He began his attack adroitly by complimenting my new house and by regretting that I was shingling the roof. "But so long as you 're insured," said he, carelessly, "I don't know that it makes any difference whether you use shingles or slate."
To hear that a man who knew Mantegazza and Darwin and Whitman and Browning could even think of shingling, was highly humorous, but as he studied my forlorn face he sensed the despairing quiver in my voice and his kind heart softened. He ceased to smile. "Oh, you mustn't do that," he said earnestly. "You mustn't surrender now. We'll fix up some way for you to earn your keep.
After the cold season had passed, some of the people were set about shingling the church, and others were ordered to make clapboards that we might have a cargo when Captain Newport returned.
The process of puddling was invented by Henry Cort, an Englishman, and patented by him in 1783 and 1784 as a new process for "shingling, welding and manufacturing iron and steel into bars, plates and rods of purer quality and in larger quantity than heretofore, by a more effectual application of fire and machinery."
'That is the roof Tom told you I was shingling, Harold replied; and taking her by the arm, he hurried her into the cottage where Mrs. Crawford stood at the door, in her broad white apron and the neat muslin cap which Maude has fashioned for her. With a cry of joy, Jerrie took the old lady in her arms, and kissed and cried over her.
Tom Tracy said you were shingling a roof, and Billy Peterkin said Maude was helping you. 'Oh, that's it, is it? Harold said, bursting into a laugh.

"Well, I suppose this is the result of impatience; there were spikes I didn't put in because I couldn't wait for them and some tenons were badly cut. It blew hard last night and there must have been a big weight of snow on the new shingling." "I don't think you're right," Kermode said dryly, and turned to a bridge-carpenter who stood near-by.
