And to make her meaning even more plain, nature has planted a parasite, the bind-weed by its side, which winds itself round and round the plant up and down, to and fro, like a weaver's shuttle. And isn't it wonderful that not a man, but a butterfly, first thought of spinning the flax?
The colt stood with drooping head, drumming on the ground with the crippled foreleg; from time to time the unfortunate animal shivered as with a violent chill. Old Man Curry knelt in the mud, but rose almost immediately; one glance at the broken leg was enough. He looked at the little negro. "How did it happen, Mose?" "Jockey Murphy done it, boss. He was on 'at thing of Weaver's." "A-purpose?"
"Get into the Jew's house, we don't want to hear children's stories " "Be quiet there!" "Hush now listen; from the sheep he will go on to the wolves." "Not wolves it will be a she-wolf!" some one shouted in the throng. "Do not mention the horrid things!" laughed Verus, "but listen to me. Well, the child set his little sheep up in a row each one close to the next. He was a weaver's son.
And then Henry, massaging a stricken elbow, was aware of Miss Weaver at his side. Looking up, he caught Miss Weaver's eye. A familiar stage-direction of melodrama reads, 'Exit cautious through gap in hedge'. It was Henry's first appearance on any stage, but he did it like a veteran. 'My dear fellow, said Walter Jelliffe. The hour was midnight, and he was sitting in Henry's bedroom at the hotel.
Another Pantomime of Weaver's was "The Judgment of Paris" date uncertain performed by the author's pupils "in the great room over the Market-house," Shrewsbury in which town he had taken up his residence in the year 1750. John Weaver died September 28th, 1760, and was buried at St. Chads, Shrewsbury.
He fed the hungry, and clothed the naked, and healed the sick, and comforted the captive; and his years went by more swiftly than the weaver's shuttle that flashes back and forth through the loom while the web grows and the invisible pattern is completed. It seemed almost as if he had forgotten his quest.
At Stirling, in the noble churchyard perched on the Castle Rock, the weaver's shuttle noticed at Inverness appears in many varieties, for Pennant tells us that in 1772 Stirling, with only 4000 inhabitants, was an important factory of "tartanes and shalloons," and employed about thirty looms in making carpets.
See how his knees, flying like a weaver's shuttle, from one extremity of the saddle to another, destroy, in a pleasure-ride from Edinburgh to Roslin, the good, gray kerseymeres, which were glittering a day or two ago in Scaife and Willis's shop. The horse begins to gallop Bless our soul! the gentleman will decidedly roll off.
He was the son of a wool weaver named Domenico Columbus, and spent his early boyhood in the dark and busy weaver's quarter of Genoa, always within hearing of the sound of the loom. His father was an industrious and hard-working man, and designed that Christopher should become a wool weaver like himself.
Then, keeping the threads in the same order, they pass through the teeth of a "reed," that is, a hanging frame shaped like a great comb as long as the loom is wide; and last, they are fastened to the "front beam," which runs in front of the weaver's seat and on which the cloth is to be rolled when it has been woven. Each harness is connected with a treadle.
