We used to cook chicken by first cleaning it, but leaving the feathers on, then cover it with clay and lay it in a hole filled with hot coals. When it was done we would just knock off the clay and the feathers would come off with it. When I was a 'kid' I wore nothing but a 'three cornered rag' and my mother made all my clothes as I grew older. No, the slaves never knew what underwear was.
"Gang fight," his chauffeur informed him briefly: "fly-cops cornered a bunch of 'em in November's garage " "Whose garage ?" "Red November's! Guess you've heard of him," the man pursued eagerly. "That's right he runs his own garage taxis for Dutch House souses, yunno " "Wait!" P. Sybarite interrupted. "Let me get this straight."
The rumor began to spread that "Uncle Daniel" was cornered. His large obligations for future delivery must be met. Where was the Erie stock to come from? The stock continued to soar, and Treasurer Drew seemed to become more and more depressed. Then the blow fell. Drew laid his hands on the collateral which he held for his loan to the Erie.
"Tell her, sir," said Beverly in a commanding voice. "I I cannot," faltered Stanton; "it's impossible!" "Then I'll find out from him," cried Hélène. Stanton realised that he was cornered. "Find out what you please, from whom you please," he said harshly. "We'll go to him; he'll tell us. We should have done that at first," and Hélène turned to Beverly.
It is unnecessary to follow the discussion, but, one after another, the quicker-witted and better-informed preacher successfully combated all the propositions advanced by my relative in trying to give a reason for the faith that was in him, until he was completely cornered.
As well might Sandy try to make love to a cornered wildcat. He threw her from him, and Tess, springing up, uninjured, raced up the hill. Sandy's words, broken by fierce oaths, overtook her, "You just wait! I'll tame ye yet, ye devilish brat, ye!" At the top of the lane, Tess stopped to get breath. The familiar sounds of the early summer evening assailed her ears.
Between them the two had cornered, at enormous expense, the curio market of the game. It was Rackstraw who had secured the authentic pair of boots in which Bloomer had first played for England; but it was Dodson who possessed the painted india-rubber ball used by Meredith when a boy probably the first thing except a nurse ever kicked by that talented foot.
During a second visit to the church we went in by the middle door, the medium course, as the proverb hath it, being the safest, and seeing the offertory box a remarkably strong, iron- cornered article, fastened to the wall we remarked to an official, in his shirt sleeves, who was with us, "This will stand a deal of money before falling."
This painful examination having been completed, Antommarchi took out the heart and placed it in a silver vase filled with spirits of wine; he then directed the valet de chambre to dress the body as he had been accustomed in the Emperor's lifetime, with the grand cordon of the Legion of Honour across the breast, in the green uniform of a colonel of the Chasseurs of the Guard, decorated with the orders of the Legion of Honour and of the Iron Crown, long boots with little spurs, finally, his three cornered hat.
Did a frightened young man ever have such fortunate deliverance? The providence was probably intended to humble the trustees, yet the scared preacher took advantage of it. But after we got home we saw the wickedness of being in such dread. As the Lord got us out of that predicament, we resolved never again to be cornered in one similar.
