"How do you mean were you wrecked, then?" Look, Mr Simple, do you see a small church, with a spire of glazed tiles, shining like a needle?" "Yes, I do." "Well, then, just above it, a little to the right, there is a long white house, with four small windows below the grove of orange-trees." "I see it," replied I; "but what about that house, Mr Chucks?"
Her attitude was that of a person at home, aggressively at home. She was in the act of threading a needle when Dare and Mr. Alwynn came in, and she put down her work at once, carefully replacing the needle in safety, as she rose to receive them, and held out her hand, with a manner the assurance of which, if both men had not been too much frightened to notice it, was a little overdone.
This is an excellent contrivance for sweetening water at sea, and is well known in the navy. Mr Wales, from whom I had the latitude and longitude, found the variation of the needle to be 7° 14' 12" E., and the dip of its south end 45° 2' 3/4. He also observed the time of high water, on the full and change days, to be about 5h 45m; and the tide to rise and fall three feet.
This is a splendid route, with magnificent views to the left and north, and some to be lingered over in the opposite direction, and the finest of all when the slender needle of Salisbury spire pierces the blue ahead. Three miles out of Shaftesbury a road leaves the main route on the left for Donhead St.
Surely it is not thinking of the camel which, when pursued, buries its head in the sand, but of the ostrich which, when pursued, runs its eye through a needle." It was a lucky hit. No one had heard it before, and our party broke up with Mr. Pulitzer in high good humor. So the days passed. I saw a great deal of Mr.
So Annie remained where she was, much, I must confess, to her inward content. The youth and the maiden met every day�-the youth unembarrassed, and the maiden reserved and shy, even to the satisfaction of the mother. But he did not see them, or hear the divine measures to which her needle flew, as she laboured to arm him against the cold of those regions
Day by day and hour by hour we can find a certain chunk in the transitory life of nature and of that chunk we say, 'There is Cleopatra's Needle. If we define the Needle in a sufficiently abstract manner we can say that it never changes.
The story of God's universe lies in the growth of the individual soul. Kirsty's growth had been as yet quiet and steady. Once more as she shifted her needle her glance went flitting over the waste before her. This time there was more life in sight.
But, at the prospect of this quest, so much like that of the proverbial needle in a haystack, as I did not even know my sister's married name and something within me forbade my asking it, I experienced an odd sense of elation followed by a certainty of success which in five minutes changed me from an irresponsible girl to a woman with a deliberate purpose in life.
From the point at which they are blocked the distance to the arch that spans the passage is about 18 feet. It will be noticed that the floor of this passage is level with the 'needle, which on this side, moreover, has been broken through so as to open out like a funnel. There is little doubt that this crypt is the work of Wilfrid.
