' ' you may think that there is nothing on it , ' answered she , ' but i can assure you that there is a large skein of wool , so fine that nobody can see it , which will be woven into a coat for you . ' ' dear me ! ' he replied , ' what a clever wife i have got ! if you had not told me i should never have known that there was any wool on the wheel at all . but now i really do seem to see something . '
