"Yes, sir, I think so," I said. "Then something must be mixed up, whiting and tallow ought to do it." "Yes, Ching see; makee head velly white." "That will do, then." "No," said Ching sharply. "No tlouser, no boot?" "That will not matter, my man, so long as they are right in their upper rigging." "Light in upper ligging!" said Ching. "Ah, you go cheat, gammon pilate?"
More sweet and clear To the spirit's ear Than a wave-song on the beach; Like the baffling blue Of a mountain view, Or a dream just out of reach. Like light withdrawn By a rain-swept dawn, When the clouds are wild and gray; Like a wind that blows Through the orchard close Ever and ever away. By GEORGE HIBBARD Miss Miriam Whiting languidly descended the broad terrace steps.
I employ an English phrase to describe a class for which, in our modern democratic New England, there is no counterpart. The Stoddards, Littles, and Wendells, of Pittsfield, were represented. Colonel Ashley was there from Sheffield, Justices Dwight and Whiting from Great Barrington, and Barker from Lanesborough, with many more.
The whiting, however, supplied them with as much fish as they could eat raw. Altogether they agreed that they had had a good evening's sport, and that if they could have forgotten where they were, and that their friends were anxious about them, they should have enjoyed themselves amazingly, only that they should have preferred cooked fish to raw.
The three brigades of Whiting, Hood, and Lawton, having, like the King of France, though not with thirty thousand men, marched up the hill and down again, found at Staunton lines of beautifully shabby Virginia Central cars, the faithful, rickety engines, the faithful, overworked, thin-faced railroad men, and a sealed order from General Jackson. "Take the cars and go to Gordonsville. Go at once."
Well, we was both getting pretty hot under the collar about it when suddenly there's the blazes of a noise behind us, and there's the two kids scrapping all over the lot. The Whiting kid had started it, mind you, and him ten pounds heavier than Bill, and tough, too." The White Hope confirmed this. "Bad boy," he remarked, and with a deep breath resumed excavating work on a grapefruit.
The latter was directed to cross the Chickahominy with all his force by the Grapevine Bridge, and to pursue with eagerness. He had the directest, shortest road; immediately before him the corps which had been defeated at Gaines's Mill. With D. H. Hill, with Whiting and Lawton, he had now fourteen brigades say twenty thousand men.
Jackson, Ewell, Whiting, and D.H. Hill moved their divisions by daylight, aroused the enemy's right, intending to reach his rear, but at Cold Harbor they met the enemy in strong force.
One thing and only one thing would now avail Jeffrey Whiting. This morning on his arrival in Danton, the Bishop had been angered at learning that the two men whose lives he had saved that night by the lake at French Village had escaped from the train as they were being brought from Lowville to Danton to testify at this trial.
'Why, what are YOUR shoes done with? said the Gryphon. 'I mean, what makes them so shiny? Alice looked down at them, and considered a little before she gave her answer. 'They're done with blacking, I believe. 'Boots and shoes under the sea, the Gryphon went on in a deep voice, 'are done with a whiting. Now you know. 'And what are they made of? Alice asked in a tone of great curiosity.
