Blithers could move that young woman, sir, if she didn't 'appen to want to be moved. Never in my life, sir, have I seen " "Run along, Hobbs," said the Prince. "Boiled guinea hen." "And cantaloupe, sir. Yes, sir, I quite remember everything now, sir."
The answer lies in the fact that during the last few years the natives have conceived a sudden taste for eggs. Formerly they were afraid to eat them. Of course, there was always an abundance of fruit. You can get pineapples, grape fruit, oranges, bananas and a first cousin of the cantaloupe, called the pei pei, which when sprinkled with lime juice is most delicious.
He was still framing in his thoughts some sort of statement concerning the apparition which he should make when the largest number of guests had got together at the table, with a fine question whether he should take them between the cantaloupe and the broiled chicken, or wait till they had come to the corn griddle-cakes, which St.
"Better than cantaloupe," said Dick as he finished half of a big one as a preliminary to his supper, "but what's this you are giving us for coffee?" "Coffee's out," replied Ned.
