"Sire," returned Louvois, reddening with auger, "you yourself were of the opinion that Prince Eugene of Savoy " "Sir," interrupted the king, haughtily, "I am of opinion that when you scorned Prince Eugene, you were lamentably deficient in judgment; and that, if he is now shedding lustre upon the arms of Austria, it is because you repulsed him when he would have entered the service of France."
A sharp axe, an adze, a shaving knife, a round edged adze, and a small auger, are principally necessary; and a cross-cut saw, broad-axe, sledge, and large sized chisel, will also be found useful. In any case the log should not be much less than two feet in diameter, perfectly sound, and free from knots.
When he took the auger out, the sap did not follow, but Butterwick's wife's uncle said what it wanted was a little time, and so, while the folks waited, he put a fresh armful of wood on the fire.
They went out and bought a one-inch auger and a three-sixteenths bradawl, a thick footstool and a satchel. This latter they packed with a loaf, some cheese, a packet of figs, a few bottles of soda water and a flask of whisky.
But in the end he only felt his own auger rising in answer to the sullenness of the men. Their sallow faces and eyes weakened by long years of the pit expressed little but what there was spelt war. Nor did his visits to what might be called his own side give him much more satisfaction.
Finally, Belton fastened a strong rope to the weight, and ran the rope under the schoolhouse floor until it was immediately beneath his seat. With an auger he made a hole in the floor and brought the end through. He managed to keep this bit of rope concealed, while at the same time he had perfect command of his trap door.
The announcement briefly described the farm property, and among other values mentioned five hundred cords of rock-maple wood ready to cut and go to market. "That's that old sugar lot up by the big ledge, where Willis and Ben were making syrup," said I. "Ad, whatever did you do with that pocketful of auger chips?" Addison glanced at me queerly. He seemed disturbed, but said nothing.
Quickly he inserted the pointed end into the hole he had been trying to cover with his hand. "Give me a hammer or something to knock with and I'll try to drive this into the hole. It's not a butt, it's an auger hole!" "An auger hole?" both boys gasped in horror. "An auger hole!" repeated Harry, his lips set and white. "Just a little more and we'd have been beyond all help.
Their adzes and axes were of stone. The gouge most commonly used by them was made out of the bone of the human forearm. Their substitute for a knife was a shell, or a bit of flint or jasper. A shark's tooth, fixed to a piece of wood, served for an auger; a piece of coral for a file; and the skin of a sting-ray for a polisher.
And so that night, after dark, she went up to the parson in the "auger hole," and made him come out; and she took him into the town, where he was concealed by some of the Tory citizens, who were better adapted to take care of the refugee than this lone Quaker woman with her two inquisitive boys.
