He had a wise man, who well knew of craft, who took this hide, and laid it on a board, and whet his shears, as if he would shear. Of the hide he carved a thong, very small and very long, the thong was not very broad, but as it were a thread of twine; when the thong was all slit, it was wondrously long, about therewith he encompassed a great deal of land.
A dozen times he would have left the room, but a silken thread held him back, the thought of Lou. "I shall be terse and entirely frank," said the colonel, and at once Donnegan reared triple guard and balanced himself for attack or defense. "Between you and me," went on the fat man, "deceptive words are folly. A waste of energy." He flushed a little.
These rubbed themselves against me, and did not hurt me, being my familiars. They did this to make me a clever man and a doctor. At the end of the thread was Wombu, the bird of Baiame.

In order to make the central plait broader take up rather less material with the needle; this will decrease the outer and increase the inner lines. Another similar but more simple stitch, often seen in Eastern work, is shown in fig. 71.
These are helps in business which should be highly esteemed. I have an experience of many years in such matters, and it has been brought home to me often, that when two are alone the thread drops more frequently and is not picked up because of false shame. The moment when it could be picked up passes, people separate in silence, and are annoyed.
