He and Valentine, in addition to their fretwork, had taken up carpentry; and on wet afternoons, when idle hands were steeped in mischief, they were always to be found in the shed which had been set apart for the boys to use as a sort of workshop.
He had also made good progress in chemistry, physiology, mineralogy, and botany, and, at the same time, had learned carpentry and acquired some skill as a worker in metals. So studious and ambitious a youth scarcely needed the spur of poverty to induce him to make the most of his talents.

Bad also as their houses were, a chest of carpentry tools would be necessary to complete them. We cannot doubt, therefore, from these evidences, and others which might be adduced, that the Britons understood the manufactory of iron.
His work, as you know, had always been part of his religion, and from very early days he saw clearly that good carpentry was God's will was that form of God's will that most immediately concerned him.
It is only when we have lost what was most dear that we know fully what it meant. That is Fate's way with us: it cannot be amended. There will be no need for the most querulous appraiser to find fault with Mr. Holliday on the score of over-eulogy. He does not try to push sound carpentry or ready wit into genius.
