"Another thing, Abe," Morris went on, "Klinger & Klein sends their work out by contractors. We got it operators and machines, Abe, and you can't have a show-room, cutting-room and machines all in one loft. Ain't it?" "Well, then we get it two lofts, Mawruss, and then we could put our workrooms upstairs and our show-room and offices downstairs." "And double our expenses, too, Abe," Morris added.
These youths too are worked for sixteen and even twenty hours a day; they are often sold by one master to another; they are fed on carrion, and they sleep in lofts or cellars: yet whether it be that they are hardened by brutality, and really unconscious of their degradation and unusual sufferings, or whether they are supported by the belief that their day to be masters and oppressors will surely arrive, the aristocracy of Wodgate is by no means so unpopular as the aristocracy of most other places.
I say us, for more than once I knew that Shock felt it, by his whispering to me in an awe-stricken tone: "I never know'd as being in the dark was like this before. It's darker like, much darker, you know than being in one of the lofts under the straw." It is all confused at times as I try to recall it.
I have now been here four months to a day, and have seen the corn since it was light-green shoots until now, when it is well secured in the barns, where there was room. For the crop has been so heavy not in the memory of man has there been such a year on this coast that rich stacks of corn are standing on many farms, and the lofts are crammed to the roof-trees.
This deck was divided fore and aft by a partitioned passage, the lofts or apartments being lighted from the ports, and one or two by a door cut through the ship's side communicating with an alley on either side. This was the case with the loft occupied by Mr. Nott's strange lodger, which, besides a door in the passage, had this independent communication with the alley.
Caillard was so delighted that he could scarcely eat or drink, and a week later he set out. He went from town to town, studying catalogues, rummaging in lofts full of dusty volumes, and was hated by all the librarians.
Oh, the nobility and the military, which are one and the same thing, would be present at the ball; they were altogether too inquisitive to decline. Daily the inspector of seals made his solemn round, poking into the forbidden chambers, into the lofts, into the cellars.
He had transferred his household goods and his only daughter to her cabin, and had divided the space "between decks" and her hold into lodging-rooms, and lofts for the storage of goods. It could hardly be said that the investment had been profitable.
The very first day of his arrival he ordered a service with holy water, and sprinkled everything with water, all the rooms in the house, even the lofts and the cellars, in order, as he put it, 'radically to expel the Voltairean and Jacobin spirit. In the first week several of Ivan Matveitch's favourites were sent to the right-about, one was even banished to a settlement, corporal punishment was inflicted on others; the old valet he was a Turk, knew French, and had been given to Ivan Matveitch by the late field-marshal Kamensky received his freedom, indeed, but with it a command to be gone within twenty-four hours, 'as an example to others. Semyon Matveitch turned out to be a harsh master; many probably regretted the late owner.
Putchett, the sanded barroom and his own rather dismal chamber coming to his mind. "You ought to board where we do," said Alice, enthusiastically. "We have heaps of fun. Have you got a barn?" Mr. Putchett confessed that he did not know. "Oh, we've got a splendid one!" exclaimed the child. "There's stalls, and a granary, and a carriage-house and two lofts in it.
