Excerpt from Drones Honey

"Benjamin, my son, do you see that Kate has a skein ready for you to hold?"

It was precisely what the young man had been trying not to see, but at this maternal reminder he sprang forward with tardy gallantry, and proffered his services, which Miss Kate laughingly accepted. And thus he was pinned for an indefinite period in the recesses of the bay-window, with arms extended like pegs from the wall. He looked at the worsted, and occasionally essayed a remark, while she looked at him and replied, till in some way - she said he was careless - the skein became entangled, and her white fingers flew hither and thither among the meshes, trying to find the lost clew.
