Well, he began with taking off the case, and so on from one liberty to another, until he got it fairly open, and there were the works, as good as if they were alive, crown-wheel, balance-wheel, and all the rest. All right except one thing, there was a confounded little hair had got tangled round the balance-wheel.
But his son Sir John, and his son-in-law Guy Johnson, and the Butlers, father and son, and now to them added our masterful young Master Philip these own no such steadying balance-wheel of common-sense. They have no restraining notion of public interest. Their sole idea is to play the aristocrat, to surround themselves with menials, to make their neighbors concede to them submission and reverence.
She and Samson Rawdy thoroughly enjoyed the occasion, and he was, moreover, quite free from any money anxiety regarding it. At first he had been considerably exercised.

"Carroll has been speakin' to me about providin' carriages for his daughter's weddin', an' I dunno about it," said he.
He looked after the important things and left details to others. As with every man who is a constructive force in the world of affairs, Sam's friends and relatives shook their heads said that he needed a balance-wheel. This was dinned into his ears so often that he finally came to believe it.

Take a couple of watches made by the same maker, and as completely alike as possible; set them upon the table, and the function of each which is its rate of going will be performed in the same manner, and you shall be able to distinguish no difference between them; but let me take a pair of pincers, and if my hand is steady enough to do it, let me just lightly crush together the bearings of the balance-wheel, or force to a slightly different angle the teeth of the escapement of one of them, and of course you know the immediate result will be that the watch, so treated, from that moment will cease to go.
"It was a brave act," Lane remarked, folding up the sheet and putting it in his pocket.... As soon as they entered, Alice came down to them from the sick room.
