Instead of doing so he forgot all about it. When he shot Sir Horace Fewbanks he put his hand into his pocket for a handkerchief to wipe his forehead or his hands it was a hot night, and I take it that a man who has killed another doesn't feel as cool as a cucumber.
In a few yards they were off the causeway; the coach, striking deep water, settled like a boat, and turned over on its side, with the leaders swimming for their lives. As for the wheelers, they were pulled down with the vehicle, and were almost drowning in their harness. Cool as a cucumber, Blake had turned to the girl. "Can you swim?" he said. And she answered him as cooly, "Yes, a little."
There will now be no difficulty in taking stock to Chambers Creek. From this camp to the springs will be the longest journey to be encountered in a season like this, in which so little rain has fallen. After rain has fallen there will be no difficulty at all. The native cucumber grows about here. Thursday, 14th April. Started at 8.10.
Mosher fished another cucumber from his trousers and fired squarely at his advancing enemy. That gentleman dodged, tripped upon a bit of debris, and fell over backwards with a "plop." As Skinny advanced incautiously to make sure of his victim, Red retired him with a glancing shot on his upraised hand. "You're a deader, you're a deader," he yelled as Mosher lifted his arm a second time.
One of them said, 'My husband has sown a great deal of corn; if there is plenty of rain my husband will give me a new gown. The other said, 'My husband is a tile-maker; he has made a great quantity; if there is not a drop of rain he will give me a new gown. The Cogia said, 'One of you two may be worth a cucumber, but which of the two God knows, I don't.
The eager hospitality of these poor villagers is really touching; they are working without so much as "thank you" for payment, there is not a garment amongst the gang fit for a human covering; their unvarying daily fare is the "blotting-paper ekmek" and yaort, with a melon or a cucumber occasionally as a luxury; yet, the moment I approach, they assign me a place at their "table," and two of them immediately bestir themselves to make me a comfortable seat.
"Excuse me for the eating-house comparison, but you remind me of fresh salted cucumber; it still smells of the hotbed, so to speak, and yet has a smack of the salt and a scent of fennel about it. As time goes on you will make a magnificent woman, a wonderful, exquisite woman.
"Oh, it's dreadful!" puffs Marjorie. "He he's come!" "That Gilkey guy?" says I. "Ye-e-es," says she. "But but how did you know?" "I'm a seventh son, born with a cowlick," says I. "Was it Gilkey made his entrance through the cucumber frame?" It was. Also he'd managed to cut himself in the ankles and right wrist.
Of course the result was immensely too much vinegar for any possible household needs, considering that not even a cucumber bed was as yet laid out in the embryo garden. But now April, 'the moon for breaking the snow-shoes, in Ojibbeway parlance, was advancing; patches of brown ground began to appear under the hot sunlight, oozy and sloppy until the two-feet depth of frost was gradually exhaled.
Little dinner breads are good when soaked in milk, stuffed with sausage meat, and fried. It can be used to stuff cucumber, or eggplants, but you should then crumble up the meat and bind it with the yolk of a raw egg. Braise your shoulder of lamb; that is, put it in a closely covered stewpan, in a good brown sauce or gravy with the vegetables, to be served with it.
