"Yet, this needle-book is a poor thing for an Indian to treasure and carry in a pouch around his neck for twenty years." The glow-worm spark in my tinder grew dull and went out. For a long while I lay there, thinking, awed by the ways of God so certain, so inscrutable.
A broken fan, a bundle of letters tied up with a black ribbon, and a little work-basket in which lay a fanciful needle-book with "Letty" embroidered on it in faded silk. "Poor David, that is his little shrine, and I have no right to see it," thought Christie, shutting the door with self-reproachful haste.

"This is the werry nattiest thing I have seen for many a day," murmured Grannie, "and only tuppence three farthings. I'll take the price off, of course.
The little girl was provided with a pretty work-basket, six spools of cotton, a pincushion, a needle-book, a bit of white wax, and an emery, which was a strawberry-shaped cushion topped off with some soft green stuff she knew afterward was chenille. This was to keep her needles bright and smooth. Then she had three rolls of ruffling, yards and yards in each piece.
