He gets a pot o' gruel, or a saucer o' porridge, or a hunch o' bread with a mite o' cheese." Lionel looked at the man. "You cannot eat plain bread now, can you, Grind?" "All this day, sir, I shan't eat nothing; I couldn't swallow it," he answered. "After the fever and the shaking's gone, then I could eat, but not bread; it seems too dry for the throat, and it sticks in it.
I rose, and, lifting the cover of the stove, dashed in the contents of my saucer when I was startled by a shrill voice and a mocking laugh. "Oh, I see ye! I'll tell!" I had forgotten to cover the parrot. "You are no gentleman if you do!" I retorted, forgetting with whom or what I was talking. "Shut up!" said the parrot, and laughed. "I see ye, d n ye! I'll tell!"
Fresh cup an' saucer; clean plate; ditto knife; no need for a fork; now then, sit down." Accepting this hearty invitation, I was soon busy with a muffin, while Mrs Willis gave a slow, elaborate, and graphic account of the sayings and doings of Master Slidder, which account, I need hardly say, was much in his favour, and I am bound to add that he listened to it with pleased solemnity.
Amélie suggested that he was a thin kind of a cat. I did not want a thin kind of a cat. I wanted a roly-poly cat. One day I was eating a dry biscuit at tea time. He came and stood beside me, and I offered him a piece. He accepted it. So, after that, I gave him biscuit and milk. He used to sit beside his saucer, lap up his milk, and then pick up the pieces of biscuit with his paw and eat them.
To eat, drink, and sleep, to keep oneself warm, and in good condition, and to pay proper attention to one's personal appearance; that is all one has to do in a life like mine in bachelors' quarters. One has unpleasant dreams sometimes. I think my tea is occasionally too strong, though I have learned to prefer it to milk, and my master always gives it to me in his own saucer.
Add spices also as the jar grows, and if almond flavor is approved, kernels of all the stone fruit, well blanched. Lay on a saucer or small plate, when the jar is full, to hold the fruit well under the liquor. Tie down, and leave standing for three months. Fine for almost any use especially to sauce mild puddings.
I could see no blood this time, so without a sound I moved away and went to the table, where I put all the medicines carefully together to make a place and then went out into the pitch dark kitchen without stumbling against anything. There I took from the kitchen dresser a bowl with a saucer and a spoon and came back again to the room.
She had poured herself a cup of coffee, and she played with the spoon in her saucer while she seemed to listen. But she could not have been listening, for when she put down her spoon and leaned back in her chair, she said: "In those dreams the things come from such a very far way back, and they don't belong to a life that is like this.
I admired the ingenuity and delicate art with which a man fashioned clay into a cup, a saucer, or a tea-pot, while a boy turned round a wheel to give the mass rotundity. I thought this as excellent in its species of power, as making good verses in ITS species. Yet I had no respect for this potter.
The track led down into a hollow, some acres broad, like a saucer scooped between two slopes of the moor; and in the middle of it just low enough to be hidden from the valley beneath stood a whitewashed farmhouse, with a courtlege in front and green-painted gate; and by this gate three persons watched us as we came a man and two women.
