"I blush to acknowledge, Mr Hilton, that she deserved it all," replied Newton; "but I am very much alarmed about the condition of Mr Spinney. Have you heard this morning?" "No; but between ourselves, Newton, doctors always make the worst of their cases. I never heard of a pewter-pot killing a man; he'll do well enough, never fear.
It was a measure to grant State subsidy, through exemption of taxation, to assist a railroad to extend its lines into the timber-land country. Harlan checked him promptly. "I don't propose to discuss that question or any other with you, Mr. Spinney." "If that road is built it will double the value of half your lands," insisted the lobbyist.
Hazel felt that she would like to go on picking currants for ever, growing more and more like Mrs. There seemed no place in her life for Reddin, no time for Hunter's Spinney. She thought, 'I wunna go.
Agnes Gay Spinney, a literary person, a lecturer on history and literature. It transpired later that she and Edna had become acquainted and intimate at Westford the previous spring during a few weeks which Mrs. Spinney had spent there in the preparation of three new lectures for the coming season.

As to keeping Trevor at Eton that was becoming impossible.
And yet day by day, word by word, hint by hint his eye on the future loyalty of the Everett faction at the polls he made the candidate understand that Arba Spinney was a man to be reckoned with that the convention was not an open-and-shut certainty for the machine. Without realizing how it had come about, Everett found himself discussing "political exigencies."

Spinney's name was presented by an up-country spellbinder who had copied logic, diction, and demagogic arguments from his chief. But all the thrill, swing, and excitement of the Spinney movement were gone.
