You may have observed the geometrical exactitude of the broad and thin coloured lines round the edges of a common cup and saucer, and speculated upon the means by which it was arrived at. A girl drew those lines, a girl with a hand as sure as Giotto's, and no better tools than a couple of brushes and a small revolving table called a whirler.
New Idea!" said the editor of the Whirler. "Here, do me five columns of amiable satire upon the King's Idea; keep up the tone of loyalty tolerant loyalty of course; and try to keep hold of those readers the Immovable is fishing for, of course." "Very good," said Brown. "Shall I tell you the Idea?" asked the reporter. "Ah! yes; if you want to," replied editor.
The fuel consists of charcoal, wood and coke, to get which fully lit it is usual to swing the receptacle round and round so as to create a draught and start the contents thoroughly on the go. There is a great danger attending this, for if the Germans catch a glimpse of the brazier being whirled in the air they immediately locate the whirler and begin firing in his direction.
Forty-eight hours a week Mary Beechinor sat before her whirler. Actuating the treadle, she placed a piece of ware on the flying disc, and with a single unerring flip of the finger pushed it precisely to the centre; then she held the full brush firmly against the ware, and in three seconds the band encircled it truly; another brush taken up, and the line below the band also stood complete.
"By the way, I didn't tell you the Idea," suggested the footman. "Oh! that doesn't matter; but there, you can, if you like," said the editor. After that the footman sold the news of the Idea to an ordinary reporter, who dealt with the Rushahead and the revolutionary papers; and the reporter rushed into the office of the Whirler, the leading Rushahead paper. "King!
Mademoiselle, you are a regular whirler." "What a ridiculous man!" We were walking, I, my aunt, and the General, who made me laugh by calling my attention to the different ways in which people looked at me, the men at my face, the women at my gown. From this time I will no longer trouble myself about any one. I will become Galatea, let people love me, if they like! I wonder why I am unhappy. No!
Of the father Johnson said: 'Newbery is an extraordinary man, for I know not whether he has read or written most books. He is the original of 'Jack Whirler' in The Idler, No. 19. Hume says that his first work, his Treatise of Human Nature, 'fell dead-born from the press. Auto. p.3. His Enquiry concerning Human Understanding 'was entirely overlooked and neglected. Ib. p.4.
