The outward appearances increase the likeness: one can almost see the traces of a knitting-needle working with coarse stitches. That is why, struck by this shape, the Provencal peasant, in his expressive language, calls the Penduline lou Debassaire, the Stocking-knitter. The early-ripening seedlets of the widows and poplars furnish the materials for the work.
We have got to the end," said Halicarnassus, roaming as to his eyes over into the wheat-field beyond. "We might turn," suggested the Anakim, looking bright. "How can you turn a horse in this knitting-needle of a lane?" I demanded.
When the required width of warp-thread is wound upon the rollers, secure the end of the string and proceed to bring the front and back leaves together by darning a knitting-needle or some similar article in and out of the threads at the centre. The same process is gone through with a second pin, which is tied to the lower roller.
"I'd rather be up next to the young man." A merry laugh, and then a sigh from the sister Lize, who looked a bit dreamy and began to tickle her head with a knitting-needle. "What are you sighing for?" said she with the beads, "Oh, well," said the other, yawning, "it makes me think o' the time when I was a girl." "Look! there's Jeanne Brulet," it was a quick whisper.
One peasant heard the witches singing a chorus of carnage at Rocbert; another saw, towards the Minquiers, a great army like a mirage upon the sea; others declared that certain French refugees in the island had the evil eye and bewitched their cattle; and a woman, wild with grief because her child had died of a sudden sickness, meeting a little Frenchman, the Chevalier du Champsavoys, in the Rue des Tres Pigeons, thrust at his face with her knitting-needle, and then, Protestant though she was, made the sacred sign, as though to defeat the evil eye.
Under his guidance a bow-drill was made, and used much and on many things till it was understood, and now it did real Indian service by drilling the bowl and stem holes of the pipe. He made a stem of an Elderberry shoot, punching out the pith at home with a long knitting-needle.
"Mayn't I see what you've got?" said little Prudy. "Not till I get ready," said Nancy. "Who stuck that knitting-needle into my ear?" "You know she didn't mean to," said Susy. "I don't care," cried Nancy, "it hurt!" Prudy felt very sorry. "I wish I hadn't hurt you, Nanny," said she, "'cause I want to see what you've got in your apron." "Well, I guess you'll see it soon enough.
If you take an orange and stick a knitting-needle through it, and hold it so that the needle is not quite straight up but a little slanting, and then twirl it round, you will get quite a good idea of the earth, though of course there is no great pole like a gigantic needle stuck through it, that is only to make it easy for you to hold it by.
Darwin thus foretold the precise manner of the cross-fertilization of Habenaria mascula, and also the insect agent, simply by the structural prophecy of the flower itself. Suppose, for example, an unknown orchid blossom to be placed in our hands. Its nectary tube is five inches in length, and as slender as a knitting-needle. The nectar is secreted far within its lip.
We have got to the end," said Halicarnassus, roaming as to his eyes over into the wheat-field beyond. "We might turn," suggested the Anakim, looking bright, "How can you turn a horse in this knitting-needle of a lane?" I demanded.
