piecer

Six months later, he left school and started work as a piecer at the mills.

"Let's go home," blubbered Piecer, shaking himself like a big dog.

Hawthorne originally planned a lengthy work about Brand, but completed only this piecer.

Rushing to the door, she jerked it open, bumped against Piecer, on his way in, and sat down with a thud.

"Better save your strength for your work," advised Piecer, stepping back a few paces.

"Not scrapple, eggs," said Piecer, setting down his pile of garments.

Piecer, panting up the steps from the kitchen, was picked up bodily and dropped out of the window.

"No, but I feel something," grunted Piecer, peering anxiously down at his feet.

"But I'm not nearly finished," objected Piecer, rattling the paper impatiently.

The little piecer would start in the mulegate on his fourteenth birthday, and rise to the status of a minder.

The team was reduced to one spinner and one piecer, with the position of doffer eliminated.

When it did stop Piecer was too giddy to see, but Scrapper gave a loud roar of anger.

'I'm chief scavenger and piecer and don't you forget it!'

"I hope she has breakfast ready," muttered Piecer, groaning a little as he straightened his knees and stretched out his arms.

"I wish Cross Patch had never gone to pieces," moaned Piecer dismally.

Something is wrong," puffed the Prime Piecer dolefully.

And while the Patchwork Girl fell back, stiff with astonishment, Piecer clapped the bag over her head.

As Piecer and Scrapper stepped into the main hall of the palace, she was arranging her yarn hair before a long mirror.

"What a pretty creature," chirped the Scissor Bird, who had flown over Piecer's head.

They worked barefoot in humid temperatures, the minder and the little piecer worked the minders half of the mule.

Piecer was about to explain, but Scrapper, afraid that this bewitching damsel might escape them, rushed forward impetuously and seized her hand.

As the door slammed upon Piecer, the Chief Scrapper faced the Patchwork Girl.

In 1824 Mayall married Elizabeth Winterbottom of Lees, a piecer he employed.

Mules were worked in pairs by a minder, with the help of two boys: the little piecer and the big or side piecer.
