Excerpt from Sunset
A needle in Alix's life was a serious thing, it was an implement Of labour such as no one would dream of treating lightly.
A deal table above her head was littered with an entanglement Of thread, reels, pins, scraps, lining, tapes, ribbons, laces and silk, out Of which confound ing disorder, skilful hands and a needle were called upon to evolve order, in the form of raiment. Be yond the deal table, behind the child, stood an open box of crippled toys: toys crippled in honest service, but out of which no creditable resurrection was possible.
