The man who was pulling stroke, standing up in the boat and facing forward, fisherman-fashion, caught sight of the sinister stain almost as soon as I did, and exclaimed, as he laid in his oar with a clatter on the thwart: "Jerusher! see that, sir? See that, Tom? Smother me if it ain't blood! Now, what's been happenin' aboard this here ghastly hooker?"
Junior kept well out of the way at first, but his tone was confident well as ameliorating. "Aw, I say, Janice? he begged, "you ain't mad at me, are you?" "Why shouldn't I be?" she demanded, her face flushing and the hazel eyes sparking in an indignant way. "Well, I mean Well, I hope you ain't," stammered Arlo Junior, unable entirely to smother a grin, and yet plainly anxious to pacify Janice.
"On my life," said he, "I didn't know you were interested in the lady, Simon, or I wouldn't have taken a hand in the affair." "On my life," said I, "I'm obliged to you. What of Mlle. de Quérouaille?" "She has returned with Madame." "But will return without Madame?" "Who knows?" he asked with a smile that he could not smother. "God and the King," said I. "What of M. de Perrencourt?"
Of course the whole hall was in a smother every time, with mats and rugs all out of place upon the slippery floor. And then the noise! The only thing was to leave the house and work off some of the steam out there. No dog with a particle of nervousness or hesitation left would do such things as that. But he only did them with his master.
In short, there can be no probity, no talents, no virtue, either under corrupt masters, or under the conduct of those priests who render man the enemy to himself the determined foe to others; who seek to stifle in his bosom the germ of reason; who endeavour to smother science, or who try to damp his courage.
Her first feeling was a horrible joy at not hearing the name of Octave; but she tried to smother her hysterical utterances by pressing her mouth against the cushion upon which her face was leaning. A noise of voices was heard in the vestibule; the greatest confusion seemed to reign among the people outside.
The divine spark is undying, and though circumstances may smother the flame it enkindles, it glows in the bosom with unquenchable fire. I remember very well what the master said, instead of the imagined words I have written. "Poetry, is it? or something you meant to be called by that name? Nonsense, child folly moon-beam hallucination! Child! do you know that this is an unpardonable waste of time?
Cunning may strive to conceal, will may determine to smother, love may fondly whisper, "It does not hurt"; but the soul will not BE outraged. Somewhere, somehow, when and where you least expect, unconscious, perhaps, to its owner, unrecognized by the many, visible only to the clear vision, somewhere, somehow, the soul bursts asunder its bonds.
Keep covered tight, and simmer for ten minutes, then turn over the meat, and brown the other side it will take about ten minutes more. Then cover the meat with boiling water, or weak stock, add a glass of sherry or Madeira, or even claret, season with salt, black pepper, and Cayenne to taste, then cover the pot tight, set it where it will barely simmer and let smother for three hours.
The subjects of which her heart had been full on leaving Kellynch, and which she had felt slighted, and been compelled to smother among the Musgroves, were now become but of secondary interest. She had lately lost sight even of her father and sister and Bath.
