Tiffany halted under one tree to call pleasantries up to a Portuguese, friend of many a harvest before. Judge Tiffany proceeded on down the row, pausing to inspect the boxes for any fruit gathered before it was ripe. The first picker was a Chinese. His box, of course, showed only perfection of workmanship. The Judge called up familiarly: "Hello, Charlie!"
Perhaps because there is a secret underlying sympathy between that story and this day with its impure fog and thwarted sunshine, or perhaps simply for the reason that this house is the one where the Wolfes lived. There were the father and son, both hands, as I said, in one of Kirby & John's mills for making railroad-iron, and Deborah, their cousin, a picker in some of the cotton-mills.
If the plantation slaves had such a good friend as the Times, and if every over-worked female cotton picker could write as clever letters as this dressmaker's apprentice, and get them published in as influential papers, and excite as general a sensation by them as this seems to have done, I think I should feel that there was no need of my interfering in a work so much better done.
I'm licked again proper and," harshly, "I don't expect anybody to believe in me, but I won't stay licked if I can help it!" "I'm said to be a good 'picker, and I've always believed in you, Wallace Macpherson," Helene said, slowly. He stared his incredulity, then replied with ungracious irony: "You've concealed it well." "Flattery is bad for growing boys," she smiled mischievously.
The mystery and romance of interviews with her love, "undreamt-of by the world in its primness," appeared far more enchanting than any authorized attachment provided with a regulation gooseberry picker. So she came down with a slightly defiant air; but meeting with nothing worse than a gravely knowing glance from Miss Opie, sat down to the piano to escape questioning. Mrs.
The cotton, which is of extremely fine quality, comes into the picker building in great bales from our Southern sea-coast and from Egypt. It is fed into the first of a series of cleaners, from the last of which it issues in a long, flat sheet, to go through the processes of carding, combing, drawing, and making into roving.
Mother had ruled she must stay there, in disgrace, till father came home and a proper punishment was decided upon. It was not a short or glad afternoon. At supper father came up to see her. He was disapproving, of course, though she felt that his heart wasn't entirely unsympathetic. Even though he told her Mr. Picker had made him pay for the bucket of candy.
Picker he wouldn't have shoved the blame off onto a maiden in distress... No, and she didn't think the King of Spain would, either... Or Rev. MacGill... There were lots of things just as good as being athletic... there were... lots of things... A moonbeam crept up the white sheet, to kiss the eyelids closed in sleep. Ah, pensive scholar, what is fame? A fitful tongue of fickle flame.
For the first few days after my term at school as waiter for my young mistresses, I was ordered into the field to pick cotton, but was shortly placed over the hands as "boss" and cotton-weigher. Each picker had a "stint" or daily task to perform; that is, each of them was required to pick so many pounds of cotton, and when in default were unmercifully whipped.
A capital story was told by a Bishop of Worcester, in connection with the efforts of the Church in that part of the country to alleviate the lot of the hop-pickers, who flock into Worcestershire in September by the thousand. One of the mission workers, who had gone down to the hopyards, met a dilapidated individual in a country lane, who said he was "a picker."
