You may tell miss smith that i forgot to make a memorandum of the darning needles , but she shall have some papers sent in next week ; and she is not , on any account , to give out more than one at a time to each pupil : if they have more , they are apt to be careless and lose them 請你告訴史密斯小姐,我忘掉了買織補針的事。不過下星期我會派人送些紙來,給每個學生的一次不得超過一張,給多了,她們容易粗枝大葉,把它們弄丟了。

They ' ve been dubbed devil ' s darning needles , horse stingers , and finger cutters 人們給它們起了魔鬼蜻蜓,毒刺,或手指切割機等綽號。
