Excerpt from Between Two Loves
The dusty daylight was loaded with a thou sand subtle Odors of Oil and wool and dyes, and the sunshine fell upon hundreds of webs, many colored and bright-tinted, soft and glossy as silk, beautiful with curious devices and borders and reliefs. It fell also upon hundreds Of hands, some of them ordinary enough, slipshod both as to mind and body; others bright, handsome alert, and full Of intelligence. The best work ers, almost without exception, were women, rosy-cheeked Yorkshire girls, or the more intel lectual Lancashire hand, with her wonderful gray eyes, long-fringed, bewitching, and full of feeling. The men had less individuality, and the long, blue Checked pinafore and Cloth cap, which all alike wore, still further increased their uniformity.
