George Dorety made no answer, and to the meal's end no one spoke. After that, Dorety had his meals served in his stateroom. Captain Cullen scowled at him no longer, though no speech was exchanged between them, while the Mary Rogers sped north toward warmer latitudes. At the end of the week, Dan Cullen cornered Dorety on deck. "What are you going to do when we get to Frisco?" he demanded bluntly.
After Mrs. Newt had left the room Mr. Wetherley fell into confusion. He immediately embarked, of course, upon the weather; while Fanny, taking up a book, looked casually into it with a slight air of ennui. "Have you read this?" said she to Mr. Wetherley. "No, I suppose not; eh! what is it?" replied Zephyr, who was not a reading man. "It is John Meal's 'Rachel Dyer." "Oh, indeed! No, indeed.
I hadn't any appetite to eat while he was sick, but now that he's dead, I feel as if I could eat something. You and your girls must come over and spend a day with me some time soon. He's left me full and plenty, and you needn't be afraid to take a meal's victuals off me'!" "How odd! I don't think she could be quite broken-hearted."
The passage is this, when Judas's treachery was preparing to be executed, and accordingly it seemed requisite that all the disciples should be provided to guard and secure their assaulted master, our Saviour, that he might piously caution them against reliance for his delivery on any worldly strength, asks them, whether in all their embassy they lacked anything, when he had sent them out so unfurnished for the performance of a long journey, that they had not so much as shoes to defend their feet from the injuries of flints and thorns, or a scrip to carry a meal's meat in; and when they had answered that they lacked nothing, he adds, But now he that hath a purse let him take it, and likewise a scrip; and he that hath no sword let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Denham, looking grimmer than ever as she stood on her veranda arrayed in bonnet and wraps. "Thanky, Mistiss! thanky, ma'am. I ain't had no meal's vittles like dat, not gence I lef Ferginny." "Can you drive a carriage, David?" the old lady asked. "Dat I kin, Mistiss." Whereupon he seized the reins and let down the carriage steps. Mrs.

"There ain't agoin' to be no pay took fur this day's work," suddenly exclaimed Buck as he finished a generous portion of cold sliced ham and potato salad. The boys laughed in protest. "I ain't seen real food in ten years," continued Buck, "and what I said goes. This meal's worth a week's work to me."
