Didn't he tell old John he couldn't recommend him for the dole, just by reason he rapped out an oath or two when his grand-daughter let the milk-jug fall? and if old Bet Donnerthwaite had had a sup too much one night at the ale-house, was it for a gentleman born like the parson to take note of that? "But he has done worse things than that, Cary," said Ephraim, with grave mouth and laughing eyes.
Bitter attacks were made on me for my Socialist advocacy by some of the Radicals in the Freethought party, and looking back I find myself condemned as a "Saint Athanasius in petticoats," and as possessing a "mind like a milk-jug." This same courteous critic remarked, "I have heard Mrs.
Yes; I'll be a poet even though you do scratch my wrist with your hind claws, Polyphemus." There! Empty your milk-jug and I will empty my bottle. The wine smells of hyacinth. It is a revelation. Her hair smells of violets, but it is the delicate odour of hyacinth that came from her bare young arms when she clasped them round my neck; et sa peau, on dirait du satin.
At North Platte, where we supped that evening, one man asked another to pass the milk-jug.

We sat on chairs, at a table, and ate from plates. There was a table-cloth, a salt-cellar made of glass, of glass never seen at camps near Katahdin.

His hostess entered bearing a tray, which held a teapot, cups, a large loaf of bread, and some butter, and a milk-jug and sugar-basin. She plumped it down on the table. "Mrs. Brigg wouldn't make toast," she explained. "And I didn't like to keep you." "Let's make some ourselves," said Julian, with a happy inspiration.

Surprise and indignation deprived the stout matron of utterance. "Or a milk-jug either," pursued her opponent, following up her advantage. "Or a coffee-pot, or "
"Sure, I thought I'd let you sleep as late as ever you liked," she said, "for there's no school to-day, but you're awake and clacking, so how would you like to go with your Dada to the bog to cut turf? Himself will put a bit of bread in his pocket for you, and you can take a sup of milk along." "Oh, wirra!" cried Eileen. "What have we done but left the milk-jug at Grannie Malone's!"
