God! how swift the years go by when they are happy years! "Reuben," sez Bill to me, "le's go down' cellar and draw a pitcher uv cider!" You see that, bein' men, it wuz n't for us to make a show uv ourselves. Marty an' Lizzie just hugged each other an' laughed an' cried they wuz so glad! Then they hugged Cyrus an' leetle Lizzie; and talk and laff?
The right fielder must be on the look-out for the catcher's signal to throw to first or second base, because, in order that he may get in line with the throw, it is necessary that he shall start when the pitcher begins to deliver. He cannot wait until the catcher throws or he will be too late to get in line. The most unsatisfactory feature in base-ball to the player himself, is batting.
There was a pitcher of water and a tumbler on an old marble sideboard near by. He filled the tumbler, and Cynthia emptied it as if she had just been taken from the rack, and could have swallowed a bucketful. "What do you want to know?" she asked. "I wish to know all that you can tell me about a certain paper, or certain papers, which I have reason to believe Mr.
"Eat like that. When you're going to hear him play. And after what he said, and everything." "Well, is that any reason why I should starve to death?" "But I don't see how you can," repeated Fanny helplessly, and looked at her mother. Mrs. Brandeis reached for the cream pitcher and poured a little more cream over Theodore's baked apple.
Sometimes Maggie would pop her head in, with a request that he would help her to carry the great pitcher of water up-stairs, or do some other little household service; with which request he occasionally complied, but with so many complaints about the interruption, that at last she told him she would never ask him again.
The birds were now ready, and the table was spread. With this fare, eked out by dry toast from the loaf, and moistened with cups of water from the pitcher, to which Swithin added a little wine from the flask he had carried on his journey, they were forced to be content for their supper. When Lady Constantine awoke the next morning Swithin was nowhere to be seen.
But although neither Clarice nor Rachel could understand his language, they saw very clearly that he greatly required food. "Come along, den," said Rachel; "you shall hab some in de twinkle ob an eye, as soon as we get home. Missie Clarice, me carry de pitcher, or Indian fancy you white slavey;" and Rachel laughed at her own wit.
"Well, what are you going to tackle next, Tom?" asked Ned, one day about a month after these exciting experiences. "I don't know," was the slow answer. "I think a self-swinging hammock, under an apple tree, with a never-emptying pitcher of ice-cold lemonade would be about the thing." "Good, Tom! And, if you'll invent that, I'll share it with you." "Well, come on, let's begin now," laughed Tom.
The red cloth was folded back across the end of the dining-table, and at the other end were mother's white board and rolling-pin, the pudding-cloth wrung into a twist out of the scald, and waiting upon a plate, and a pitcher of cold water with ice tinkling against its sides.
Ivy, home for the Easter vacation, was at the piano. Ma Keller was sewing. Pa Keller cleared his throat. "I see by the paper," he announced, "that Schlachweiler's been sold to Des Moines. Too bad we lost him. He was a great little pitcher, but he played in bad luck. Whenever he was on the slab the boys seemed to give him poor support."
