For a while they forgot that the interest was due the next month, that no amount of patient figuring could show them how the year's taxes were to be met, and that the butter and egg money was their sole source of income. Instead, they gave themselves up to the enjoyment of having young folk in the quiet house and to the contemplation of Bob as their nephew.
Clearly, it was with reverent memory of this good man that Sir Thomas, near the close of his own long life, wrote: "Among thy multiplied acknowledgments, lift up one hand unto heaven that thou wert born of honest parents; that modesty, humility, patience, and veracity lay in the same egg and came into the world with thee."
"Then he's a thief!" he squawked. "Major Monkey is an egg thief!" And he flapped away across the pasture in a fine rage, to tell everybody what Aunt Polly Woodchuck had said. A little later in the day Major Monkey began to notice that a good many of his neighbors looked at him very coldly. The birds, especially, glared at him as if they were actually angry.
A few rough fellows who were not away at work in the valley munched the maize bread with a leek and a bit of salt fish, and some of them had oil on it. Our mountain people eat scarcely anything else, unless it be a little meat on holidays, or an egg when the hens are laying. But they laugh and chatter over the coarse fare, and drink a little wine when they can get it.
"My dear Giles, ladies never howl," said Barret, quietly tapping the end of an egg; "they smile, and gently insinuate that is always sufficient, because irresistible!" "Well, being a bachelor I cannot say much on that point," returned Jackman. "But I was not aware that you were married?" "Neither am I; but I have a mother and sisters, aunts and cousins, and I know their ways."
After you've shown me, it's just like that egg Columbus stood up on end, after cracking the shell a bit as easy as jumping off a log, once you know how. But now we're in here, I hope we find out the truth soon, don't you, Frank?" "Honest now, Bob, I don't care how quick it comes," replied his chum, frankly.
But he was a man. He had it to do an' he done it." Alice shuddered: "And then what became of him, then?" "Why, then, he went back to ranchin'. He owns the Bar X horse outfit over on the White Mud. This here, Owen that was his brother's name was just like a son to him. Jim tried to steer him straight, but the kid was just naturally a bad egg.
"That's our Botany Bay. That's where Differs ships his bad eggs. Not that Brannan was a bad egg, but that Differs so regarded him." "Had he been drinking or in any trouble?" "Well, not exactly trouble," said Hastings. "He didn't get along with one or two of the sergeants. They made frequent complaint of his 'lip, and the old man seemed suspicious of him."
Now beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, add a tablespoonful of sugar to each egg and put over the top. Decorate the top with the largest berries saved out at the commencement. Raspberry charlotte may be made the same way. Whip one quart of rich cream to a stiff froth and drain well on a nice sieve.
Otherwise we might kill the goose that lays the golden egg, and by proscribing imagination abolish science. Visionary experience has a first value in its possible pleasantness.
