He set to work more carefully then, picking them up by handfuls, examining and discarding. Within ten minutes he had in a pile beside him some burned and blackened metal buttons, the eyelets and a piece of leather from a shoe, and the almost unrecognizable nib of a fountain pen. He sat with them in the palm of his hand. Taken alone, each one was insignificant, proved nothing whatever.
Undoubtedly many points belonging to this essay perhaps of the greatest necessity, fitness and importance to it have been left out or forgotten. But the amount of the whole matter poems, preface and everything is merely to make one of those little punctures or eyelets the actors possess in the theatre-curtains to look out upon "the house" one brief, honest, living glance.
Nor did it take me much longer, once I was sure of the method, to roll over heavily and begin to yank the metal buttons off my coat. Since the many guards fully twenty of them made no move to interfere, I did not stop until I had torn every button off my clothing, dumped from my pockets every object which had a scrap of metal on it, and even dug the metal eyelets out of my shoes.
The circumference of the garter would suggest this, for your neck is thin, and the garter fits you. But then again I notice I notice most things that the garter is capable of being much enlarged. These small silver-rimmed eyelets, of which I count five, are proof of that. And now I observe that the fifth eyelet is worn out, as though the tongue of the clasp were accustomed to lie there.
A slim, sallow, sleek, sad-eyed gigolo in tight French garments, the pants rather flappy at the ankle; effeminate French shoes with fawn-coloured uppers and patent-leather eyelets and vamps, most despicable; a slim cane; hair with a magnificent natural wave that looked artificially marcelled and that was worn with a strip growing down from the temples on either side in the sort of cut used only by French dandies and English stage butlers.
The studs and eyelets along two edges of the tent knapsack are for the purpose of fastening a number of them together, and thus making a sheet of larger dimensions. "A sheet formed by fastening together four knapsacks was exhibited to the Board, stretched upon a frame of wood.
They should lace with eyelets and be well provided with leather cleats to prevent slipping. A beginner at football can gain a lot of valuable points by carefully watching the practice of his team from the side lines.
There Dillon collected many relics of the shipwreck: iron utensils, anchors, eyelets from pulleys, swivel guns, an eighteen-pound shell, the remains of some astronomical instruments, a piece of sternrail, and a bronze bell bearing the inscription "Made by Bazin," the foundry mark at Brest Arsenal around 1785. There could no longer be any doubt.
The cobbler, who made shoes for the entire household, sat working at the same time in the men-servants' quarters, and one never tired of watching him as he cut the leather and soled and heeled the shoes and put eyelets in the shoestring holes. But the greatest rush came around Christmas time.
There are machines to split leather, to make the thickness absolutely uniform, to sew the uppers, to insert eyelets, to cut out heel tops, and many more. In fact, division of labor has been carried farther in the making of shoes than in most industries, for there are said to be about three hundred separate operations in making a pair of shoes. From small beginnings great industries have grown.
