This is often the case with new, high-priced varieties, and occasionally with an old and popular one that naturally increases very slowly, as the Shakespeare. It has been discovered that this end can be achieved by peeling the bulblets before planting.
She put out a hand, plucked a twig from a low drooping bough, and peeling the gummy rind, quoted softly: "'Why do you cross me in this exigent? 'I do not cross you; but I will do so." "If I remember," mused John, "that is what Shakespeare makes Octavius say to Mark Antony before Pharsalia." She nodded. "Do you know that you always put me in mind of Octavius.
"I don't need any one to go with me," said that lady, and away she started. "She don' neber want nobody to show her nowhar," said Plez, returning with looks of much disapprobation to his business of peeling potatoes for dinner.
"Oliver," returned the hunter gravely, as he continued the peeling of the bark from the rod, "a lad with strong limbs and a stout heart should never use the words `not able' till he has tried. I have seen many promising and goodly young men come to wreck because `I can't' was too often on their lips. You never know what you can do till you try."
He counted them silently as they flipped over the bulwark and fell into the chilly hold, marked a slip, handed Gower the money for them. The hand that took the money, a pudgy hand all angry red from beating sun, had blisters in the palm. Gower's face, like his hands, was brick red. Already shreds of skin were peeling from his nose and cheeks. August sun on the Gulf. MacRae knew its bite and sting.
If it's only splitting kindling or running a trolley car he can make a good, artistic job of it. If it's only writing a book or peeling potatoes he can put into it the best he has. Even if he's only a bald-headed old fool over forty selling books on a country road, he can make an ideal of it. Good old Parnassus!
"The doctor here is so foolish," she commented with an injured air, "she's always bothering about infection or contagion or whatever you call it. It isn't necessary either. I know a doctor at home and he told a woman to wrap up her little girl and bring her down to his office, and the little girl was peeling too. He knew it wouldn't do any harm even if she did go in the street car.
Next day boil them in the same syrup for another quarter of an hour. When cold, put them into glass jars with the syrup, and tie them up with brandy paper. To preserve them whole without peeling, you must prick each at the top and bottom, with a large needle. Take fine ripe plums; weigh them, and to each pound allow a pound and a half of loaf-sugar.
Kate's sense of direction was remarkable, but the most experienced plainsman would be apt to lose himself in these foothills, with the snow falling thick and the night so black he could not see his hand before his face. Mormon Joe shook his head and turned back to his task of peeling potatoes.
As he was driving to the train the next afternoon, he jumped out and ran up to the door to say good-bye to her. Marjorie opened the door, arrayed in a blue checked apron with fingers stained with peeling apples. "Good-bye, I'm off," he shouted, resisting the impulse to catch her in his arms and kiss her. "Good-bye, I'm so glad, and so sorry," she exclaimed with a shadowed face.
