词汇	saddler of bawtry
词源	saddler of Bawtry. “Like the saddler of Bawtry, who was hanged for leaving his liquor.” This Yorkshire proverb describes someone too much in a hurry. It seems that the real saddler of Bawtry was on his way to the gallows and adamantly refused to stop with his guards for a last drink, as was the custom in York in the 18th century. Passing the tavern by, he hurried to the gal- lows, where Jack Ketch quickly accommodated him. His par- don from the king arrived only a few minutes later.
