"You look out: the toiler's day is a-comin', and it ain't so fur off, neither!" But the capitalist was already out of hearing, gone to find a man to take this orator's place. By the end of the week, Adams felt that he had moved satisfactorily forward in his preparations for the simple equipment he needed; but he hated the pause of Sunday.
"Do thou thy work: it shall succeed In thine or in another's day; And if denied the victor's meed, Thou shalt not miss the toiler's pay." Youth's Companion. When Some One's Late Some one is late, And so I wait A minute, two, or ten; To me the cost Is good time lost That never comes again.

In these days it is safe to say that the very poorest toiler's child has more of schooling than I had, and, doubtless, a superior sort of schooling.
"The toiler's labour and his bloody sweat all that eloquence you can put off till another time; but now, since you have begun, let me go on. Let me ask you bluntly, what is there for me to do here, and what am I to do?" "What are you to do?" I said, shrugging my shoulders. "That's a question that can't be answered straight off."
"Has it never occurred to you while you were playing there that the glitter of gold, all these women, young and old, the croupiers, all the surroundings that it is all a vile, loathsome mockery at the toiler's labour, at his bloody sweat? "If one doesn't play, what is one to do here?" she asked.
