A petition was addressed to the Home Secretary, advancing the circumstances which appeared to justify a request for a reconsideration of the sentence. It was not "numerously signed" by the inhabitants of Caster- bridge, as is usual in such cases, for Boldwood had never made many friends over the counter.
No wonder Sam said, as he pulled a piece of ice as big as a pepper caster off the fur edge of his cap, that had there formed from his breath: "This beats all the lodging houses I ever heard of. Faith, and where is the landlord?" Alec's practical reply was: "Well, there will be no bill to pay in the morning, anyway."
On a dark night, a few days later, Oak came with mysterious steps from the surrogate's door, in Caster- bridge. On the way home he heard a heavy tread in front of him, and, overtaking the man, found him to be Coggan.
This last was made in my presence, and with the expressed intention of duplicating the Moro box. However, in this case, as in all others, the Bagobo caster did not attempt to exactly reproduce the work of another, but simply borrowed a broad idea, and thus he often creates new forms. See LING ROTH, Oriental Silver Work.
A battered tin platter, a knife and fork, and a tin pint cup, were at each man's place, and the driver had a queens-ware saucer that had seen better days. Of course this duke sat at the head of the table. There was one isolated piece of table furniture that bore about it a touching air of grandeur in misfortune. This was the caster.
"Come at last, is it?" said Henery. "Well, what about Fanny?" said Bathsheba. "Well, ma'am, in round numbers, she's run away with the soldiers." said William. "No; not a steady girl like Fanny!" "I'll tell ye all particulars. When I got to Caster, bridge Barracks, they said, " The Eleventh Dragoon- Guards be gone away, and new troops have come."
Years afterwards Rebecca Mary remembered the dizzy dance of the bottles in the caster they seemed to join hands and sway and swing about their silver circlet and how Aunt Olivia's buttons marched and countermarched up and down Aunt Olivia's alpaca dress. She did not look above the buttons she did not dare to. If she was to keep right on being a Plummer, she must not cry.
The villa was of yellowish grey stucco with brown-stone trim, Gothic in style, and had so many towers, oriels, and gables, that when Waddell's brother saw it and was asked what he would call it, replied, "Waddell's Caster; here is a mustard pot, there is a pepper bottle, and there is a vinegar cruet."
The ink-well was formerly accompanied by a sand box or a pounce caster, in modern days superseded by a second ink-well. The sand casters for sprinkling pounce or sand upon newly written pages were a necessity before the days of blotting paper. Perhaps some day blotters, blotting pads, and the like, may become collectable curios!
An ingenious toy called the zoltrope, which was based on this optical illusion, was made long before Edison invented the vitascope, Herman Caster the biograph and mutoscope, or the Lumiere brothers in France devised the cinematograph. All these different moving-picture machines work on the same principle, differing only in their mechanism.
