The third machine, the "fine speeder," simply makes a finer roving. All this work must be done merely to prepare the raw cotton to be twisted into the tiny threads that you see by raveling a piece of cotton cloth. Now comes the actual twisting.
M. Offenbach had opened Lempriere's Dictionary to the authors with "La Belle Helene," and there, was commonly a flimsy raveling of parodied myth, that held together the different dances and songs, though sometimes it was a novel or an opera burlesqued; but there was always a song and always a dance for each lady, song and dance being equally slangy, and depending for their effect mainly upon the natural or simulated personal charms of the performer.
"You'll hang you'll hang for it!" bawled Greer, mauling at the men behind. Caradoc crumpled down on the floor. The navvies, with an English dread of legal authority, hesitated, thinking perhaps Caradoc had deserted them purposely to clear his own skirts in the mutiny. Madden instantly caught up the loose ends of his raveling authority. "Lay him on the bunk, Galton!" he commanded.
It is a futile and exacting existence which fritters away your hours as it fritters away your mind, raveling out the stuff of time thread by thread with irreparable loss, and also the more precious stuff of mental and moral strength.

She picked a raveling from her sleeve, and stroked her fur, and inspected the tips of her gloves, and untied and retied the strings of her cap all with an inscrutable face.

Here was the best possible training for prospective women voters. To all this Mrs. Stanton heartily agreed. As they sat at the dining-room table with Mrs. Stanton's two daughters, Maggie and Hattie, all busily cutting linen into small squares and raveling them into lint for the wounded, they discussed the state of the nation.

I give you warning; if we reach the hotel, my brother and I will commence suit for damages." My temper's fairly long-suffering, but 'twas raveling some by this time. "Commence suit!" I says. "I don't care WHAT you commence, if you'll commence to keep quiet now!"
You see, this Don Miguel might have struck the blow and left the offices open and at the mercy of the others. Now you see how useless it is to draw hasty conclusions." "That's so.
