And one of those who suck the life out of the wretched handloom weavers in Tipton and Freshitt.
Middlemarch by Eliot, George View in context
Where had been formerly but the click of the shuttle was soon the roar of 'power,' handlooms were pushed into a corner as a room is cleared for a dance; every morning at half-past five the town was wakened with a yell, and from a chimney-stack that rose high into our caller air the conqueror waved for evermore his flag of smoke.
Margaret Ogilvy by Barrie, James Matthew View in context
