Despite the fickleness of the weather, and a 'foul flake, or clogging of the line as it ran out of the tank, there was no interruption of the work. The 'old coffee mill, as the sailors dubbed the paying-out gear, kept grinding away. 'I believe we shall do it this time, Jack, said one of the crew to his mate.

Then I'll make another equal payment the day we start the mill. But I don't bind myself to record the timber or to put up a mill, unless I'm convinced that it's worth while." "I'd rather take less money and have a small share in the concern; and Drayton must stand in." "It's a question of terms," Vane replied. "I'll consider your views."

It was as if he looked on Judy's suffering through his own, and was therefore endowed with a quality of understanding which his ordinary perceptions would never have given him. When he came in sight of the mill, the flash of red wheels caught his eyes, and he distinguished Mr. Mullen's gig in the road in front of the door.

"You're just the lads I'm looking for. Your friends are lying in yonder mill. They went over the dam in their canoes this morning at daybreak. "I happened to see them and saved their lives. They were pretty near drowned, but I managed to bring them around all right. They ain't able to walk yet, so they asked me to go up the creek and hunt you fellows.

Nelly held out a hand and kissed him. 'You must be very good. 'I is good, said the child, radiantly. Nelly spread a rug for him to lie on, and provided him with a piece of paper, some coloured chalks and a piece of mill board. He turned over on his front and plunged into drawing Silence till Nelly asked 'What are you drawing, Tommy?

In both kinds, the majority of the stories come from the same mill, even though the minds that shape them may differ in refinement and in taste.

But days and days passed, and the new Moon never came, and the nights were aye dark, and the Evil Things were worse than ever. And still the days went on, and the new Moon never came. Naturally the poor folk were strangely feared and mazed, and a lot of them went to the Wise Woman who dwelt in the old mill, and asked if so be she could find out where the Moon was gone.
