Was it bread that I wanted? Then I would imitate the acts of cutting the slices and buttering them. If I wanted my mother to make ice-cream for dinner I made the sign for working the freezer and shivered, indicating cold. My mother, moreover, succeeded in making me understand a good deal.
'I suppose Price and old Geoff are as thick as thieves, palavering away over that awful Latin, he soliloquised between the tunes he was whistling. 'Price will be buttering up Geoff at my expense, no doubt. Well, I don't care; why should I? I've made up my mind not to give in, and nobody not Price, at least shall make me.
The lawyer, while sedulously buttering his roll, had an aspect of unwonted gravity, arising, perhaps, from the severity of his morning studies. As for the Dominie, his state of mind was ecstatic! The Colonel's equanimity was rather shaken by this last blunder. "Upon my word, my good friend, Mr. Sampson, you forget the difference between Plato and Zenocrates."
No local Laureate has as yet written it up, though picnic parties used to gather themselves together on its banks and in its well-wooded shades, defiling everything they touched from bark to beach, leaving bits of bread here, dead pie there, buttering the leaves, peppering the grass, salting the stones, and scattering greasy crumpled paper PAPER PAPER everywhere.
Work in the risen batter two or three spoons at a time between each egg. Grate in the peel of a lemon or an orange. Blanched almonds may be set in the grooves of the cake-form after buttering it.

The moment old Aaron comes to town, I will pay you."
He was a little late himself, and he found his father already buttering his toast. 'I don't believe you'd get out of bed a moment sooner than you liked if you could save the whole property by it. 'You show me how I can make a guinea by it, sir, and see if I don't earn the money. Then he sat down and poured himself out a cup of tea, and looked at the kidneys and looked at the fish.
"Tell us at once, Billy Blanchard!" she ordered, "At once!" Quite after the maddening fashion of men the Young Doctor did not answer not until he had consumed, and appreciatively, the bit of roll that he had been buttering. And then "The other doctors agree with my diagnosis," he told them simply. "It's an extraordinary case, they say; but a not incurable one.
"Well," said the Giantess, "what excuse have you to offer?" "We didn't know anyone lived here, Madam," explained the Scarecrow; "so, being travelers and strangers in these parts, and wishing to find a place for our boy friend to sleep, we ventured to enter your castle." "You knew it was private property, I suppose?" said she, buttering another biscuit.
Is he going to Weston with me this morning to buy hairpins?" "He is!" Carnaby answered joyfully, between mouthfuls of bacon and eggs. "He has been out of hairpins for a week." "Does he need tapes and buttons also?" asked Robinette, taking the piece of muffin from his hand and buttering it for herself; an act highly disapproved of by Mrs. de Tracy, who hurriedly requested Bates to pass the bread.
