You will find that the thunderbolt which you thought was your ruin has been your salvation that it has broken the chain which bound you to your wheelbarrow, and that you are free! I think you will now see what I mean by Rest. Rest is the loosing of the chains which bind us to the whirligig of the world, it is the passing into the centre of the Cyclone; it is the Stilling of Thought.
So that Fergus was compelled to stomach this supposed affront until the whirligig of time, whose motion he promised himself he would watch most sedulously, should bring about an opportunity of revenge. Waverley's servant always led a saddle-horse for him in the rear of the battalion to which he was attached, though his master seldom rode.
"Well that ain't the wisest thing I should like to hear of her doing." "Oh but it's because uncle Rossitur likes to stay there, I suppose, isn't it, grandpa?" "I don't know, dear. Maybe your aunt's caught the French fever. She used to be a good sensible woman; but when people will go into a whirligig, I think some of their wits get blown away before they come out. Well what else?"
"From Roum have I come," shouted the priest, waving his whirligig; "from Roum, blown by the breath of a hundred devils across the sea!

Well, they all met at last, foul Days, fine Days, all sorts of Days, and a rare din they made of it.
He put a marked emphasis on the last sentence, to lead Massy away from the track in case . . . but he did not doubt of now holding his success. The chief engineer seemed nonplused, like a slow man invited to catch hold of a whirligig of some sort.
