"He's a very clever young man and learning fast now. He's buckling to and getting on with it. But Sabina Dinnett, our first spinner, gave notice on Saturday. She's not here to-day." "What does that mean?" "You'd better ask them that know. I've heard a lot of rumours, and they may be true or not, and I hope they're not.
Perhaps she might have made a superhuman effort had there been reasonable hope of anything to gain. But Madame d'Ambre had learned to read faces: and Mary's had told her that for a time there was nothing more to expect. She would be comfortably lazy while her money held out. Mary's seat was near the spinner, one of the croupiers who had seen her sensational wins twelve hours ago.
A mule spinner told me that he does not earn more than fourteen shillings a week, and his statement agrees with that of Leach, that in various factories the coarse spinners earn less than sixteen shillings and sixpence a week, and that a spinner, who years ago earned thirty shillings, can now hardly scrape up twelve and a half, and had not earned more on an average in the past year.
Clotho attended the Spread Board; the can-minders coiling away the sliver, stood for Lachesis; while in the spinners, who cut the thread when the bobbin was full, Estelle found Atropos, the goddess of the shears. Mr. Best, grown grizzled, but active still and with no immediate thoughts of retirement, observed the operations of the new spinner at the Twist Frame.
Pound told me to beware, or Stacy Shunk to look out, or Miss Spinner to remember Absalom, I should heed their admonitions, yet those unpleasant passes became in retrospect delightful adventures, and I congratulated myself that I was coming through them with so much credit. That I was conducting myself with credit, I had no doubt.
"They'll be sure to do what their father wished, and there was a murmur of changes before he died," said Sally Groves; but Levi shook his head. "Daniel Ironsyde is built like his father, to let well alone. Raymond Ironsyde don't count. He'll only want his money." "Have you ever seen Mr. Raymond?" asked a girl. She was Nancy Buckler, a spinner hard-featured, sharp-voiced, and wiry.
For an hour Chook won steadily, and then at every throw the heap of coins in front of him lessened. A trot or succession of seven tails followed, and the kip changed hands rapidly, for the spinner drops the kip when he throws tails. Chook stopped betting during the trot, obeying an instinct.
The deed of the donation was signed and duly witnessed by the bishop's servant and one of the count's leudes. It provided that Neroweg, count of the King of Auvergne and the city of Clermont, donated to the Church, represented by Cautin, and in remission of his sins, a hundred acres of meadow land, twenty gold sous, and a spinner female slave, fifteen years old, named Odille.
These looms and spindles any clever spinner can direct right, but it takes a soul to save a soul. You know that." "I will be in London tonight, Mr. Lugur. You are a friend worth having. I thank you." "Good-bye! I leave for Cardiff at once. I leave Harry with God and you and I would not be hard with Harry." "I shall not. I love Harry." "You cannot help loving him.
The leader may keep up the interest of the game by comments on the toilettes. This is most interesting in story form. A variation of this game introduces the word ball. Whenever this is spoken of, the players must jump up and change places, the spinner trying to secure a seat in the general confusion. The odd player becomes a spinner. The players all but two form a circle and clasp hands.
