Even John Barclay sees the seams and basting threads of his life here, and as for the others, the colonel and Jake and the general and Watts, and even Molly, what do these people mean to you, these common people, in their old clothes, with their old hearts and their rusty sins and their homely sorrows?
That will be something to do." And looking ahead she saw days of endless stitching and basting, of endless gossip accompanied by the cheerful whirring of the little dressmaker's machine. "I used to pity Miss Willy because she was obliged to work," she thought with surprise, "but now I almost envy her. I wonder if it is work that keeps her so young and brisk?
