It swept into its current almost every social grade, and every trade, handicraft or profession, the pastil-makers, the green-grocers and unguent sellers of Rome, the muleteers of the Alps, the fullers of Pompeii, the doctors at Beneventum, the boatmen of the Seine, the wine merchants of Lyons.
"Roman Society from Nero to Marcus Aurelius"
Samuel Dill
Stood there not behind the pulpit-stairs the sacristy-cabin, and in this was there not a church-library of consequence-no school-boy could have buckled it wholly in his book-strap-lying under the minever cover of pastil dust?
"The Campaner Thal and Other Writings"
Jean Paul Friedrich Richter
Just light that pastil before you go; there-that will, do.
"The Fortunes Of Glencore"
Charles James Lever
