Jim, aged fifty, slim of build, sinewy, even-tempered, quiet, willing, was the farmer and handyman. Crops grew, orchards bloomed, vines bore a full vintage, and bushes yielded because he made them do so. Without splutter or fuss, he did his work, and liked to do it. The teamwork of Mrs. Gillis was equally effective. One could not say however that her work was done as quietly.
The author has no royalties; and no control over the future of his work, which a Shakspere or a Bacon, a Jonson or a Chettle, or any handyman of the company owning the play, may alter as he pleases.
When Patrick announced that he was dropping out, his father seemed to think it was fine. "Don't burn any bridges, Pat. You can go back to school later, if you want. Or come work with me." His father was about to retire from the Army and was planning to settle in Florida and work for himself as a handyman.
"You promised me long ago that I could have Mr. Handyman to myself the next time he came. But, no, it was Shakespeare and Church matters, and so I was pushed aside." They all laughed heartily at her words and gestures, and the professor at last agreed that they should play two games. Then he had something important to say.
With the advent of Monday morning, the Golden Crescent Trading Company, in charge of George Bremner, handyman, store-clerk, bookkeeper, buyer and general superintendent, opened its doors for business.

Douglas glanced at the clock and was surprised to find that it was nearly nine. He rose at once to his feet. "I must go now," he remarked. "It would not do for me to keep you up late."
Such is "politics" or "politicising." "Politics" as a source of livelihood takes many forms, some less legitimate than others. The most usual source of office-holding is the humble work of the clerk, handyman or messenger, responsible for carrying out the nagging routine of government. Beyond this common labor of public service are public servants skilled in their several professions.
The little ancient disreputable car had been repaired by Rodding, the village handyman, who by some conjuring trick had made it run again. Marjorie started it. She had made up her mind. She would go to Hurst Dormer, she would see Hugh and and quite what she would do she did not know.
But he tried to make up for this lack of knowledge by telling of the numerous stories which were in circulation about Douglas. Nell listened to them all, though she made no comment. But deep in her heart she believed that there was considerable truth in what she heard. That John Handyman was some one in disguise, she had imagined for some time.
You are the first I have talked to in this way about my work. Nell! Nan!" he called. "What is it, father?" Nell asked, as she at that instant appeared carrying a large tray in her hands. "Bring the work, Nell. I want to show it to Mr. Handyman." "Suppose you wait until after supper, father," his daughter suggested.
