Forgeman

He was a friend of theirs, a good man and trusty, and in the days before he knew Nayla, Haugh had been, for a long sweet summer, much closer friends with the forgeman™s daughter than with the smith himself. ❋ Berberick, Nancy Varian (2002)

He had the broad shoulders of a forgeman, the scarred hands, the keen eye that knew how to look into the heart of fire and see how well his iron was faring. ❋ Berberick, Nancy Varian (2000)

Sweat and dirt grimed the loose, white forgeman™s shirt he wore. ❋ Berberick, Nancy Varian (1988)

He had long ago abandoned his loose forgeman™s shirt for a leather apron. ❋ Berberick, Nancy Varian (1988)

Isarn, his lungs filled with bitter steam, sweat glistening on his face and thick forgeman™s arms, gently withdrew Stormblade from the trough. ❋ Berberick, Nancy Varian (1988)

He didn™t like to recall their shock when they™d seen his ruined hand, or the way they™d looked at him when they realized he was not the quiet, peaceable forgeman they™d known only a few short weeks ago. ❋ Berberick, Nancy Varian (1988)

When we reached it, I said to my friend the forgeman, "This is our way," and turned towards the path. ❋ Cornwell, Patricia (1930)

And, while I was considering how to accomplish my negative purpose, I saw a forgeman coming across the field from his work. ❋ Cornwell, Patricia (1930)

"No," said he, "I shall wait for you here;" and the forgeman and I walked up to the cottage together. ❋ Cornwell, Patricia (1930)

He could be a forgeman, he thought, but never a clerk; and in that limitation he realized that he was inferior to his father. ❋ Joseph Hergesheimer (1917)

The forgeman struck the molten iron dead, Hammer in hand, as if he had a hundred in his head! ❋ Smiles, Samuel, 1812-1904 (1891)

He might deal them out on to the ponderous glowing mass, and mould or knead it into the desired form as if it were a lump of clay; or pat it with gentle taps according to his will, or at the desire of the forgeman. ❋ Nasmyth, James (1885)

"The day after he left us he was taken on as forgeman at Dana's." ❋ Thomas Bailey Aldrich (1871)

"Caroline," he exclaimed, "is as strong as a forgeman; she upset me on the grass as quickly as you please, hooked her knee behind me, and there I was. ❋ Joseph Hergesheimer (1917)
