"If it hadn't been for men like you and Nicholas Weaver, my father would never be in prison." The words were out before I knew it. They were most injudicious ones. "What do you mean?" gasped the man.
He scraped earth and plaster out of a corner and sat down to make a little model of the landscape on the table, following the contours of the map. He did it extraordinarily neatly, for, like all great hunters, he was as deft as a weaver bird. He puzzled over it for a long time, and conned the map till he must have got it by heart.
Of course, she told it incompletely; and her father was rather 'taken aback' by the idea of the drunken weaver awaiting him in his quiet study, with whom he was expected to drink tea, and on whose behalf Margaret was anxiously pleading. The meek, kind-hearted Mr.
In the way of actual technique there is in the art of tapestry weaving not nearly as much to be learnt as there is in embroidery, for there are no varieties of methods and of stitch to be acquired; still for a person to become a skilled weaver, capable of carrying out large wall hangings, is a thing very difficult of attainment indeed it is said that it takes as long as fifteen years of constant application to acquire the necessary knowledge and skill.
Now as all the world knows, that no effect in nature can be produced without a cause, and as it is as well known, that my uncle Toby was neither a weaver a gardener, or a gladiator unless as a captain, you will needs have him one but then he was only a captain of foot and besides, the whole is an equivocation There is nothing left for us to suppose, but that my uncle Toby's leg but that will avail us little in the present hypothesis, unless it had proceeded from some ailment in the foot whereas his leg was not emaciated from any disorder in his foot for my uncle Toby's leg was not emaciated at all.
But you must forgive him, because he is well-meaning, and because his conceit has made a fool of him. They're not all like him. But how is your daughter? 'Very poorly, sir.

Having had as much claret as they cared for, the gentlemen fluttered gaily into the drawing-room, and Puddock, who made up to Miss Gertrude, and had just started afresh, and in a rather more sentimental vein, was a good deal scandalised, and put out by the general's reciting with jolly emphasis, and calling thereto his daughter's special attention, his receipt for 'surprising a weaver, which he embellished with two or three burlesque improvements of his own, which Puddock, amidst his blushes and confusion, allowed to pass without a protest.
"I've known you were one ever since the day you wanted to go back and tell where Weaver was hidden. You and your pony scattered the evidence around then, just as you're doing here," the ranger answered. "You've got it cooked up to put me through," Dixon insisted desperately.
