In fact, this hunchback courted the dyer's wife, who from her nature, caring little for badly built people, laughed to scorn the request of the mechanician, and joked him about the springs, engines, and spools of which his shop was full.
Next Jean gave to his sister the presents he had brought her beautiful cloth for a dress, ribbons and a bit of lace, handkerchiefs and buttons and yards of linen, a sewing case and a whole box of spools of thread, a comb and brush and mirror, and lastly a Spanish brooch inlaid with garnets.
Edwards had taken every opportunity to get back at Tom, and now he had his best chance. From the beginning, the trial was argued bitterly. Though the issues were clear-cut illegal possession of the study spools, out on the quadrangle after hours, and fighting Edwards tried to accuse the Polaris unit of irrelevant infractions. But Alfie Higgins was his equal.
The carpet was not rich; the engravings on the walls were in wooden frames varnished; the long mirror between the windows, for that was there, reflected a very simple mahogany table, on which lay a large work basket, some rolls of muslin and flannel, work cut and uncut, shears and spools of cotton. Another smaller table held books and papers and writing materials.
A truck had arrived while they were talking, and the men were unloading some great rolls of paper, enormous spools. "What would dad say if he saw what his trees had come to?" Joe thought, as he stood for a moment looking them over, his mind going back to his father's letter. One roll of wood pulp had already been jacked up and was now feeding the mighty press.
He did not speak to my mother, because he did not know the Indian language, but his glittering yellow eyes were fastened upon me.

Then I ran round and round the stove, crying aloud for help.
"Some one has been playing here before us." Marian stooped down to look where, in a little cave made by the large stone, was a small doll, a table made of a block of wood, some bits of blue china for dishes, a row of acorns for cups, and a bed of green moss. Outside stood a small cart made of a box with spools for wheels. "Isn't it cunning?" said Patty, appealed to by the unusual.
"I'm finely fitted out, then, with the robe here and the veil there! bridal or burial, toss up a copper and which shall it be?" said Effie, looking upward, and playing with her spools like a juggler's oranges. And here Margray came back. She sat in silence a minute or two, turning her work this way and that, and then burst forth,
He now had charge of a number of girls whom he treated rudely, shouting and swearing at them. The working of these machines needed as much attention of the eye as deftness of hand in lifting up the full spools and replacing them with empty ones, and fastening the broken thread.
"I am not anxious to accelerate the approach of the period when the great mass of American labor shall not find its employment in the field; when the young men of the country shall be obliged to shut their eyes upon external nature, upon the heavens and the earth, and immerse themselves in close and unwholesome workshops; when they shall be obliged to shut their ears to the bleatings of their own flocks upon their own hills, and to the voice of the lark that cheers them at the plough, that they may open them in dust and smoke and steam to the perpetual whirl of spools and spindles, and the grating of rasps and saws.
