"DEAREST JESSIE AND KATE, I sent your screen to the institution for the sale of needlework, where it was greatly admired. One gentleman said it was quite a work of genius! a lady, who seemed to estimate genius more highly than the gentleman, bought it for 10 pounds, which I now enclose. In my opinion it was worth far more.
In society such as well, such as you get in a cathedral town, you know, no man of reputation can afford to keep silence when his his character is affected." Mary picked up some needlework and began to be much occupied with it. "Is Dr. Ransford's character affected?" she asked. "I wasn't aware of it, Mrs. Folliot."
The neighbourhood abounded with pretty clerical and country homes, where my cousins were intimate; each one, so it seemed to Eleanor and me, prettier than the last: sunshiny and homelike, with irregular comfortable furniture, dainty with chintz, or dark with aged oak, each room more tastefully besprinkled than the rest with old china, new books, music, sketches, needlework, and flowers.
Roger shared some of Eleanor's lessons, and when she was at her spinning or needlework he was often by, with a bow to shape, a spear to polish or some other in-door work to do, while they listened to Lady Philippa's stories. To him nearly all of them were new. As the spring advanced the three spent much time in the garden.
This business has made me feel," Amherst added abruptly, "that I have never been quite fair to him. I never thought him a magnanimous man." "He has proved himself so," Justine murmured, her head bent low over a bit of needlework; and Amherst affirmed energetically: "He has been more than that generous!" She looked up at him with a smile.

Monsieur Will you pass me the poker, my dear? Monsieur That is by Mehul, is it not, my dear? Ah! that is music I saw Delaunay Riquier in Joseph.

The Needlework Guild, which met every Thursday at eleven o'clock, on this particular Thursday was meeting with Mrs. Tate. It was the last meeting before adjournment for the summer, and though Mrs. Pryor, the president, had personally requested a large attendance, the attendance was small. In consequence, Mrs. Pryor was displeased. "Mercy, but it's warm in here," said Mrs.
She pledged herself to an absoluteness of belief that her love and Billy's was unsullied, unperturbed severe as it had always been, as it would be when it came back again after the world settled down once more to rational ways. That night, when he came home, she proposed, as an emergency measure, that she should resume her needlework and help keep the pot boiling until the strike was over.
After giving Carew his drink she moved away and picked up some needlework, seating herself near the open door, with sympathy in her face and in her silence. "We had a splendid service," she told him. "We did all we possibly could to show our loyalty. But how little it seemed! The far countries hurt at a time like this."
