clay pipe, and where, of all horrors, no sip of beer ever obtained, much less six quarts of it.

"A nasty night, mind you," he would maunder on, taking another turn.

Though of course--Oh, how one does maunder on, and to think, to think of the people who are really poor.

Then I tried to get him to speak of Polina and the children, but he only returned brief answers of " Yes, yes," and again started to maunder about the Prince, and the likelihood of the latter marrying Mlle.

He looked at them like a drunken man and maundered in strange, sleepy speech.

And while you maunder about restoring competition, the trusts go on destroying you.

Half-centuries by John Maunders (74) and HD Ackerman (72) held up the victory charge until Kabir Ali produced a devastating spell of five wickets for 20 runs in 28 balls before tea.

John Maunders had already scored 71 on the first day and Dinesh Mongia, resuming on an overnight 142, progressed serenely to 161 before becoming the first victim on the second morning.

But it was not the regular members of Leicestershire's attack which hastened the Lancashire collapse, but part-time medium-pacer John Maunders who prompted the loss of five wickets in the last 12 overs.
