Dan's got a good place, I can tell you travelling tutor to the hopeful young lord that is to be Devereux's cousin. By all the Graces, Ma'am, 'tis the blind leading the blind. I don't know which of the two is craziest. Hey, diddle-diddle by Jupiter, such a pair the dish ran away with the spoon; but Dan's a good creature, and we'll we'll miss him.
"This is his seat, I suppose. May I take it?" And indicating an empty bowl and spoon on the nearer side of the table, he made as if he would sit down before them. In place of answering, the young man looked from him to the two on the hearth, and laughed a foolish, frightened laugh.
The oil must be added drop by drop, but this does not mean a drop every two or three minutes; you may add a drop to every one or two circuits of the spoon. The reason for adding it slowly is that each drop may form an emulsion with the egg before more goes in.
One tin plate apiece and "one to grow on"; the same of tin cups; half a dozen spoons; four knives and forks; a big spoon; two frying-pans; a broiler; a coffee-pot; a Dutch oven; and three light sheet-iron pails to nest in one another was what we carried on this trip.

Have a large wooden spoon and a fork, for the express purpose of taking pickles out of the jar when you want them for the table.

"I don't do this kind of thing, only when I've got a friend," said Brisket, tapping the tumbler with his spoon. "But I really am glad to see you.

By instinct he knew that the weak spot in that old man was fear of insecurity for his grandchildren. "Well," said James, and the soup in his spoon dribbled over, "you'll have a good allowance; but you must keep within it."
The engineer had taken from Jorgensen's plans as much as he could use every one could see that and now the "Great Power" stood with his mouth empty, simply because he had put more in his spoon than his mouth would hold.
Like Jonathan Swift, Mr. Masters is consumed with hatred for insincerity in art and insincerity in life; in the laudable desire to force the truth upon his readers, he emphasizes the ugly, the brutal, the treacherous elements which exist, not only in Spoon River, but in every man born of woman.
Why, sir, yet another story occurs to me, which might pass for an express epologue upon your father's career. Did you never hear tell of the Grand Duchess Sophia of Carinthia and her Three Wooers?" "Pardon me, Mr. Fett " I began. "Pardon me, sir," he cut me short, with a flourish of his spoon.
