Then, turning upon Jack fiercely: "You careless, wicked, ungrateful boy, that I've been wearin' myself out knittin' for. I'm almost sure you did it a purpose. You won't be satisfied till you've got me out of the world, and then then, perhaps" here Rachel began to whimper "perhaps you'll get Tom Piper's aunt to knit your stockings."

An' now, let's get on with the knittin'. I was a bit rattled when this young party steers in an' whacks 'is cock-an'-bull yarn into me 'and. 'Oo ever 'eard of a respectable British ship mixin' 'erself up with a South American revolution? The story is all moonshine on the face of it." "I think otherwise, Mr. Verity, and Mr. Bulmer, I take it, agrees with me," said the reporter.

They took us out to see it, and the whole tribe lined up on the edge. Four of the Indians jumped, and the canes went through 'em like knittin' needles through a pat of butter. No wonder we found that poor Yankee's skeleton with the canes growin' between his ribs. It was horrible but it was doocedly interestin' too.

I've got my knittin' work and am as happy as an oyster. Go back, for I ain't ready to talk yet. When I am I'll come out and bring these naughty children with me." So Jessica returned to her old friend's side; and in listening to his talk about the hospital and the friends she had made there for herself, as well as about Mr.

And it's no bad fortin', though I can't say it of my own experience; but never mind, all the same, I've seen the likes to have a brisk, cheerful daughter-in-law keepin' house, and you a-settin' by the window, knittin' and restin' from mornin' till night, and maybe little caps and clothes to make, and lots o' things to teach, that young wives don't know o' theirselves.

The women and the men, too, was gittin' ready for the fair all the year round, the women piecin' quilts and knittin' socks and weavin' carpets and puttin' up preserves and pickles, and the men raisin' fine stock; and when the fair come, it was worth goin' to, child, and worth rememberin' after you'd gone to it.

Then, with sudden energy, he advised: "Don't you never let her set you a sewin' patchwork, Kitty Keehoty. It's all on a piece with knittin' mittens for the Hottentots a waste of time. A waste o' sinful time, I mean a sinful waste of Oh, hum!" She waited till he had cooled off from his own vexation, and then asked: "Uncle Moses, will you tell me all about Montgomery's father?"

He can't do anything but sit at the window and knit plain knittin'. I don't know how he would get along, if I hadn't showed him how to do that. I believe he'd go crazy." "Don't you think that last stuff Doctor Prescott put in his eyes did him any good?" asked Mrs. Edwards. "No, I don't. He didn't think it would, himself.

"You'll miss me, Denis," said his favorite sister, who was also called Susan; "for you'll find no one in Maynewth that will keep your linen so white as I did: but never fear, I'll be always knittin' you stockings; an' every year I'll make you half-a-dozen shirts, and you'll think them more natural nor other shirts, when you know they came from your own home from them that you love!

It is slow knittin' shells are dretful slow anyway and she wuz too proud sperited to have 'em plain clam-shell pattern, which are bigger and coarser; she had to have 'em oyster-shell pattern, in ridges. Wall, as I say, I felt dubersome, but I spoke up cheerful on the outside "If you git your stockin's done, Tirzah Ann, you must be sure and come." And she said she would.
