He swayed to and fro, even as he did when his hand left the lever and he let the master-carpenter go free. It was indeed a philosopher under torture, a spirit rocking on its anchor. Just now she had put into words herself what, even in his fear, he had hoped had no place in her mind marriage with the man. He did not know this daughter of his very well.
"Bien sur, it was enough to set you thinking, monsieur," was the dry comment of M. Fille, who was now recovering his composure. At that moment there came a knock at the door, and another followed quickly; then there entered without waiting for a reply Carmen Barbille. The Clerk of the Court came to his feet with a startled "Merci!" and the master-carpenter fell back with a smothered exclamation.
This flume for Jean Jacques' mill was also fifteen feet deep or more. It was out of repair, and Jean Jacques called in a master-carpenter from Laplatte, Masson by name George Masson to put the flume right." "How long ago was that?" "A month ago. But Masson was not here all the time. It was his workmen who did the repairs, but he came over to see to superintend. At first he came twice in the week.
The Clerk of the Court was on his feet in a second. "Monsieur, you dare!" he exclaimed. "You dare to multiply your crimes in that shameless way. Begone! There are those who can make you respect decency. I am not without my friends, and we all stand by each other in our love of home of sacred home, monsieur."

You may apply to a building-company; but, as a general rule, you will do better by applying to a master-carpenter, who combines in himself the functions of architect, contractor, and builder.
I don't only need to save money, I need to make it; so if you can help me in that way I'm your man, M'sieu' la Fillette?" The little man bristled at the misuse of his name, and he flushed slightly also; but there was always something engaging in the pleasure- loving master-carpenter.
I noted, too as captives in dungeons find sometimes dreary leisure to note the merest trifles that this man wore shoes, and not sabots: I concluded that it must be the master-carpenter, coming to inspect before he sent his journeymen. I threw round me my scarf.
Is he in service? Is he in a trade?" "His father is a master-carpenter he works in his father's yard." "If he has got work, why has he not married you?" "It is his father's fault, ma'am not his.
