Her niece had seen her and approached, as the machinery began to still for the dinner-hour. "Morning, Sarah. Can you do such wonders as Miss Dinnett?" she asked. "No, Aunt Nelly. I'm a spreader minder. But I'll be a spinner some day, if Mr. Roberts likes for me to stop, here after I'm married." "Sarah would soon learn to spin," declared Sabina.
Take my tip and come to the show and make a night of it. Waldron's going to be there. He's hunting this morning." "I know." The dinner bell had rung and now there came a knock at Raymond's door. Then Sabina entered and was departing again, but her lover bade her stay. "Don't go, Sabina. This is my friend, Mr. Motyer Miss Dinnett."
"No, Bert have no fear of Peter Grim," answered Mr. Churchouse. "His looks belie him. He has a forbidding face but a friendly heart." "He looks cruel fierce." "He does, but though a great sportsman, he has a most amiable nature." Having ministered to Bert, Mr. Churchouse retired with his book and paper. Then came Mary Dinnett, red-eyed and in some agitation.
Raymond saw the name of Sabina Dinnett. "I'll be there to help you," he promised. "Nicholas Roberts is the lover of Miss Northover," explained Estelle, "and Benny Cogle is the lover of Miss Gale.

The speech that now passed, however, proceeded on a false foundation, for Raymond only told Arthur what he pleased and garbled the facts by withholding what was paramount. "You were talking of Sabina Dinnett last night," he said. "What would you think if I told you I was going to marry her, Waldron?" "A big 'if. But you're not going to tell me so.
Others tended the drawers and rovers, while Sabina Dinnett, Nancy Buckler and Alice Chick, whose high task it was to spin, seemed to twinkle here, there and everywhere in a corybantic measure as they served the shouting and insatiable monsters that turned hemp and flax to yarn.
Nicholas Roberts arrived with his future wife, Sarah Northover; Sabina Dinnett came with Nancy Buckler and Sally Groves from the Carding Machine, while Alice Chick brought old Mrs. Chick; Mercy Gale came too a fair, florid girl, who warped the yarn when it was spun. Mr.
You would very soon be grumbling if Mrs. Dinnett put the deepest mysteries and noblest problems of life before the price of sprats. It is true that man cannot live by bread alone; and it is equally true that he cannot live without it. The highest flights are impossible without cooking, and cooking would be impossible if all aspired to the highest flights." "As a matter of fact, Mrs.
Churchouse here is the best gentleman on God's earth; but he don't understand a mother's heart how should he? and he don't know what a lot women have got to hide from men for their own self-respect, and because men as a body are such clumsy-minded fools speaking generally, of course." To see even Mrs. Dinnett dealing thus in ideas excited Ernest and filled him with interest.
