I was working for a lace maker, and was barely earning a living.

Harmer was by trade a gold and silver lace maker.

He was a failure as footman, as servant, as tutor, as secretary, as music copier, as lace maker.

The threads are twisted and plaited together by the lace maker, who throws the bobbins over and under each other.

But the worthy lace maker was a godly man, and brave with the courage that comes of a lively faith.

A century old Derbyshire lace maker's wares have been used to dress top models in the latest collection from fashion designer Burberry.

It is a pulsing, undulating farrago of threads, feathers, knobs, and whiskers, a microscopic lace maker frenetically making a lace called life.

I trow it is the coffin makers, not the lace makers, who have all the trade nowadays!
