Certain vegetables, as sweet corn on the cob, may be regarded as a course by themselves, being too clumsy to be disposed of conveniently on a plate with other things. Celery is an appropriate accompaniment of the game course. The salad is sometimes served with the game; otherwise it follows as a course by itself. The salad marks the end of the heavy courses.
Though his bill had spoken of "carts," as if he had several, that was only a bit of splurge on his part; his one conveyance at the first was a stout spring cart, with a good brown cob between the shafts. But with this he did such a trade as had never been known in Barbie. The Provost said it was "shtupendous."
He hummed and hawed, and finally declared that he was afraid Mark Antony would shy. 'Then try the cob, said the indefatigable Miss Thorne. 'He's in physic, said Wilfred. 'There's the Beelzebub colt, said his sister; 'I know he's in the stable, because I saw Peter exercising him just now. 'My dear Monica, he's so wild that it's as much as I can do to manage him at all.
I can overtake him then, and we can have a bit of a talk together." The cob walked steadily on, avoiding awkward places better than his master could have guided him, and suddenly stopped short at a rocky pool, where a little spring of water gushed from the foot of a steep slope, and lowered its head to drink.
Close under a clump of pines the remains of a white man's camp in the shape of tin food cans, and broken cob pipes were found; while scattered near were the leaves of an old notebook and rudely traced map. No further proof was needed. It was the identical creek called Midas by Dunbar and Gibbs. It was well for them that they were not there. The heart of Alaska in winter!
He answered: "Oh! thanks awfully it was awfully good of you to come and meet me." "Cicely's so busy. It's only the T-cart. Have you got much luggage?" She took up his hold-all, and he took it from her; she took his bag, and he took it from her; then they went out to the T-cart. A small groom stood there, holding a silver-roan cob with a black mane and black swish tail.
The little sofa was fortunately like its build, strong as a cob, or it never could have borne the weight of two such lovers as the widow Vandersloosh and the Corporal Van Spitter; there they sat, she radiant with love and beer, he with ditto; their sides met, for the sofa exactly took them both in, without an inch to spare; their hands met, their eyes met, and whenever one raised the glass, the other was on the alert, and their glasses met and jingled a more practical specimen of hob and nob was never witnessed.
CATERAN, a Highland irregular soldier, a freebooter. CHAP, a customer. CLACHAN, a hamlet. CLAW FAVOUR, curry favour. CLAYMORE, a broad sword. CLEEK, a hook. CLEIK the cunzie, steal the silver.

With a mere touch, my carefully built structure would tumble like a cob house. Thus the work went on for years. In the meantime I attended meeting with my wife nearly every Lord's day, and heard much good preaching. Every important point in the sermon would be afterward investigated, and, like the noble Bereans, I searched the Scriptures daily, "to see whether those things were so."
For our own part, the stopper does not stay in the neck long enough after the demijohn reaches us to make it worth while worrying about this matter. Yet a nice attention to detail may prove that the cob has some secret affinity with cider, for a Missouri meerschaum never tastes so well as after three glasses of this rustic elixir.
