"What, Monsieur Lampron, do you know Monsieur Mouillard?" "As you apparently do, too, Madame Plumet." "Oh, yes! I know him well; he won my action, you know." "Ah, to be sure-against the cabinet-maker. Is your husband in?" "Yes, sir, in the workshop. Plumet!"
I now reflected that there were other manual occupations besides that of the plough. Among these none had fewer disadvantages than that of carpenter or cabinet-maker. I had no knowledge of this art; but neither custom, nor law, nor the impenetrableness of the mystery, required me to serve a seven years' apprenticeship to it.
The citoyenne Duplay, wife of a cabinet-maker with whom Robespierre lodged, and who looked after the affairs of that eminent citizen, patronized, unfortunately, the Descoings establishment. She considered the opinions of the grocer insulting to Maximilian the First.
On this he could live in Provins and be near Pierrette; he would choose the best cabinet-maker in the town, and learn the rest of his trade in working for him, and thus keep watch over his darling. Brigaut's mind was made up as he sat there thinking.
Honore lived a cabinet-maker, named Duplay, and in his house lodged Maximilian Robespierre, the leading spirit in the latter and more terrible days of the Revolution.

The man was making a piece of furniture to order; the boys had done the rough work, and he was finishing it.
'A woman wishes for a little child to bottle. Is not that capital?" "Here is also a good one," said Wilhelm, who had turned over the leaves of the book: "'A boy of the Mosaic belief may be apprenticed to a cabinet-maker, but he need not apply unless he will eat everything that happens to be in the house. That is truly a hard condition for the poor lad."
This was done to injure them in their business, by pointing them out to the malice and the vengeance of my opponents. But I will now publish a list for a very different purpose, to hand their names down to posterity, as follows: Bristol. July 22, 1812. Those marked fr. are Freeholders, and voted as such. Attwood John, cabinet-maker, Castle Precincts. Atkins George, tiler and plasterer, St.
I renovated and upholstered the next lot of chairs myself, and was proud of the result, though the work was attended by certain unpleasant features, and required time. On the whole, I concluded to let the cabinet-maker undertake the heavy lounge that came next, and was in pieces, as if a cyclone had struck it somewhere back in the forties and it had been lying in a heap, ever since.
