And their children never have them." Calhoun stared. "You couldn't possibly be proved to be a Darian, then?" She shook her head. Calhoun remembered, and started the coffee-maker. "When you left Dara," he said, "You were carried a long, long way, to some planet where they'd practically never heard of Dara, and where the name meant nothing.
The boss coffee-maker attended strictly to his business, and some others cut and sliced an onion that was as large as a plate, covering it with salt and pepper and vinegar, which we ate as a "starter." We had an elegant supper and appetites to match. After supper some of the men went back to the store and laid in a supply of fresh bread and steak for breakfast.
"Will you do me a favour?" Ferrani's gesture was all-expressive. Words were entirely superfluous. "I want two addresses, please. First, the address of Joseph, your head musician, and, secondly, the address of Hassan, your coffee-maker." Ferrani effectually concealed any surprise he might have felt. He tore a page from his pocket-book. "Both I know," he declared.
He would usually watch the coffee-maker with bright, interested eyes. He'd even tried to imitate Calhoun's motions with it, once, and had scorched his paws in the attempt. This time he did not move. Calhoun turned his head. Murgatroyd sat on the floor, his long tail coiled reflectively about a chair-leg. He watched the door of the Med Ship's sleeping-cabin. "Murgatroyd," said Calhoun.
Everybody knows how necessary for coffee is good cream: in the country this is not hard to get; for the coffee-maker, early in the day, after setting her pots on the fire, visits the dairy, and with her own hands lightly skims the fresh flower of the milk into a separate little jug for each cup, that each of them may be dressed in its separate little cap.
A slatternly woman looked at her curiously from behind the counter. "I am told that Hassan lodges here, the coffee-maker from Henry's," Pamela began. The woman looked at her in a peculiar fashion. "Well?" "I wish to see him." "You can't, then," was the curt answer. "He's at his prayers." "At what?" Pamela exclaimed. "At his prayers," the woman repeated brusquely.
These are the principal requirements that need consideration, the remaining furnishing of subordinate apartments being, of course, of commonplace and ordinary description. The refreshment department requires possibly a coffee-maker, refrigerator, ice-box, and shelf fittings; but, as a general rule, no arrangements for actual cooking.
Jill had finished the first of many evening meals she was to partake of in the desert, and was lying on a heap of cushions listening to the clink of brass coffee utensils and porcelain cups, whilst sniffing appreciatively the aroma of Eastern coffee Easternly made, which is totally different to that which permeates the dim recesses draped with tinselled dusty hangings, and cluttered with Eastern stools and tables inlaid with mother o' pearl made in Birmingham, in the ubiquitous Oriental Cafe at which we meet the rest of us at eleven o'clock on Saturday morning at the seaside; nor does it resemble in the slightest that which is oilily poured forth in London town by the fat, oily, so-called "Son of the Crescent" who, wearing fez and baggy trousers, in some caravanserai West, Sou'-west or Nor'-west, has unfailingly been chief coffee-maker to the late Sultan, vide anyway the hotel advertisements.
Morning was coming among the fading stars when she mounted a long ridge, the quick striding of her horse indicating that there was something ahead at last, and came upon the camp fire, the coffee, and the cook, all beside a splintered gray rock that rose as high as a house out of the barrenness of the hill. The coffee-maker was a woman, and her pot was of several gallons' capacity.
"Then let's go on deck coffee-maker." They were quite alone. He put his arm around her as she stood up. "Everything you give me seems to me different from other things," he said "different, and so much better." "Your imagination is kind to me too kind. You are foolish about me." "Am I?" He looked into her eyes, and his kind and enthusiastic eyes became almost piercing for an instant.
