"What is that you say?" she cried and gave the smith a box on his ears with the ladle. "If you want to come along, hang on," said Taper Tom. So she stuck fast too, and for all her kicks and plunges, and all her scolding and screaming, and all her riving and striving, she too had to limp along with them. Soon the whole company came under the Princess's window. There she stood waiting for them.

It seemed that there was to be a brief respite, however; for the Old Woman turned to the steaming pot and began testing its contents with great seriousness, lifting the ladle to her lips again and again, and looking abstractedly far away into the forest. In the meantime more of the children gathered around Everychild. A few of the girls now joined their brothers.

Secondly, You must have a broad Pan to put hot Coals in. Thirdly, Provide a Brass Ladle to pour the Sugar upon the Seeds.

But the woman had retreated to the tent, from the entrance of which her loathly face was now thrust, with an expression partly of terror and partly of curiosity.

These uncivilized children of the desert watch me drink broth from the ladle with most intense curiosity.

The camp cook was quite a character, much deferred to and patronised, and was ever eager to drop his ladle in favour of the refrigerator which he kept ready to make cold meat of the cool Boer who ventured within range of it.

As she opened it a new horde of fog-wraiths blew in. The world was a gray, wet blanket.

Our carpenter being prepared to grave the outside of the ship, as well as to pay the seams where he had caulked her to stop the leaks, had got two kettles just let down into the boat, one filled with boiling pitch, and the other with rosin, tallow, and oil, and such stuff as the shipwrights use for that work; and the man that attended the carpenter had a great iron ladle in his hand, with which he supplied the men that were at work with the hot stuff.

La Vie Feminine opened no less than seven ouvroirs, where five hundred women were given work. When the refugees began pouring in she was among the first to ladle out soup and deplete her wardrobe. She even went to the hastily formed hospitals in Paris and offered her services.
