| The shavings flew right and left; till at last the plane-iron came bump against an indestructible knot. In the barrel beneath shavings lay a tin box containing Cowley & Son's cash. A scent of pine-wood from a tentlike pile of planks outside the open door mingled itself with the scent of the elder-bushes which were spreading their summer snow close to the open window opposite; the slanting sunbeams shone through the transparent shavings that flew before the steady plane, and lit up the fine grain of the oak panelling which stood propped against the wall. |
