Then they put on more fire and again burned the log. "The fire will burn down faster, now that the charcoal is scraped off," said Periwinkle. The men worked for a long time, burning and scraping away, burning and scraping, until they had dug a little hollow all along the middle of the log. Then one man said, "We have worked enough." And the men dropped their scrapers and went off.
Pelle has never asked himself this question before; and the scrap of looking-glass which he begged from the glazier from whom he fetches the glass scrapers tells him nothing truly. He has at bottom a feeling that he is an impossible person.
The only mode of utilising cathedrals which seems to have been thoroughly to the taste of the last century was the converting them into music-halls for oratorios. Early in the century we find Dean Swift at Dublin consenting not, however, without much demur to 'lend his cathedral to players and scrapers, to act what he called their opera. Next, in St.
'Quite right of you, then, to speak, said Mr. Torkingham. 'Don't mind explaining; we are here for practice. Now clear your throats, then, and at it again. There was a noise as of atmospheric hoes and scrapers, and the bass contingent at last got under way with a time of its own: 'Honwerd, Christen sojers!

Prunieres there collected forty stone hatchets, differing in no material respect from others found in such numbers elsewhere, with flint knives and scrapers, bone stilettos, and millstones, doubtless used for grinding grain, all of which are to the learned French professor proofs of the existence there of a Neolithic station before the historic period.
Those three mutton-chops which you see entering at the kitchen-door will be served on the family-plate at seven o'clock this evening, the huge footman being present, and the butler in black, and the crest and coat-of-arms of the Scrapers blazing everywhere. I pity Miss Emily Scraper she is still young young and hungry. Is it a fact that she spends her pocket-money in buns?

Though covered with the soil for centuries, they seem as though freshly brought from an Aino hut in Yesso.
It was before the day of the steam shovel or air drill. Pick and shovel and wheelbarrow reinforced by teams and scrapers were the means used, excepting where rock was encountered and then hand drills and black powder and occasionally nitro-glycerine were relied upon to quarry the rock which was very much in demand for masonry work.
