The careful mending of my linen, too for Mrs. Stimcoe with all her faults was a needlewoman helped to disarm suspicion. When we talked of my studies I sang the praises of Captain Branscome, and told of his past heroism and his sword of honour. "Branscome? Branscome, of the Londonderry?" said my father. "Ay, to be sure, I remember Branscome a Godfearing fellow and a good seaman.
"I am only a needlewoman for hand work," she reiterated. "I know only embroidery and mending and knitting and the beading of purses as they should have informed you "
The influence of Iris won the goodwill of the farmer and his wife; Rhoda, as an expert and willing needlewoman, being sure of a welcome, for her own sake, in a family which included a number of young children. Miss Henley had only to order her carriage, and to be within reach of the farm. A week seldom passed without a meeting between the mistress and the maid.
"His adopted sister, madame a poor needlewoman, who lives in the same house." Adrienne appeared to collect her thoughts, and said, smiling kindly, after a moment's silence: "It was you then, who persuaded M. Agricola to apply to me to procure him bail?" "Oh, madame, do you remember " "I never forget anything that is generous and noble. M. Agricola was much affected when he spoke of your devotion.
We have already seen what this sum can do for the shirt-maker and general needlewoman, and it is easy to judge how the girl fares for whom the weekly wage is less. The girls club together, huddling in small back rooms, and spending all that can be saved on dress.
Finally, to complete the list of her accomplishments, I must add that she was a remarkably neat and skilful needlewoman. We still possess some elaborate specimens of her embroidery and lace-work. Devoted and loving in all the relations of life, my mother was ever forgetful of self.
"Pray excuse me, sir," said the man, very politely, and speaking slowly, perhaps to prolong his stay in the room: "I beg a thousand pardons I regret my intrusion I am ashamed " "Well, you ought to be, sir," said Agricola, with impatience, "what do you want?" "Pray, sir, does not Miss Soliveau, a deformed needlewoman, live here?" "No, sir; upstairs," said Agricola.
Take pains; and the best needlewoman shall have a pretty bit of white satin for a doll's bonnet." Fanny exerted herself, and won the prize, for Polly helped Maud, and neglected her own work; but she did n't care much, for Mr. Shaw said, looking at the three bright faces at the tea-table, "I guess Polly has been making sunshine for you to-day."
Surprised at the long silence of Dagobert, the needlewoman followed his movements with timid and uneasy curiosity. But soon her surprise gave way to fright, when she saw the soldier take down his knapsack, place it upon a chair, open it, and draw from it a pair of pocket-pistols, the locks of which he tried with the utmost caution.
Without absolutely believing the perfidious insinuations of Rodin, who gave her to understand that, in the fear of being unmasked by him, the hunchback had not dared to remain in the house, Adrienne felt a cruel sinking of the heart, when she thought how this young girl, in whom she had had so much confidence, had fled from her almost sisterly hospitality, without even uttering a word of gratitude; for care had been taken not to show her the few lines written by the poor needlewoman to her benefactress, just before her departure.
