Her heart was scalded, she said, wid the prices she'd only get for her early chuckens, and they the weight of the world, if you'd feel them in your hand; and poor Mad Bell, that 'ud mostly bring home a few odd shillin's wid her, was away since afore last Christmas, and might never show her face there agin, the crathur; and the poor Dummy gone, that was great at the knittin' if she got the chance a bit of narration which would look funny enough in anybody's rental.
"And it don't look natural neither to see a man playin' the pianner it's like seein' him knittin'." But Lancelot was knitting his brows in a way that was exceedingly natural.

Now it's up to us to live so that we get the most out of life for us an' the children. Those are mighty nice children of yours, Kate. I take to that boy something amazin', and the girl is the nicest little old lady I've seen in many a day. I think we will like knittin' and sewin' together, to the top of our bent." "My, but I'm glad you like them, Mother," said Kate.

They say our Dunnet stockin's is gettin' to be celebrated up to Boston, good quality o' wool an' even knittin' or somethin'. I've always been called a pretty hand to do nettin', but seines is master cheap to what they used to be when they was all hand worked.
