Yes, sir; soon after that we got real intimate. He knocked the gun out of my hands, and we began to arbitrate. We plumb ruined that spot for a camping place; rooted it up in furrows, and tramped each other's stummicks out of shape. We finally reached an amicable settlement by me getting him agin a log where I could brand him with the coffee-pot.
One house will have only an earthen floor; another will be so small that "you cain't cuss a cat in it 'thout gittin' ha'r in yer teeth." Utensils are limited to a frying-pan, an iron pot, a coffee-pot, a bucket, and some gourds. There is not enough tableware to go around, and children eat out of their parents' plates, or all "soup-in together" around one bowl of stew or porridge.
Berners set down the coffee-pot, and hurried towards the door of the vault, and looked through the iron grating. But he could see nothing but the top of those stairs, the bottom of which disappeared in the darkness. He then shook the door; but it firmly resisted all his strength. The bars appeared to be built into the solid masonry.
But the door slammed to sooner than Sary had calculated and struck the coffee-pot in its violent closing, throwing it upon the floor. "Consarn th' pesky door! Now thar hain't nuthin' on arth fer Mr. Brewster to give thanks fer but jes' toast and jam. Ah cain't bile another pot of coffee on Sunday!" Sary stood contemplating the disaster until Mrs.
I reached the village of La Mothe by the Dordogne, and while I was casting about for an inn that looked comfortable, and also hospitable, I met a pretty little brunette with a rich southern colour in her cheeks, charmingly coifed a la bordelaise, and tripping jauntily along with a coffee-pot in her hand.
"It's my turn to wait upon you, and I Oh! how I love to have you dazed," Rose answered. "I'll be at the table presently myself; but we have been housekeeping only three minutes, and we have nothing but the tin coffee-pot this morning, so I'll pour the coffee from the stove." She filled a cup with housewifely care and brought it to Stephen's side.
"Oblige me by refraining from thought," he said urbanely. So the coffee was brought, and Sir John consumed it in silent majesty. While he was pouring out his second cup of a diminutive size the bell rang. He set down the silver coffee-pot with a clatter, as if his nerves were not quite so good as they used to be. It was not Jack, but a note from him.
I am ending before I begin." Darrow knocked at the door, and the woman opened it with the coffee-pot still in her hand. "So you've come back," she said in a voice that was without surprise and without gratitude. "I came back to ask what you've done about a place. This gentleman is with me. You don't mind his stepping inside a minute?" "Oh, no, I don't mind. I don't mind anything."
This time he was resolved not to accept defeat. A solitary waiter espied them promptly, having so little to do in this doleful weather, and came for orders. Mr. Fairfax asked for some coffee, and waited in silence while the man brought a little tray with cups and saucers and a great copper coffee-pot, out of which he poured the black infusion with infinite flourish. "Bring some cognac," said Mr.
When Frank had finished skinning the squirrels, he stuck them up before the fire, on spits, to roast. The trout he served in the same manner; and, raking out a few live coals from the fire, he placed the coffee-pot upon them, when the work of getting breakfast began in earnest. "Now, boys, you may help yourselves." And they did help themselves most bountifully.
