Both streets were filled with his hearers to a considerable distance. Being among the hindmost in Market-street, I had the curiosity to learn how far he could be heard, by retiring backwards down the street towards the river; and I found his voice distinct till I came near Front-street, when some noise in that street obscured it. Imagining then a semi-circle, of which my distance should be the radius, and that it were filled with auditors, to each of whom I allowed two square feet, I computed that he might well be heard by more than thirty thousand.___________________________________
(1) This reconciled me to the newspaper accounts of his having preached to twenty-five thousand
people in the fields
(2) The two streets were called Market-street and Front-street.
(3) My curiosity to learn how far he could be heard, remained unquenched.
(4) The river was full of turbulent water, and the noise of flowing water added to the thrill.
(5) The noise in the street was because of the hawkers who were shouting to the top of their voices to attract shoppers.

Jardine was a tall, hard boned, personality, having none of the unction often associated in his period with cricket. On the field, even a Harlequin cap did not lighten or brighten his pervading air of relentless purpose. His was a realpolitik. He determined in the early 1930s to wrest back the “ashes” from Australia, and to put Bradman in a reasonable, if still high, place. ____________________________________
(1) The fastest bowling could not hurry him.
(2) He had played against many countries.
(3) He was perhaps the first to lead the reaction against Edwardian gesture and romance and the humbug of “may the best side win”
(4) His influence on the cricket field was mild.
(5) All the howls and winds of the world would not deter him.
