The first six months of prison life one is called a "fresh fish," the next four months a "sucker," the next two a "dry cod," and the balance of his time a "dried herring," or "old fish." After exchange he becomes a "pickled sardine." As soon as a new prisoner made his appearance at the gate, the cry of "fresh-fish," by each one ran through the prison, and a general rush was made for the gate.
21. =Sardine Sandwiches.= Butter sixteen thin slices of bread on both sides, put between each two a very thin layer of sardines, sprinkled with a little lemon juice, and brown them in a quick oven. 22. =Warmed up boiled fish, with Dutch Sauce.= Put the cold fish on the fire in plenty of cold water and salt, and let it come slowly to a boil; meantime make a sauce for it as follows.
"Hush, sir, I beg of you!" The Doctor looked round nervously. "A most peculiar " "I won't hush," roared his irascible senior. "Why should I hush? Some idiot is standing on my feet; and I'm wedged in here like a sardine. Let me speak to him." The General forced his way forward. "Now, you my man, what the devil are you doing? And what's that damned lump of mud on the fire-step?"
FRIEND AL: Just a line Al because I don't feel like writeing as I was taken sick last night from something I eat and who wouldn't be sick jammed in a room like a sardine. I had a kind of a run in with Hall because he tried to kid me about being sick with some of his funny stuff but I told him where to head in.
Once, catching sight of her father in the distance, he had asked her who was the old sardine in the petticoats, and the girl had answered gladly that it was her father, for, as a fisherman's daughter, she was proud to have her father mistaken for a sardine. At another time he had asked her if she was handy about the work of the house. How Hannah's heart had beat at the question.
The deacon may have lied to the sinner some time in a horse trade, or in selling him goods, and beat him, and how does he know but the same deacon is playing a brace game on him on the hereafter, or playing him for a sardine.
And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. Verses 1-3. "After these things," contained in the three preceding chapters, the glorious vision of the mediatorial person, and the writing and sending of the seven epistles; there seems to have intervened a pause.
Sadie would be Win's own special charge, her Mend, for whom she had the right and privilege to provide. No more work in shops for Sadie! No more work at all till she was cured. Perhaps a winter in the Adirondacks, then such radiant health as the "sardine" had hardly ever known. Meanwhile the thoughts of Ursus must be turned from the girl who could never love him to the girl who already did.
It was interesting to note how rapidly the small fry disappeared; and though it was repeated before my eyes over and over, I could hardly perceive the capture of a single sardine, so dexterously was it done. Along the equatorial limit of the southeast trade winds the air was heavily charged with electricity, and there was much thunder and lightning.
"Exactly the bill of fare needs the hors d'oeuvres; you'll go as an olive, and probably come back a sardine in a box." And the fierce little man grinned, lighted a cigarette, and sauntered away, still grinning. What did he care? He was a pompier and exempt.
