"I heard a forester sing 'Ben Dorain' last Hogmanay at home I mean in Ladyfield; he was not a good singer, and he forgot bits of the words here and there, but when he was singing it I saw the sun rise on the hill, not a slow grey, but suddenly in a smother of gold, and the hillside moved with deer. Birds whirred from the heather and the cuckoo was in the wood."
Stir well, cover and let smother for twenty minutes, stirring now and then, but keeping the pan covered. Add a cup of consommé if in hand, otherwise a cup of boiling water, cook very slowly a full half hour, seasoning to taste. After seasoning, cook ten minutes longer. Serve very hot.
There was nothing for it but to comply, and to smother their resentment at such extraordinary treatment as best they could. When they got to the old harbour on the western side the tide had risen so high that it was impossible to cross.
A 's right, and of their own illegal usurpations, and from a terror of trusting the merits of their case to a fair discussion by the laws of their country; and that the intention and main drift of all their proceedings plainly tends to stifle and smother the merits of the case from the knowledge of the world, by oppressive arts and ingenious delays, rather than trust it to the candid determination of an honest jury.
The American skipper's head flew off at a tangent, and then he rolled heavily on the deck, while in less than five minutes, with the help of Soup and Taters, who fought fiercely, the American crew were beaten back, and driven or tumbled down into the forecastle one after the other. "Hi! yew, don't shut down that there hatch," cried one of the men; "yew'll smother us."
He paused in his heavy lurching to and fro, looked at the Mexican with an air which was civil but very stiff, and answered in that discouraging tone with which skippers are apt to smother conversation when they have business on hand, "Yes, sir, one other."
For as he stood, pale and silent, the shaft of a terrible pain, of broken bone and lacerated muscle twinged and twitched his arm, and to smother it and keep from crying out he gripped bloodlessly nervously the stock of his pistol saying over and over: "I am a Conway again a man again!" And so standing he defied them and they halted, like sheep at the door of the shambles.
Emitting a long streamer of smoke, he summed up the whole thing in a nutshell with a derisory Pouf! Kirtley was inwardly fired up with resentment. Then he had to smother a laugh. This exhibition of the family taken off its guard was more instructive than volumes of discussion he might read about the true German attitude toward America toward everyone.
I woke up in the middle of the night last night and felt as if a monster sat by to throw a black cloth over me and smother me. I got up and shook myself, and my heart was beating violently. I managed to get myself free. This morning I am better.
The hippopotamus reappeared amidst a smother of foam. Its wide-open jaws closed up on the gunwale of the dug-out. The canoe listed dangerously. The Birwas still further endangered its stability by standing upright and raining absolutely ineffectual blows with their paddles upon the armour-plated head of the amphibian.
