His division was according to their trades, and consisted of the musicians, the goldsmiths, the builders, the dyers, the shoemakers, the carriers, the coppersmiths, and the potters. All the other trades he united into one guild.
Still better offers were made to iron workers of all kinds, to shoemakers, tanners, weavers, tailors, hatters, engineers, machinists, millers, railroad men, and similar tradesmen. Any of these could have made a handsome thing by accepting the offers made them almost weekly.
I kin 'member when dis town was full er black an' yaller carpenters an' 'j'iners, blacksmiths, wagon makers, shoemakers, tinners, saddlers an' cab'net makers.
If there was another peach half as good as that other, I'd eat it in spite of a dozen enchantments or a hundred shoemakers!" Just then Scraps came dancing along and saw him sitting at the foot of the tree. "Oh, here you are!" she said. "Up to your old tricks, eh? Don't you know it's impolite to get lost and keep everybody waiting for you?
This then was the mental state of the most intelligent part of this Russian nobility, which showed itself a pioneer of the ideas of progress in literature and life. There were even singular political manifestations produced. Rostopchin said: "In France the shoemakers want to become noble; while here, the nobles would like to turn shoemakers."
'What craft wilt thou follow? asked Kieva as they went along. 'I shall make shoes as once I did, replied he; and he got all the finest leather in the town and caused gilded clasps to be made for the shoes, till everyone flocked to buy, and all the shoemakers in the town were idle and banded together in anger to kill him.
And if one remains a journeyman all his life long, he has more interest in modifying his position. Do you understand? That's why the organization of the shoemakers has never been of more than middling dimensions. Another reason is that they work in their own rooms, and one can't get them together. But now there's a new man come, who seems to be making things move."
"But I thought Uncle Jason was a carpenter, too?" murmured Janice, hesitatingly. "Well! didn't ye know that carpenters' roofs are always leakin' an' that shoemakers' wives go barefoot?" chuckled Marty. "Dad says he'll git 'round to these chores sometime. Huh!"
He did not grudge people any pleasure they could derive from the facts of relationship. Poor people regarded him gratefully they said he had kind eyes; it was a shame that he should not be allowed to live. Jeppe was the oldest employer in the town, and among the shoemakers his workshop was the biggest.
Andreas did not speak, but he put his thin hand into the big brown hand much stained with the dark wax which shoemakers use and with long handling of leather that Ludwig held out to him; and when they had stood together thus affectionately for a little time they parted, silently. In truth, Andreas was more deeply moved than even Ludwig, for all his affectionate sympathy, had divined.
