If some were slack and others tight it would be very awkward to correct afterwards, and impossible to weave upon properly if incorrect. To carry out the fixing as in the diagram, the roller must be turned so that the groove comes just at the centre in the front. Four lines of warp-thread are then fixed from end to end of the roller, two above and two below the groove.
"I jumped up, lighted the gas, got pencil and paper and went back to bed and worked it out. And here it is." He drew a carefully folded slip of paper from his pocket and handed it across to Mills. The diagram, just as the head coach received it, is reproduced here. Mills studied it for a minute in silence; once he grunted; once he looked wonderingly up at Sydney.
I thought of Tennyson's words: "Broad-based upon her people's will," and felt that there was more in the rude little diagram than in many subtle and learned arguments. It was not only from my intercourse with Mr. Toulmin that I derived mental profit in those days.
He had misunderstood Uncle Andy's apparently simple statement of fact. And he felt convicted of foolishness. Anxious to reinstate himself in his uncle's approval by an unexpected display of knowledge he waived "metaphorical" aside, let "diagram" remain a mystery, and remarked disinterestedly: "Well, I'm glad there ain't any swordfish in Silverwater." "Bless the child!" cried Uncle Andy.
Thus the first, third, fifth, &c., turns of the cord cross in the middle the second, fourth, sixth, &c., forming a series of elongated figures 8, as shown in the following diagram and making, in the very beginning of the process, the two sheds, which are kept distinct throughout the whole work.
"Yes," he drawled, with a suspicious grin; "I reckon you feel a whole lot like congratulatin' me." "I do," she said. "Of course you were not to have the idol just yet, but it is better for you to have it before the time than that the Taggarts should get hold of it." "Do you know where the idol is hid?" he asked. She told him no, that she had never consulted the diagram.
Could there be any doubt in her mind that it had been resolved to circularize the provinces with Leaflet No. 3, or to issue a statistical diagram showing the proportion of married women to spinsters in New Zealand; or that the net profits of Mrs. Hipsley's Bazaar had reached a total of five pounds eight shillings and twopence half-penny?
But, the sides and ends being sewed to the roof made it unhandy to use as a shelter, when shelter was needed on short notice. So I ripped the back ends of the sides loose from the flap, leaving it, when spread out, as shown in the diagram.
Archie picked up several bundles of the bills and turned them over, reflecting that to his other crimes he had now added the receipt and concealment of stolen money. "Dinner in an hour, Archie," said the Governor, who was drawing a diagram of some sort on a sheet of inn paper.
It was now he and Ian. There was no strain. "Old Steadfast" and "Old Saracen," and a long pilgrimage together, and every difference granted, yet, in the background, a vast, an oceanic unity.... Ian rose from the settle. He and the laird of Glenfernie sat by the table and with pen and paper made a diagram of escape.
