These can be traced as long, wavy lines in vertical sections of the log, especially if the surface is smooth. If the pupils can whittle off different planes for themselves, they will form a good idea of the formation of the wood. In many of the specimens there will be knots, and the nature of these will be an interesting subject for questions.
"I saw her at the fair tonight." "The fair at my house?" "Don't know of any other fair." "Well, what do you think of her?" "Don't think of her." Jim tried to pass, but the old man danced before him with his swinging lantern. "I must be going along," said Jim. "Wait a minute. Do you know she bought the whole fair?" "Yes, I do. You are blinding me with that lantern, Deacon Whittle."
"We have the hatchets, and can whittle it away; and perhaps we can make some chisels, from the ramrods of your guards' guns. A lot can be done, with patience and plenty of hands." Stanley then went down below, and explained to the others the plan proposed.
After an hour's walking about they went back to the place where they had left the boat and Jed set about making the chowder. Barbara watched him build the fire and open the clams, but then, growing tired of sitting still, she was seized with an idea. "Uncle Jed," she asked, "can't you whittle me a shingle boat?

Come on, everybody! Get busy!" Nobody had attended the door for the last hour, Joe Whittle being a spellbound witness of the proceedings; and so it chanced that nobody saw two persons, a man and a woman who entered quietly one might almost have said timidly, as if doubtful of a welcome in the crowded place.

So saying, he blew through his pipe, picked up a stick of soft pine, and began to whittle it to a point. "In my part of the country," went on Buck Daniels, "they don't lay much by a man that talks a pile." Here the blacksmith turned his head slowly, regarded his companion for an instant, and then resumed his whittling.
But the giant is a courteous monster, and more grateful than many other folk whom I have helped at a pinch, Master Wayland Smith." "Beshrew me, Flibbertigibbet," replied Wayland, "but thou art sharper than a Sheffield whittle! I would I knew by what charm you muzzled yonder old bear."
Andy started in the direction of the barn. He had caught the sound of some one chopping or hammering there. He came upon a hired hand splitting some sawed hickory slabs to whittle down into skewers. "Mr. Dale's folks all away?" inquired Andy. "Reckon they are, youngster," answered the man. "Will they be gone long, do you think?" "Mr. Dale won't. He drove the family over to Centreville.
