"They don't taste just like those Aunt Clara made the other day," said Gladys, chewing her mouthful somewhat doubtfully. Aunt Clara hastily took an experimental bite. "Why, Katherine!" she exclaimed with a little shriek of laughter, "you haven't put any baking powder in them. I thought mine looked awfully flat when I was frying it. Did you think the dough would rise of itself, like the sun?"
If there was only one of them, and I wouldn't care very much which of them it was, I would tackle her unhesitatingly; but the two of them together are rather too big a mouthful for us.
Playing Lady Bountiful to the girls who are left behind without them suspecting you won't be easy. There are certain girls who would languish in their rooms all day, rather than accept a mouthful of food that savored of charity. I don't believe our eight girls ever suspected us of playing Santa Claus to them last year." "Oh, I am certain they never knew," returned Arline quickly.
After an hour's hard drubbing, I took occasion to step over and see a man whose friendship I had never ceased to curry the cook, and I was just swallowing the first mouthful of the fruits of my friendship when my joy was rudely interrupted by an orderly. "The Major wants to see you, Grant."
For the first time he realized that he had not been considering his child at all, in any plans he had made for the future; and the thought was a bit disturbing. "What is her name?" prompted Elinor. "Arethusa." "Arethusa!" "Yes. I know it's a most awful mouthful. But her mother named her," his voice softened, "her own name was Matilda; and she had always disliked it so."
The Brazilian is in this respect almost a Yankee little sums do not content him. Why should they, when he can truthfully boast that his territory is larger than that of the United States? His mile is longer than that of any other nation, and the bocadinho, or extra "mouthful," which generally accompanies it, is endless.
Still the fact remains that throughout the whole railway journey the German authorities never supplied us with a mouthful of food. After a wait of three hours at Hannover the train resumed its journey, reaching the station adjacent to the camp at Ruhleben at 6.0 a.m.
A number of Indians came into the presence of the two kings and their attendants, bringing a good quantity of cana, the herb of which they make their drink, each of whom took a large mouthful thereof, and having chewed it a while, put it from their mouths into a large wooden trough, and poured water on the chewed herb.
But my appetite was greatly diminished when I saw their style of cookery. In about half an hour she put her dirty hands into the water, and mixed the whole together, now and then taking a mouthful, and, after chewing it, spitting it back again into the pan. She then took a dirty rag, and strained off the juice, which she poured over the flesh in the pot.
"That poor boy didn't seem much of a savage, uncle," said Rodd quietly; and after a sidelong glance to see whether he dared say it, the boy continued tentatively, "I wish the poor fellow had been here to have this ham." "What!" roared his uncle fiercely. "Bah! You wouldn't have left him a mouthful. Wolf raven!" "Yes, I would, uncle. I'd have left him all."
