She carefully examines every thread, watching it closely as she draws it off the distaff; and that she may see it the more distinctly, a piece of dark blue paper is used as a background for the flax. Whenever the spinner notices the least unevenness, she stops the evolution of her wheel, breaks off the faulty piece of flax, and then resumes her spinning.
You don't suppose that I'm going to sit here in your society me with my high connections after what you've said?" "Why not?" asked the colonel; "after all, business is business, and as I'm making an offer to you for the Riverborne Mill " "The Riverborne Mill?" roared the spinner. "Ah! that's a joke of yours! You'll buy no Riverborne Mill of me, sitha!"
Every young woman who has got the reputation of being a quick and expert spinner attends where the kemp is to be held, at an hour usually before daylight, and on these occasions she is accompanied by her sweetheart or some male relative, who carries her wheel, and conducts her safely across the fields or along the road, as the case may be.
"It is true," said Evelina, with solemn joy. "In all my heart there is nothing but forgiveness. The anger and resentment are gone all gone." "Spinner in the Sun!" breathed the Piper, scarcely conscious that he spoke the words aloud. "My Spinner in the Sun!" Slowly the moon climbed toward the zenith, and still, because there was no need, they spoke no word.
At present force of habit drew the old man to spend half his time here; and now, when Best had returned to the Gill Spinner, Levi prowled off to his old theatre of work, entered the hackling shop and criticised the new hackler.

Then the big Black Spider moved his legs faster than a cat can wink her eyes, and in a few seconds the fresh cobwebs were spun. "That is very nice," said the little old woman. "Here's a fat Bluebottle for you."
Mark me, Pat Coxe, now with all them fat bullocks at her back, and with all them fresh roses in her cheeks and I don't say but she's a likely girl, if she wa'n't a McBride; but with all that, and if she was the best spinner in the three counties and I don't say but she's good, if she wa'n't a McBride; but was she the best of the best, and the fairest of the fairest, and had she to boot the two stockings full of gould, Honor McBride shall never be brought home, a daughter-in-law to me!
When she reached the level place where he was standing, his face illumined with unspeakable joy. He dropped his flute and opened his arms. "My Spinner in the Sun," he whispered, "I called you, and you came." "Yes," she answered, from his close embrace, "you called me, and I have come for always." At last, he released her and they stood facing each other.
For in a pew among those reserved for the professors and officials of the city, I saw one in which there was certainly seated John Hatton and his wife. There were some young men with them, who had a remarkable resemblance to the couple, and I immediately began to speculate on the probabilities which could have brought a Yorkshire spinner to the ecclesiastical capital of Scotland.
"He produced in the course of a few months a machine apparently instinct with the thought, feeling, and tact of the experienced workman which even in its infancy displayed a new principle of regulation, ready in its mature state to fulfil the functions of a finished spinner.
