Smike
Nicholas befriended Smike, the poor, disabled youth at Dotheboy's Hall.
My favorite book! A young man, Nicholas, is left peniless by his improvident father and is forced to work at a terrible school for money. He meets a poor, damaged fellow named Smike and runs away with him to seek their fortunes. Meanwhile, his sister Kate has been asked to entertain a bunch of barbaric "gentlemen" and is assaulted by Sir Mulberry Hawk. I hope this wasn't for a book report. If so, you are a scumbag. Otherwise, it is a fantastic book and I highly recommend it. Merry Christamas!
The name comes from German. It is the name of St. Nicholas (St. Nick). St. Nicholas was a kind, giving man who gave presents to the poor.
Santa is often referred to as St. Nick, so Nick (for Nicholas) would be his first name. The name Santa came from the German name of St. Nicholas. St. Nicholas was kind and gave presents to the poor, because he had a giving, kind heart.
Is amazing! It's about a poor fellow, Nicholas, who is forced to work at a terrible "school" that serves as a dumping ground for unwanted children. Nicholas can't stand it, so... READ THE BOOK! Meanwhile,his sister Kate is entertaining a bunch of high class gentlemen.Among them, the handsome young Lord Fredrick Verisopt and the rogue Sir Mulberry Hawk, both of which have taken a liking to Kate, and Hawk will do anything to get her, so... READ THE BOOK!
St. Nicholas is the saint. When spoken/translated from German, it sounded a lot like Santa Claus. St. Nicholas made a practice of giving gifts to the poor.
Nicholas De Costa has written: 'A study on the constraints to reaching the hardcore poor with microcredit' -- subject(s): Microfinance, Poor
St. Nicholas of Myra lived an exemplary life in service to the poor.
Saint Nicholas is remembered for his generosity and concern for the poor, especially the children.
No, Nicholas of Myra was not Satan. He was an early bishop in Asia Minor known for his generosity to the poor. He is, in a distant way, the model for Santa Claus. Some distorted minds have decided that the name Santa is an anagram for Satan.
