The Necessity for Variety in Study A Carver's View of the Study of Architecture; Inseparable from a Study of his own Craft Importance of the Carpenter's Stimulating Influence upon the Carver Carpenter's Imitation of Stone Construction Carried too Far.
One of the most beautiful sets of rare historic value now on view in the Victoria and Albert Museum is part of a set of fourteen, the ivory handles being carved to represent the kings and queens of England. These rare examples of the English cutler's and ivory carver's art, dated 1607, have blades damascened with gold.
"Father is going to name her for me, and I am to be the figurehead; come to the carver's shop and see me," said Berinthia with sparkling eyes and merry laugh. They went into a little shop where a good-looking young man, with chisels, gouges, and mallet, was fashioning the bust of a woman. Tom introduced him as Abraham Duncan. Robert noticed a lighting up of Mr.
Oh, sweetest of all sweet melodies! The sentinel took me for that vile Carver; who was like enough to be prowling there, for private talk with Lorna; but not very likely to shout forth his name, if it might be avoided. The watchman, perceiving the danger perhaps of intruding on Carver's privacy, not only retired along the cliff, but withdrew himself to good distance.
So Philip Ludwell with two boats went out under cover of darkness. As they approached the ship the soldiers on deck hesitated to fire on them, thinking they were coming at Carver's invitation. So they drew up alongside and clambered in through the gunroom ports. As they rushed up on deck they were joined by the sailors with handspikes, and together they soon forced the soldiers to surrender.
Carver's associates and the errand upon which he had gone, I imagined I could guess the cause of his delay. But I did not speak my guess. "The storm is not as severe just now," I said. "I can get to your house in a little while, if you are willing I should leave you." She put her hand on my arm. "Come," she said. "Shall we start now?" "But you must not go.
The air on deck would have been warm even on a colder day, for in one corner a bright fire was burning. It would seem strange now, would it not, to see a fire on the deck of a vessel? But in those days, when the weather was pleasant, people on shipboard did their cooking on deck. The Pilgrims had no stoves, and Mistress Carver's maid had built this fire on a large hearth covered with sand.
Paulina replied, "So much the more the carver's excellence, who has made the statue as Hermione would have looked had she been living now. But let me draw the curtain, sire, lest presently you think it moves." The king then said, "Do not draw the curtain! Would I were dead! See, Camillo, would you not think it breathed? Her eye seems to have motion in it."
Fired by no tradition of the horse that went to the undoing of Troy, and with no plan before him, he set his framework together, nailing with unerring hand. Did he need a design, he who had brooded over his bliss these many months when Tiverton thought he was "jest lazin' round?" Nay, it was to be "all wrought out of the carver's brain," and the brain was ready.
Without hesitation Paterson stepped forward and dealt a tremendous blow with his fist on Carver's nose. "Ye ken what that's for I needna tell ye," said Paterson; and Kinlay reeled over and fell upon the floor, while Jack Paterson walked quietly into the street. The explanation of this swift chastisement was this. There had that morning been a small indignation meeting of Stromness fishermen.
