The king, after killing up a lot ahead, got a furlough and came in and lallygaged with the Greek slave a spell, and then the battle was lost, and "Sardine." said he might as well die for an old sheep as a lamb. So he ordered a funeral pile built of red fire, and he got on it to be burned up.
He rose and moved restlessly about, turning things over with his foot: these old papers should be burnt, and that heap of straw-packing; those empty sardine and coffee-tins be thrown into the refuse-pit. Scrubbed and clean, it was by no means an uncomfortable room; and the stove drew well. He was proud of his stove; many houses had not even a chimney.
"I was sure Malone would be good for one more free lunch after the way he talked baseball with me the last time I spent a nickel in his establishment." "I had this hand," said the Captain, extending the unfortunate member "I had this hand on the drumstick of a turkey and two sardine sandwiches when them waiters grabbed us." "I was within two inches of the olives," said Murray. "Stuffed olives.
It will go hard with us if we cannot find some way of utilizing these tins, whether we make them into flowerpots with a coat of enamel, or convert them into ornaments, or cut them up for toys or some other purpose. My officers have been instructed to make an exhaustive report on the way the refuse collectors of Paris deal with the sardine tins.
I bet him ten sardine sandwiches that we should be out of the pack by noon on the 30th, and when I turned out at 8 o'clock I was delighted to find the ship steaming through thin floes and passing into a series of great open water leads. By 6 p.m. on the 29th a strong breeze was blowing, snow was falling, and we were punching along under steam and sail.
The bits of sardine were a meal without substance for these bandits that had zest only for food seasoned with assassination. As though the pulps had understood her complaints, they had fallen on the sandy bottom, flaccid, inert, breathing through their funnels. A little crab began to descend at the end of a thread desperately moving its claws.
Gaston and Andree, refreshed, travelled down the long steps to the village, over the place, along the quay, to the lighthouse and the beach, through crowds of sardine fishers and simple hard-tongued Bretons. Cheerful, buoyant at dinner, there now came upon the girl an intense quiet and fatigue. She stood and looked long at the sea. Gaston tried to rouse her.
"Of course I shall never see Peter Rolls or his sister here," she told herself for the twentieth time, and passed through the door almost on the back of an enormous young man, while a girl closed in behind her with the intimacy of a sardine. "Gee! Get on to the tall Effect in brown!" murmured a voice. "Ain't she the baby doll?" another voice wanted to know.
"Well, the Sardine Defence League has just been formed. I think of putting up for it. I suppose you have to swear to do one kind action to a sardine everyday. Let's both join, and then we shall probably get a lot of invitations." "Do they have a tent at the Eton and Harrow match?" asked Miss Middleton anxiously. "I will inquire. I wonder if there is a Vice-Presidency vacant.
