In short, he was a nephew whose peer could not be found in all Sweden, and who knows whether the piece of linen he chose from the bleachery was the last he received from his indulgent aunt.
If the reader cares to push forward the line of thought suggested in the preceding pages and to submit it to a concrete test he can do so without difficulty. He has but to compare the post-Union history of linen with that of cotton. Linen in Ireland had been a perfect type of the State-created, spoon-fed industry characteristic of the period of mercantilism.
God knows I don't say that Sidonie's conduct But, for my part, I know nothing about it. I never wanted to know anything. Only I must remind you of your dignity. People wash their dirty linen in private, deuce take it! They don't make spectacles of themselves as you've been doing ever since morning. Just see everybody at the workshop windows; and on the porch, too!
Eleanor leaned breathless over the table while her mother drew the outlines of the picture upon the linen the witch-woman in her forest home, the straight, sturdy figure of small George standing before her.

She wore a blue calico skirt with a white figure, and a belt of imitation alligator skin clasped around her small, firmly-corseted waist; her shirt waist was of pink linen, so new and crisp that it crackled with every movement, while around the collar, tied in a neat knot, was one of McTeague's lawn ties which she had appropriated.
The square of material that is seen to be inserted in the centre of the stretched linen is to show how a very small piece or a portion of a large surface could be stretched in the same sized frame. A corner may require marking or a small detail of embroidery carrying out upon it.
And so she laid her head back to rest. She drew her breath, she slept, but it became more and more still; and her face was so full of peace and happiness it was as if the sun's rays passed over it. She smiled, and then they said that she was dead. She was laid in the black coffin; she lay swathed in the white linen: she was so pretty, and yet the eyes were closed but all the wrinkles were gone.
