And then I woke, and it all happened. When he came, I felt as if I had called him." The dasher of the churn was still, and Glory stood, breathless, in a white excitement, gazing into Faith's eyes. "And so you did, Miss Faith! Somehow through the dreamland you certainly did!" Faith went in to her aunt, and Glory churned and pondered.
In this connection the Thames is of an especial interest, for it had, in proportion to its length, the greatest section of navigable non-tidal water of any of the shorter rivers in Europe. Until the digging of the Thames and Severn Canal at the end of last century it was possible, and even common, for boats to reach Cricklade, or at any rate the mouth of the Churn.
A wag searched for the Pagliacci record, and set the gramophone to churn out "Vesti la Giubba." The guests stayed to listen politely to a few revue melodies, and then slipped away. The rest turned in immediately, in view of the jobs at early dawn. "Night, everybody," said one of the flight-commanders. "Meet you at Mossy-Face in the morning!"
This combined churn and butter-worker completes the process of butter-making, and when the golden mass is taken out it is ready to be packed for the English market.

The farmers thought her a strange girl, and wondered at the ways of a farmer's daughter who was not content to milk cows and churn butter and fry pork, without further hope or thought.
But the cow was not a perfect animal, after all. Among other things, Smith assured the judge that she had a splendid appetite. He said that she was the easiest cow with her feed that he ever saw; she would eat almost anything, and she was generally hungry. At the end of the first week after she came, Mrs. Twiddler concluded to churn.
About ten o'clock the steamer's lines were cast off, the gang-plank was drawn ashore, the screw began to churn the green water into boiling foam astern, and, amid shouted good-bys and the waving of handkerchiefs from the pier, we moved slowly out into the stream, dipped our ensign to the Lancaster, Commodore Remey's flagship, and proceeded down the bay in the direction of Sand Key light.
