Extremes meet in every age, and in every department. Because one false philosophy would deify the universe, startled opponents tell us to close our ears to these musical utterances and shut our eyes to glorious nature, God's handiwork. Oh! why has humanity so fierce a hatred of medium paths?
She laughed a little at the impotence of her rebuff and paused for a moment to make her next shot. Hamel, standing a little on one side, watched her appraisingly. Her short, grey tweed skirt was obviously the handiwork of an accomplished tailor. Her grey stockings and suede shoes were immaculate and showed a care for her appearance which pleased him.
So they sat silent side by side; one held her breath and the other held her thumbs, but only the dusk crept in from the sea. Thorogood, Lieutenant of the Afternoon Watch, climbed the ladder to the upper bridge as the bell struck the half-hour after noon. A blue worsted muffler, gift and handiwork of an aunt on the outbreak of war, enfolded his neck.
'Am I really to keep it like this? cried Lucy, looking at herself in the glass. 'But of course you are! and Mrs. Burgoyne instinctively held the girl's arms, lest any violence should be offered to her handiwork 'And you must put on your old white frock not the check the nice soft one that's been washed, with the pink sash Goodness, how the time goes!
She was still admiring her handiwork, giving it here and there a light little fillip with the brush and comparing this check with some of those which had been practised on last night, to see whether she had made any improvement in her technique of forgery, when Carlton returned with the punch and the blank checks on the Gorham Bank.
A year after my journey to Kief I travelled through the Tyrol on my way from the Ammergau Passion Play. The whole of this district abounds in frescoes, many being on the external walls of private dwellings. This village art of the Bavarian Highlands, though often the handiwork of simple artisans, puts to shame both the external and the internal wall-paintings at Kief, Troitza, and the Kremlin.
In the chimney-corners, or under the table, are several three-legged stools, made for the children, who as the bridegroom laughingly insinuates while he points to the uncouth specimens of his handiwork "will be coming in due time."
Mother said nothing, but when her trunk was unpacked she brought forth, in triumph, a specimen of her handiwork. "Aunt Hildy," I called, "come and give her a scolding." She came, and with Clara and myself, was soon busy in trying to find out how the mat for this was the name of the article was made. "How on airth did you do it, and what with?" "Why don't you find out?" said mother.
There was absolutely nothing further to be seen in the vault, so Berrington climbed thoughtfully out of it again. He readjusted the floor, for he had no wish for his handiwork to remain. He would wait now for Beatrice to emerge and see her safely on her way home. A little later on, perhaps, and he would have a great deal of useful information to impart to Inspector Field.
All the sailors were particularly favored by being allowed to bring their bags in untouched by the guards. This "chicken" had a wonderful supply of clothes, the handiwork of his protector who, like most good sailors, was very skillful with the needle.
