Here a double purpose might be served. Nothing more common in Bethnal Green than broken looms, and consequent disaster. There you had the ready-made job for the reinstated carpenter; and good could be done in a small way, at very little cost.
"Ye're richt there, sir only that no man's bun' to follow his inclinations or his circumstances, ony mair than he's bun' to alter his fut to the shape o' a ready-made beet! But hoo wull ye hae them made, sir? I mean what sort o' butes wad ye hae me mak?" "Oh, I leave that to you, Mr. MacLear! a sort of half Wellington, I suppose a neat pair of short boots." "I understand, sir."
He made us look at all the plumbing bath-rooms and everywhere else and then he made us look at the Bay of Naples. He said it was a hundred and eleven feet long, but I think it's more. And he led us all into the ready-made library to see a poem Edith had taken a prize with at school. They'd had it printed in gold letters and framed in mother-of-pearl.
"It's only Bart," cried Deborah, casting a fierce look in the direction of the slim, sharp-faced young man, "and if he was to talk I'd take his tongue out. That I would. I'm a-training him to be my husband, as I don't hold with the ready-made article, and married he shall be, by parsing and clark if he's a good boy and don't talk of what don't matter to him."
She never had a new one till the old one fell off her back, and then she usually got a second-hand one, as a shilling or two would buy only material if new, but would stretch to a ready-made if second-hand. 'Foxy'd like me to get a green velvet, said Hazel. She always expressed her intense desires, which were few, in this formula.
Thoreau says that when he was hoeing his beans it was not beans that he hoed nor he that hoed beans which was the only saying that came to mind at the moment, and under the circumstances did not seem to help me much. "Well," I replied, fumbling among my stock of ready-made reasons, "I really don't know exactly why you don't understand. Indeed, I really don't know that I exactly understand.
Nor is that surprising, seeing that the family lives in a single room, with only a screen to divide it for decency's sake. Already the coffin was standing in their midst a plain but decent shell which had been bought ready-made. The child, they told me, had been a boy of nine, and full of promise. What a pitiful spectacle! Though not weeping, the mother, poor woman, looked broken with grief.
I know your uncle I know that he will make his borrowed throne as wide as he possibly can; but when we return home he will be quite content to sit on a narrow seat again. Great enterprises and daring deeds are not what he excels in; but he is very apt at carrying out a ready-made system, and therefore I choose him to be my Regent."
Magnanimity is, in fact, not in Eleanor's line. The virtues, she once explained to me, are like bonnets: the very ones that look best on other people may not happen to suit one's own particular style; and she added, with a slight deflection of metaphor, that none of the ready-made virtues ever had fitted her: they all pinched somewhere, and she'd given up trying to wear them.
Novelists of standing are more nicely squeamish on the subject than dramatists of similar rank; they endeavour to avoid in dialogue the ready-made article; at the same time one notes that the important dramatist is very anxious to keep clear of the stage-worn phrases.
