The drunken ne'er do weel had given Bessie much to put up with. Oh, yes! she was to be plagued out of her life by Isaac's belongings, and he wouldn't do a pin's worth for her. Just let him see next time, that was all. Isaac smoked vigorously through it all. But she was hammering on a sore point. 'Oh, it's just like yer! Bessie flung at him at last in desperation.
Not like some young ladies, or old even, that would have showed one up, rather than help one out in any pin's point of a difficulty." Lady Cecilia herself was included in Lady Bearcroft's good graces, for she liked that winning way, and saw there was a real good-nature there, too. She opened to both friends cordially, a propos to some love of a lace trimming.
Some ingenious philosopher could write a full tractate on woman in her relation to pins hairpins, clothes pins, rolling pins, hatpins. Only a bachelor, as we have implied, scoffs at pins. Hamlet remarked, after seeing the ghost, and not having any Sir Oliver Lodge handy to reassure him, that he did not value his life at a pin's fee.
According to my idee you have no more right to take them, than you have to take my clocks without payin for 'em. A man that would be guilty of such an action is no gentleman, that's flat, and if you don't like it, you may lump it for I don't valy him nor you, neither, nor are a Blue Nose that ever stept in shoe leather the matter of a pin's head.
The big business men rebuilding fortunes shattered by the boom, the little business men laying foundations for fortunes to be, the women within the charmed circle of Society bound to the whirling wheel of social functions, other women outside and striving to beg, or buy, or break their way into the circle, and still other women who cared not a pin's head whether they were within or without, being sufficient for themselves, the busy people of the churches with their philanthropies, their religious activities, striving to gather into their several folds the waifs and strays that came stumbling into their city from all lands all alike, unaware of the growing danger area in their young city, forgot the foreign colony, its problems and its needs.
All the rocky places, as well as the lower ridge of the northern mountainous chain, are covered by a layer of volcanic rock: it is of a bluish black colour, very porous, yet heavy, and, hard, not glazed, like schlacken, and contains frequently small white substances in its pores of the size of a pin's head, which I never found crystallised.
It was, for him, one of those sudden halts in life which we all experience, an instant, when time and the world seem to stand still, as though to permit us easy breathing; a brief space, in which we are allowed to stop and wonder awhile at the strange unaccountable force within us, that enables us to stand with such calm, smiling audacity, on our small pin's point of the present, between the wide dark gaps of past and future; a small hush, in which the gigantic engines of the universe appear to revolve no more, and the immortal Soul of man itself is subjected and over-ruled by supreme and eternal Thought.
Another parasite found in the muscles of the pig is known as the Cysticercus cellulosus, and the animals afflicted by it are said to have the measles. This larva of the tapeworm exists in the pig in little sacs not larger than a pin's head, and can be seen by the naked eye. The strong brine of the packer does not kill them, and I have known them to be taken alive from a boiled ham.
But he never made the smallest acknowledgment to Gibbie for the saving of the said Snowball: what could an idiot understand about gratitude? and what use was money to a boy who did not set his life at a pin's fee? But he always spoke kindly to him thereafter, which was more to Gibbie than anything he could have given him; and when a man is content, his friends may hold their peace.
"Then know that your life's not worth a pin's fee if you remain here to be taken. Oh, that Garth that devil's garth that that Joe Garth!" There was clearly no epithet that suited better with Monsey's mood than the said monster's proper name. "Friends," said Ralph, more seriously, "it's clear I can't leave before I see my father buried, and it's just as clear I can't see him buried if I stay.
