It must bon down, squire, eh?" "Yes, my man, nothing could save the place now." "Ay, moother, and my Sunday clothes," said the wheelwright with a bitter laugh. "And my best frock." "Ay, and my tools, and a bit o' mooney I'd saved, and all my stoof. Eh, but I'm about ruined, moother, and just when I was going to get on and do the bit o' work for the dreern folk."
The squire turned to stop Dick, but it was too late, for the lad had reached the wheelwright and laid his hand upon his shoulder. "Hicky," he said softly; "be a man!" "Ay, lad, I will," said the great fellow, starting up with his eyes wet with tears. "It isn't the bont plaace made me soft like that, but what's been said."
The machine was of very simple construction; any blacksmith or wheelwright, knowing the principle of the design, could make one. Even before Whitney could obtain his patent, cotton gins based on his were being manufactured and used. Whitney received his patent in March, 1794, and entered on his new work with enthusiasm.
Indeed a quarter of an hour later the two travellers knocked at the gate of hell. “Toc, toc!” “Who is there?” “The wheelwright of Coq,” said the great golfer. “Don’t open the door,” cried Belzébuth; “that rascal wins at every turn; he is capable of depopulating my empire.” Roger laughed in his sleeve. “Oh! you are not saved,” said Death. “I am going to take you where you won’t be cold either.”
"O ah yes:" another incident, thinks-I-to-myself, in the chequered life of my unhappy friend. "And a striking incident, too, according to the account of the Irish woman who lodged the complaint." "An Irish woman! Mischief in her proper shape again. But, my word for it, if it is my quondam friend Wheelwright, who is in the scrape, he has not struck any body or thing man, woman, or child."
He is a clever, ingenious boy, and would learn quickly. I think he would like best to be a wheelwright, and I would suggest that you apprentice him with the master in our village. So you see, mother, the money would not be spent in vain." "Very well, the money shall be his." On the following morning, Alfred sent for Michael, and counted out to him the money, increasing it to fifty pounds.
We had left Mery in flames; and in the little hammock of Chatres, where headquarters had been established, there could no shelter be found for his Majesty except in the shop of a wheelwright; and the Emperor passed the night there, working, or lying on the bed all dressed, without sleeping. It was there also he received the Austrian envoy, the Prince of Lichtenstein.
His wife, a very capable lady, took the matter in hand. She went to the local carpenter and wheelwright and bought up the whole of his stock of that particular paint with which farm carts and wagons are painted, coarse but serviceable, and of the brightest possible red, blue, green, and yellow hues.
You should have come in a little sooner, Arthur, to hear Joshua's denunciation of his neighbour Will Maskery. The old fellow wants me to excommunicate the wheelwright, and then deliver him over to the civil arm that is to say, to your grandfather to be turned out of house and yard.
He lived in a hut in the eastern part of the township, not far from the lake, and near the corner of the road coming down from the Bald Hill. Here had been laid the foundation of a great inland city by a bush publican, two storekeepers, a wheelwright, and a blacksmith. Another city had been started at the western side of Wandong Creek, but its existence was ignored by the eastern pioneers.
