It was at once evident that it was a massive fragment of cuttle-fish tentacle or arm as thick as a stout man's body, and with six or seven sucking-discs or ACETABULA on it. These were about as large as a saucer, and on their inner edge were thickly set with hooks or claws all round the rim, sharp as needles, and almost the shape and size of a tiger's.
"There are some bangles, and a cup and saucer, and two books; and there is the chain that you sent me by Mr. Luttrell in the autumn." "Ah, that chain," said Vivian, and then he took it up and weighed it lightly in his hand. "I have never seen you wear it. I thought at first that you had got it on last night: but my eyes deceived me. My sight is not so good as it used to be.
No sooner was the pot hung on the pot-hook, than she would slip away with a big saucer and fetch sirup from the shop. And she would flounce down before the porridge dish and gobble to her heart's content. If any of her fellow-servants claimed an equal share, she would simply answer, "It's me!" They dared not rebel.
Teaching the present table of contents to expand in that direction does not mean that talking comes more easily in every language. It does mean that the use of all of it yesterday made the table have only one waiter. This did not ease the ones saying the same of a plate as they do of a saucer. All the time to rest and not any time of day to go away is not so much more pleasing than an afternoon.
D'you bring me coffee on purpose, just to be onery? I thought I told yuh to straighten up and quit that sulkin'. I ain't going to have folks think " "Oh, be quiet! Shame on you, before everyone!" she whispered fiercely while she lifted the cup and saucer. Bud went hot all over.
The face peered down into the darkness, and a stump of candle burning in a saucer threw a wavering beam on to Henry's face looking up. "Gi
"But this is the last isn't it?" said Laura. "Yes," admitted Jadwin, with a quick, deep breath. "I'm done now. No more speculating. Let some one else have a try now. See if they can hold five million bushels till it's wanted. My, my, I am tired as I've said before. D'that tea come, Laura?" "What's that in your hand?" she answered, smiling. Jadwin stared at the cup and saucer he held, whimsically.
He was gone from the pavement, he had entered her house, he was on her stair the grey ghost of the soldier! She had a minute's grace. Slipping her hand into the cupboard she drew out another cup and saucer, and laid the table for two. There was his face his hands at her door! But what a foreign grey body!
Come what may, you have your own particular clean hot plate, cup and saucer, knife, fork, spoon and napkin, with a table to eat from and a chair to sit on and a lamp to see by, if you are eating after dark which often happens and nothing else matters, but food.
I had no mind to condemn myself to drink the droppings of a roof for life, nor to perform my ablutions by the aid of a teacup and a saucer. The place, for all its beauty, was plainly uninhabitable as the Sahara. A camel might have lived there with content; it was no place for a family used to the delights of tubbing.
