Sometimes it is thought that the person who binds the last sheaf on the field will die in the course of next year. The reason for fixing on the reaper, binder, or thresher of the last corn as the representative of the corn-spirit may be this. The corn-spirit is supposed to lurk as long as he can in the corn, retreating before the reapers, the binders, and the threshers at their work.
Lestrange had been thinking how to have the binder under his eye, and yet not seem to watch a fellow so much above his notion of a working man; the family made very little use of the library, and Richard's proposal seemed just the thing. He would be sure to stick to his work where some one might any moment be coming in! "I don't see any difficulty," he answered.
Leave at home all your guineas, ye who enter here, would be a good motto to put over his door, unless you have them in plenty and can spare them, in which case Take all your guineas with you would be a better one. For you can here get their equivalent, and more than their equivalent, in the choicest products of the press and the finest work of the illuminator, the illustrator, and the binder.
For some time past the inhabitants of Berlin had paid a great deal of attention to the doings of Doctor Binder, and told each other wonderful stories of the new medical system of this strange physician. He treated his patients in an entirely novel way, and performed his cures in a manner bordering strongly on the romantic and miraculous.
Binder; I met him at the Thersites' Lodge down Brixham way only the other day. One of those men I respect. Binder. No respecter of persons talks to me or you or any of them just the same. Binder! BALD: Ar! it's a case of "Well done, Condor!" CAP: Ar! you're right there, Mr. Binder. Mowle. Condor."
"The ice bends a good deal," said Mr. Wood to a man standing next to us. "They say it's not so like to break when it bends," was the reply; and the man moved on. A good many of the elder men from the village had come up, and a group, including John Binder, now stood alongside of us.
Joe Williams had taken the tractor and binder and gone to the wheat field and was busy cutting his wheat. As fast as the farmers arrived, they adjourned to the field to see the tractor work. As the wheat field was not far from the meadows, they all had a chance to see Bob's apiary, where Tony was busy hiving a colony of bees that had swarmed that morning.
He speaks French well enough to address the Académie; he speaks English as well as a cultivated American, and no one speaks it more distinctly, more crisply, more trippingly upon the tongue, these days; he preaches a capital sermon; he is an accomplished binder of books; he is a successful and enthusiastic farmer, and he is frankly audacious in his loves and hatreds, his ambitions and his beliefs.
"Ah!" said Binder, tenderly, "'tis not my eyes that have acted the spies, but my heart, and " "Baron Binder," interrupted Kaunitz, "you are not under this roof to dissect my sentiments, or to confide to me your own; you are here to assist me as a statesman. Go, therefore, and confine your efforts to the business of your office." Binder heaved a sigh, and obeyed.
"Your highness is beyond the comprehension of ordinary men," said Binder, with a good-humored smile. "I believe so," replied Kaunitz, with truthful simplicity; while he carefully placed his paper, pens, lines, and penknife in the drawer wherein they belonged. The door opened, and a servant announced his excellency Osman Pacha, ambassador of the Ottoman Porte.
