Mash his head!" cried Hans from the tree. The dog soon became a mangled and bloody mass of flesh and bones. The people came out from their houses. "That was well done for a boy," said Mr. Funk. "Or for a man either," said Mr. Chrome, who came up and patted Paul on his back. "I should have thrown my lapstone at him, if I could have got my window open," said Mr. Leatherby. Mr.
No one esteems or accounts himself more excellent than another in paradise; but every one has great joy in another, and rejoices in another's fair beauty, whence their love to one another continually increases, so that they lead one another by the hand, and so friendly kiss one another. Thus the blessed Behmen saw paradise and had it in his heart as he sat over his hammer and lapstone in his solitary stall.
No neighbour troubled another to come and open the door; if there was no one at home, the key in the lock outside showed it. Cosmo turned his back to the wind, and stood waiting. From the door which Aggie opened, came through the wind and snow the sound of the shoemaker's hammer on his lapstone.
Others will upheave the blacksmith’s hammer, or drive the plane over the carpenter’s bench, or take the lapstone and the awl, and learn the trade of shoe-making. Many will follow the sea, and become bold, rough sea-captains.
Therefore one softens down the ugly central fact of donkeyism, recommends study of good models, that writing verse should be an incidental occupation only, not interfering with the hoe, the needle, the lapstone, or the ledger, and, above all, that there should be no hurry in printing what is written. Not the least use in all this. The poetaster who has tasted type is done for.
Falconer left the shop without another word, but with an awful suspicion which the last heedless words of the shoemaker had aroused in her bosom. She left him bursting with laughter over his lapstone. He caught up his fiddle and played The De'il's i' the Women lustily and with expression. But he little thought what he had done.
The ink was very pale, the handwriting very small; and, having at that time a horror of newspaper original poetry which has rather increased than diminished with the lapse of time my first impulse was to tear it in pieces, without reading it; the chances of rejection, after its perusal, being as ninety-nine to one; ... but summoning resolution to read it, I was equally surprised and gratified to find it above mediocrity, and so gave it a place in my journal.... As I was anxious to find out the writer, my post-rider, one day, divulged the secret, stating that he had dropped the letter in the manner described, and that it was written by a Quaker lad, named Whittier, who was daily at work on the shoemaker's bench, with hammer and lapstone, at East Haverhill.
Saunders makes boots of the latest style, and where old lapstone, with curious framed spectacles tied over his bleared eyes, has for the last forty years been seen at the window trimming welts, and mending every one's sole but his own; we will pass the four story wooden house that the landlord never paints that has the little square windows, and the little square door, and the two little iron hand rails that curl so crabbedly at the ends, and guard four crabbeder steps that give ingress and egress to its swarm of poor but honest tenants; we will pass the shop where a short, stylish sign tells us Mr.
The pail was set upon a flat stone like a cobbler's lapstone, and the coffee berries were broken by using the butt of the bayonet as a pestle. At break of day every camp was musical with the clangor of these primitive coffee-mills.
