When he recovered his senses, he found himself in the hands of the lady he had first seen in the place, who bidding him keep firm hold of her, drew him into the river Lethe, and so through and across it to the other side, speeding as she went like a weaver's shuttle, and immersing him when she arrived, the angels all the while singing, "Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow."
On they hurry, and in their haste, they find an open door and enter; there is shelter and rest for them, but when daylight comes they open their eyes, and lo, the lovely castle is gone, and the home is a weaver's cottage!
Stumpy gave a short, contemptuous laugh. "You must think me as green as grass," he sneered. "I'm not giving up any evidence. I'm holding on to all I've got and gathering more." "You have Nicholas Weaver's statement," went on Mr. Woodward, with interest. "So I have. Nick told the truth in it, too." "I would like to see it" "Of course you would.
But I stopped that car dead still and gathered her into my arms, and Oh, well, I won't trail off into sentiment, you couldn't appreciate it if I did. It's a mercy Weaver's car was done for, or they could have walked right up and got their hands on us before we'd have known it. The Final Reckoning.
The barber's widow, whom she had seen a few days before in the pillory, with a stone around her neck, because she had allowed a cloth weaver's heedless daughter to come to her lodging with a handsome trumpeter who belonged to the city musicians, rose before her mental vision. How the poor thing had trembled and moaned after the executioner's assistant hung the heavy stone around her neck!
Will you do it?" "If you will accept a novice, I shall be gr-rateful." And again Friedrich made his low bow. "Then be at my house at five this afternoon, and here's a week's salary in advance. You'll be wanting it, perhaps." So was Baron von Rittenheim established as Tommy Weaver's tutor, and fortunate he thought himself.
He might be right, but now at least she wanted no more of it. She even felt as if she would rather cherish a sweet deception for the comfort of the moment in which the weaver's shuttle flew, than take to her bosom a cold killing fact. Such were indeed an unworthy feeling to follow! Of all things let us have the truth even of fact!
Throughout this beautiful and wonderful creation there is never-ceasing motion, without rest by night or day, ever weaving to and fro. Swifter than a weaver's shuttle it flies from Birth to Death, from Death to Birth; from the beginning seeks the end, and finds it not, for the seeming end is only a dim beginning of a new out-going and endeavour after the end.
It was equipped with a black warp, upon which a few rows of parti-coloured woof had been woven. "Diversions!" she repeated, and shook her round fist at the lumbering object. Then she sat down on the old weaver's bench and began to weave with heavy, jarring thuds which shook the floor, as with strong arms she pulled and pushed and sent her clumsy shuttle flying back and forth.
Of course when the army saw their Commander-in-Chief bolt like a mouse, they followed his example, and never stopped until they reached the city, where they spread the news that the little hero had fled up a tree. 'There let him stay! said the King, secretly relieved, for he was jealous of the little weaver's prowess, and did not want him for a son-in-law.
