This depression was the consequence partly of the continental system, crippling the export of British goods to European countries; partly of the revival, in February, 1811, of the American non-intercourse act, closing the vast market of the United States; and partly of the improvements in machinery, especially those in spinning and weaving machines introduced by the inventions of Cartwright and Arkwright.
I wish you could see that house, Arkwright. It's a regular layer cake. Cyril he's the second brother; must be thirty-four or five now lives on the top floor in a rugless, curtainless, music-mad existence just a plain crank. Below him comes William. William collects things everything from tenpenny nails to teapots, I should say, and they're all there in his rooms.
The negro sensed some of the innumerable difficulties of this white boy's life, and once, as he walked on over the silent needles, he felt an impulse to turn back and talk to young Sam Arkwright, to sit down and try to explain to the youth what he could of this hazardous adventure called Life. But then, he reflected, very likely the boy would be offended at a serious talk from a negro.
Arkwright. As I said before, we're friends the best of friends; that is all. We couldn't be anything else, possibly!" Billy, plainly discomfited, fell back; but she threw a sharp glance into her friend's flushed countenance. "You mean because of Hugh Calderwell?" she demanded.
"Of course," said Arkwright satirically. "He has ability to do things. He has strength. ... He isn't like us." Arkwright winced. "I'm afraid you exaggerate him, merely because he's different." "He makes me feel an added contempt for myself, somehow. Doesn't he you?" "I can't say he does," replied Arkwright, irritated.
Are we going to put on the title-page: 'Words by Mary Jane Arkwright' or will you unveil the mystery for us now?" "Have you guessed it?" he bantered. "No unless it's 'Methuselah John. We did think of that the other day." "Wrong again!" he laughed. "Then it'll have to be 'Mary Jane," retorted Billy, with calm naughtiness, refusing to meet Aunt Hannah's beseechingly reproving eyes.
Do not the constructive fingers of Watt, Fulton, Whittemore, Arkwright, predict the fusible, hard, and temperable texture of metals, the properties of stone, water, and wood? Do not the lovely attributes of the maiden child predict the refinements and decorations of civil society? Here also we are reminded of the action of man on man.
"Did you not tell her what you have told me?" "I did not. What was the use? It was because of my discovery of the knife and seeing you, and receiving that letter, that I refused to marry, and so fell in with my mother's plans." "Juliet, you are not engaged to Arkwright?" "No. I am engaged to you and you only. I mean I only pretended that I would not marry you.
Arkwright consented to let Eleanor go also. Hence ball dresses, and hence also our opportunity for learning how to make them. For they were to be made by a dressmaker in the house, and she did not reject our assistance. The dresses were very successful, and so was the ball.
They sang then, one after another of the duets. To Billy, the music was new and interesting. "Oh, oh!" she breathed ecstatically, after the last note of a particularly beautiful phrase. "I never knew before how lovely it was to sing duets." "Nor I," replied Arkwright in a voice that was not quite steady. Arkwright's eyes were on the enraptured face of the girl so near him.
