Our man "Robert" fried it in the stew pan, which was the half of a canteen, and brought it on smoking hot. The experiment of trying to eat it disclosed the fact that it was "deeken veal" and very "stringy," I think the Spanish war soldiers would have called it. We discarded it and went back to "salt hoss." That night we crossed the Potomac on a pontoon, and were again in "My Maryland."
Perhaps some one had kissed the brow that was now so cadaverous, rubbed that sunken cheek with loving fingers, held that stringy neck with passionately living hands. But all of that was forgotten. "In the end," it seemed to be thinking, "they embalmed me with the utmost respect sound spices chosen to endure the best! I took my world as I found it. Part 3
Oliver cared very little for girls, and to have this one thrust upon him unawares as a daily companion was not to his liking. "It will be very nice for Janet," he remarked ungraciously, "but I I don't have much to do with girls." Some pure perversity made him picture his Cousin Eleanor as a prim young person, with sharp elbows and a pinched nose and stringy hair.

"She looked like a head-on collision between a fashion plate and a nightmare." The newcomer was gorgeously arrayed in a pale blue summer silk, puffed, frilled, and shirred wherever puff, frill, or shirring could possibly be placed. Her head was surmounted by a huge white chiffon hat, bedecked with three long but rather stringy ostrich feathers.
The scene has been often described to me of my grandfather sawing with darkened countenance at some indissoluble joint "Preserve me, my dear, what kind of a reedy, stringy beast is this?" of the joint removed, the pudding substituted and uncovered; and of my grandmother's anxious glance and hasty, deprecatory comment, "Just mismanaged!"
Close under the pine-walled shore a dugout was swimming toward him with infinite grace and smoothness. At the first sight his breast contracted, for it seemed to have sprung out of nothingness then his heart joyfully leaped up. At such a moment anything human was welcome. A squat little figure was huddled amidships, swinging a paddle from side to side with long, stringy arms.
