    сущ.; собст.; SK, DT
    также просто Reaping Fair или Reaping Day
    Ярмарка Жатвы; День Жатвы; Жатва
    Праздничный день в мире Роланда, в который устраивались публичные гулянья, выбиралась пара молодых девушки и юноши, объявляемых соответственно Девушкой Жатвы и Юношей Жатвы. Позднее, ночью, называемой ярморочной ночью, на кострах сжигали соломенные чучела.

    “You will make the most beautiful Reap-Girl that ever was,” he said, and the clear sincerity in his voice made her tingle with pleasure; her cheeks grew warm again. There were five changes of costume for the Reaping Girl between the noon feast and the bonfire at dusk, each more elaborate than the last (in Gilead there would have been nine; in that way, Susan didn’t know how lucky she was), and she would have worn all five happily for Will, had he been the Reaping Lad. (This year’s Lad was Jamie McCann, a pallid and whey-faced stand-in for Hart Thorin, who was approximately forty years too old and gray for the job.) — Ты будешь самой прекрасной Девушкой Жатвы. На все времена. – Голос его звучал абсолютно искренне, и Сюзан вновь зарделась. На этот раз от удовольствия. Между обедом в полдень и праздничным костром с фейерверками в сумерках Девушке Жатвы предстояло появиться на людях в пяти костюмах, один красивее другого (в Гилеаде костюмов было девять, так что Сюзан не знала, что ей, можно сказать, повезло), и она с радостью надела бы все пять для Уилла, будь он Юношей Жатвы. Но в этот год в юноши определили Джейми Макканна, бледного и некрасивого подростка, заменившего Харта Торина, который явно не проходил по возрасту. (ТБ 4)

  • 5 Fair-Day(s)

    сущ.; собст.; SK, DT
    публичные праздники-выходные в мире Роланда, приуроченные в основном к сезонным сельскохозяйственным мероприятиям

    When I was a boy in the Barony of Gilead, there were seven Fair-Days each year—Winter, Wide Earth, Sowing, Mid-Summer, Full Earth, Reaping, and Year’s End. Riddling was an important part of every Fair-Day, but it was the most important event of the Fair of Wide Earth and that of Full Earth, for the riddles told were supposed to augur well or ill for the success of the crops. — Когда я был маленьким, в феоде Гилеад каждый год проводились семь больших ярмарок, в честь Зимы, Широкой Земли, Первого Сева, Летнего Солнцестояния, Полной Земли, Завершения Жатвы и Нового года. Загадывание загадок было непременной частью каждой ярмарки, но самую важную роль они играли на праздниках Широкой и Полной Земли, потому считалось, что качество загадок напрямую влияет на урожай: чем они лучше, тем сбор больше.

  • 7 Bell, Revd Patrick

    [br]
    b. 1799 Auchterhouse, Scotland
    d. 22 April 1869 Carmyllie, Scotland
    [br]
    Scottish inventor of the first successful reaping machine.
    [br]
    The son of a Forfarshire tenant farmer, Patrick Bell obtained an MA from the University of St Andrews. His early association with farming kindled an interest in engineering and mechanics and he was to maintain a workshop not only on his father's farm, but also, in later life, at the parsonage at Carmyllie.
    He was still studying divinity when he invented his reaping machine. Using garden shears as the basis of his design, he built a model in 1827 and a full-scale prototype the following year. Not wishing the machine to be seen during his early experiments, he and his brother planted a sheaf of oats in soil laid out in a shed, and first tried the machine on this. It cut well enough but left the straw in a mess behind it. A canvas belt system was devised and another secret trial in the barn was followed by a night excursion into a field, where corn was successfully harvested.
    Two machines were at work during 1828, apparently achieving a harvest rate of one acre per hour. In 1832 there were ten machines at work, and at least another four had been sent to the United States by this time. Despite their success Bell did not patent his design, feeling that the idea should be given free to the world. In later years he was to regret the decision, feeling that the many badly-made imitations resulted in its poor reputation and prevented its adoption.
    Bell's calling took precedence over his inventive interests and after qualifying he went to Canada in 1833, spending four years in Fergus, Ontario. He later returned to Scotland and be-came the minister at Carmyllie, with a living of £150 per annum.
    [br]
    Principal Honours and Distinctions
    Late in the day he was honoured for his part in the development of the reaping machine. He received an honorary degree from the University of St Andrews and in 1868 a testimonial and £1,000 raised by public subscription by the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland.
    Bibliography
    1854, Journal of Agriculture (perhaps stung by other claims, Bell wrote his own account).
