It was the work of Herschel to discover that it was not a fixed star, but had a defined and distinct orbit that could be calculated. To look up at the heavens and pick out a star that could only be seen with a telescope pick it out of millions and ascertain its movement seems like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack.
"Didn't leave a square yard of country unturned from the Falling Wall to the Crazy Woman." "Will they ever find Hawk?" "Did you ever find a needle in a haystack?" "I never looked for one." "Them fellows are looking for the stack. They can't locate the hay. Slip me that Worcestershire sauce, Belle. Yours truly. No more potatoes. This is a good piece of ham, Belle.
The Deacon was a distant relative of the dead man, and it was generally admitted that he "would have a time of it" in administering upon the estate. At last the word was whispered about that the Elder was coming. Word was sent to the smoke-house and to the haystack to call the stragglers in.
"I calculate that damage amounts to about ten dollars. I burned down a haystack belonging to farmer Dale yesterday. Twenty dollars, he says. I've agreed to pay him, and I want you to see the school trustees to-day and explain to them that I'll pay for the desk and the chimney. I told Mr. Dale I would give him my note. I can't just now, but I will mail one, signed, to you."
"What's the matter?" called Fred, when he was within speaking distance. "I'm caught tangled up in some devilish thing," came back the cry. Fred hurried forward, and found a man, almost covered with snow, huddled beside a haystack, his clothing securely held by the barbs of the wire with which the stack was fenced.
However, under the circumstances, it seemed no great matter to John to lose his way, and rather pleasant than otherwise to sleep in a haystack within a mile of the dwelling of Martha Turner.
He gave Mark much good advice on the way, such as wealthy uncles seem to secrete and exude almost unconsciously, as toads yield moisture; but Mark paid only a moderate degree of attention to it as they spun past the low dim edges; he hardly noticed what could be seen along the road even, which was not much a gable-end or a haystack starting out for an instant from the fog, or a shadowy labourer letting himself through a gate he was thinking of the girl whose eyes had met his the afternoon before.
Moreover, I will umpire if the tide turns against us." The Treasure only consented to play after much pressure. He said: "You know what the wicket is like; it's simply mountainous, and black men have no control over their bowling. For you medium-sized chaps it may be comparatively safe, but bowling at me is like bowling at a haystack you cannot miss.
Complete records are especially necessary in our great city with its constant removals and changes of population. The individual is like the proverbial needle in the haystack, unless we adopt a method of accounting not only for each family but for each individual down to the latest-born child.
The peasantry, who occasionally brought her food, of course soon gave her a name, and, as she was evidently a gentlewoman, they called her the lady of the haystack. Hannah More, who had unquestionably some humanity, though she was rather too fond of its public exhibition, made her the heroine of a tale, and thus drew upon her considerable notice.
