In such cases, he will have to exercise his own judgment and discretion.

Jonas was placed in such circumstances at one time, when he was sent to the carding-mill to get some rolls for Isabella.
The rolls which Isabella wanted were rolls of wool, as they are prepared at the mill ready for spinning.

The wool is carded very fine, and then, by curious machinery, it is rolled out into rolls about three feet long, and as large round as a whip-handle at the middle.

These rolls Isabella used to spin into yarn, at her spinning-wheel.
Isabella had spun nearly all her rolls, and she wanted Jonas to carry some wool to the carding-mill, and get some more.

The carding-mill was not in the village upon the outlet stream; but it was upon another stream, which emptied into the pond, instead of flowing from it.
